Summary: Good information, a few decent recipes
Review: First, there's some really good information on flaxseeds in this book and that's why I'm giving it four stars. Some of the muffin recipes sound good to me, but that's about it for the cookbook portion. Pancake syrup and light corn syrup are common ingredients used in baked goods. Most of the smoothie recipes call for ice cream or frozen yogurt (sounds like a milk shake to me). As for the rest of the recipes - just add 1/4 cup ground flaxseed to whatever you cook.

Summary: FULL OF VALUABLE INFORMATION AND GREAT RECIPES
Review: I was given this book as a gift and recently started going through it, reading all the information and tips and making some of the recipes and I had to write in to tell everyone about it.I don't know what I valued more--the scientific information on flaxseed in the beginning, the 101 practical tips on how to buy, store, grind, and use flax, or all the recipes! After doing a search on amazon I realized this is the only cookbook that features GROUND flax and not flax oil (which Ms. Magee points out only gives you the omega-3s from ground flax but not the several other powerful components that you get with ground flax. I plan on giving this book to several friends for the holidays along with a nice bag of ground flax to get them going.

Summary: Good information, a few decent recipes
Review: I've been a vegetarian for over 20 years, organic grains, fruits and vegetables are a priority. The recipes in this book include the following items: canned fruit in syrup, JIF peanut butter, Rice Krispies, caramel topping, white flour, white sugar, chocolate chips, raspberry preserves, sweetened condensed milk, frozen white bread dough, not to even mention the chicken, bacon, and other meats. Does Elaine Magee think that by adding 1/3 cup of ground flaxseed she can "undo" all the junk??? I would rate is "minus 10 star", if that option were available. (of course, no one remembers subjunctive mode anymore)
