Great Information but Buyer Beware |
I love this book. Then again, I love most of the books that I have on juicing. What I like most is the nutritional information presented on the fruits and vegetables in here. I had a limited palate for fruits and vegetables before I ever started juicing. Then I read a Christian health book that promoted juicing and detoxification. I did a serious detox program along with juicing and had dramatic results a couple of years ago. It really made me realize that I was neglecting my health by neglecting nutrition. Later I purchased this book because I wanted more recipes. This book has about 50 and I've tried about 30 of them. What I love about this juicing book is that I can find all of the ingredients where I live. Other juicing books like Gary Null's sound great, but I can't find half of the ingredients he lists. The other less than favorable reviews are also correct in stating that this author slants toward a vegetarian lifestyle and organic fruits and vegetables. Another reviewer also pointed out that several recipes call for ginger and celery which is also true. But you could easily substitute fennel for celery and something else for ginger or don't add the ginger. I am not a vegan but I have no problem with the author's views on those issues. I just wanted to learn more about what I was actually juicing, and the information presented in this book along with a few others, convinced me that juicing is definitely worth the time and investment for good health. I'm not a health nut but I don't trust the quick fix vitamin industry. As someone who is 40 years old, I cannot absorb many vitamins in pill form so I rely on juicing when I feel sluggish or depressed and it always helps me. The key for me having a variety of recipes available so I don't get bored. If you want to incorporate juicing into your lifestyle, I very much doubt that just one juicing book will address all of your problems or issues or have every favorite recipe. That is why I advocate buying more than one book on the subject. Also, look up recipes on the Internet and try those first before you invest in some books. And when you buy the books, either buy them brand new so you can return them if you don't like them, or buy them used from others really cheap.

only 50 limited recipes |
|
The book has only 50 recipes and most of them call for ginger or celery or parsley that I hate. I could find only 3-4 recipes that sounded good to me. I saw the book in a store and liked that it had nutrition information for juices. Not every book has that. But the recipes themselves suck if you do not like ginger or celery. |

Good book but recommends Juicers no longer available |
|
The book is good and lots of easy recipes and great tips on how to prepare things to be juiced. The only problem is the book was written quite a long time ago and the juicers he recommends have long been discontinued. I researched other juicers by the same brand names of the ones he liked, but the on-line reviews of other juicers from those very same companies were often quite bad. Apparently companies who make juicers occasionally hit the jackpot and make a fantastic model once in a while, but their other models are not very good. Then, of course, as all companies do, they "improve" the fantastic model and mess it up completely, and it ends up being not very good at all. Why companies feel compelled to change a very good thing just for the heck of it I don't know, but many products are ruined after a couple years by being discontinued and replaced with a new model that is not half as good. So the book is very good to learn about juicing, but you're on your own to find a current, good brand of juicer. |

Love the Book--and Still Eat Meat, etc; great recipes, nutritional info |
Hey--I am not a vegetarian, but sure appreciated this book for its multiple qualities and useful info:
a. recipes--main reason I got, combo ones as well as those under individual fruits and vegetables: even teenage son likes "Cruciferous Surprise" (even has broccoli and cabbage, and the surprise ingredient which "soothes" the flavor), which tastes better than its green color, and "Better Red than Dead" (carrot, beet and sweet potato) builds up sun protection, etcetc.. innovative, tasty
b. fruit and vegetable individual listings, such as carrots,apple, broccoli, listing nutritional components,vitamins, calories, benefits, as well as good tasty combinations for each
c. benefits of juicing, nutritional primer/info--this may be where some other readers were left cold, as they did not embrace what they perceived as author's vegetarian perspective/agenda. It is handy to read about why juicing (in combination with other food consumption) can be more beneficial than just munching raw or cooked veggies. Well, I am not a vegetarian, and sure still like meat and chocolate!...but one can take what one wants from the book, as in other matters in life. There is a section on juice fasting, as well, for those interested.
Of the several juicing books I had, I wound up actually using this repeatedly, and have given several copies, new and used when I can find them, away over the past couple of years. |
