Organic & Wholefoods: Naturally Delicious Cuisine (Culinaria Series)

Rating:
Summary: An unbelievably perfect book on organic "culinaria" !!
Review: Organic & Wholefoods is a book of beautiful photography and extensive and instructional text on all categories of food and ingredients, preparation and cultivation. I have never seen a book on these subjects done so satisfyingly well. It begins with definitions, history, and some basic nutrition to orient one and explain how "organic" really does come from and create health. Then, in inspirationally beautiful and intelligent fashion, the food categories are covered. Historical, cultural, horticultural and culinary information is presented. (also exciting recipes!) The animal and animal products sections are fabulously well done, too. There is a section on herbs, on oils & vinegars, on drinks...nothing is left out. The last few sections cover the kitchen, the organic garden and organic farming itself. This book is a feast and yet not intimidating or overwhelming. I'm "gushing", I know, but I have never found anything even close to this amazing. This book is inextinguishably thrilling.
