Rating:  Summary: A cookbook well worth its price! Review: While studying in Nairobi, Kenya, I was introduced to this wonderful cookbook by a missionary couple. Now as a wife and mother, I often turn to its simple recipes that appeal to the palate as well as the pocketbook. And its basic premise - conserving the world's limited food resources - encourages you to make a difference by 1) working to eliminate processed foods from your diet; 2) eating less meat; and 3) consuming more fruits, vegetables and grains.As a companion to More-With-Less, I recommend Extending the Table: A World Community Cookbook, by Joetta Handrich Schlabach. It also contains frugal recipes with a delightful variety of international flavors. Both cookbooks contain interesting vignettes about the origins of many recipes.
Rating:  Summary: Will become an instant favorite for the family cook Review: With a comb binding allowing it to be laid out flat for cooking convenience, Doris Longacre's More-With-Less Cookbook is a showcase of Mennonite recipes for eating better while consuming less of the world's limited food resources. From Whole Wheat Pineapple Muffins, Vietnam Fried Rice, Three-Grain Peanut Bread, and Poor Man's Lobster Thermidor, to German Potato Noodles, Applesauce Crunch, Garden Vegetable Curry, and Old-Fashioned Sugar Cookies, More-With-Less Cookbook is a superbly presented collection of outstanding recipes. Along with an organized ingredients list and cooking instructions, each individual recipe notes how many servings to expect. More-With-Less Cookbook will become an instant favorite for the family cook.
