Who else but Whole Foods Market could create a cookbook so fresh, so appealing, so full of valuable information, and so perfect for the way we are all cooking and eating today? Bursting with winning recipes, healthful cooking advice, cheerful guidance through the new language of natural foods, wine and cheese information, and a comprehensive glossary, this is a “thank goodness it’s here” kind of cookbook. The world’s largest natural and organic supermarket has created 350 show more contemporary recipes that are destined to become new classics. Whole Foods Market presents the most popular dishes from their prepared foods section, combined with brand-new recipes that showcase the wide variety of delicious ingredients available today. Far from “crunchy granola” fare, sophisticated recipes include Shrimp and Scallop Chalupas, Hazelnut Crusted Pork Loin, Thai-Style Green Curry Chicken, Griddled Sesame and Garlic Tofu with Wilted Bok Choy, Honey Jalapeño Barbecue Sauce, and Maple Butterscotch Macadamia Blondies. From meat and fish to tofu and vegetables, kid-friendly dishes to one-pot meals, the choices are dazzling, and with more than 200 of the recipes either vegetarian or vegan, the options are diverse. But the recipes are just the beginning. Steve Petusevsky and Whole Foods Market Team Members shed light on the confusing world of natural foods, presenting interesting, accessible information and all kinds of helpful cooking advice. The Whole Foods Market Cookbook is as welcoming and fun as a trip to one of their stores. Find out the answers to questions such as: How do I cook quinoa? What are the different kinds of tofu, and how do I know which to buy? How should I stock a great natural foods pantry? What are good alternatives to wheat pasta? What does “organic” mean? A glossary with more than 150 definitions provides a great reference for all of the terms and ingredients that have been edging their way into our vocabularies and kitchens. With recipe bonuses, tips from the team, variations, sidebars, and 30 menu suggestions, this is the natural foods guide that so many of us have been waiting for. show lessTags

I bought this cookbook 09/06/02 and I have just now decided to read it and cook from it. It's a very good cookbook. Good glossary and helpful hints. I'm not sure, though, that cooking with oat milk is preferable to cooking with soy milk.
The authors describe these luscious recipes in mouthwatering detail so that compensates for the lack of pictures. Tonight I made White Bean and Kale Gratin with English Farmhouse Cheddar and it was delectable. (Okay, I used Mexican Taco Cheese, but that's okay!)
As the author said ". . . .The almonds roast onto the surface of the cheddar cheese, forming a crispy, aromatic mantle, which is easily cracked open to expose the bubbling beans. . . ."
Now to find another recipe in here to use up the rest of the show more kale. . . .
Update 09/21/16 - The Picadillo recipe is awesome! Very tangy, delicious on tortillas! show less

Beautiful recipe book that is fatally flawed by the inconsistency of its recipes: are the untried or misdescribed? Either way, too many of the recipes cannot be made as described.
This cook book covers a wide variety of recipes (appetizers, soups, salads, entrees), many with ethnic flair. Many of the recipes take a considerable amount of time to make, but the resulting food is delicious! Great for the health conscious cook with plenty of time and access to some unusual ingredients.
