More-With-Less Cookbook
: I grew up in Africa and my mother used this cookbook just about every day. The recipes contain an easily attainable ingredients list. We lived in the jungle and used it! Now I want to get one of my own to save grocery costs for my growing family and give them more wholesome foods.
I've had this book all my adult life. If you want to eat less meat, fat, or sugar -- whether your motivation is health, money, or environmentalism -- this book will help. The Kusherie is among the most delicious meals I've ever made -- and I make it a lot. The tone of the recipes, the philosophical notes, and the asides across the top all feel like you're learning how to cook at the elbow of a beloved aunt. None of these recipes is about depriving yourself, but instead about finding joy in unexpected ways. Everyone who cooks should have this book.
The More-with-Less Cookbook put me on the irrevocable way to healthful, conscious living when I first starting using it nearly 20 years ago. I still refer to it for simple, delicious, nutritious recipes that call for ingredients that don't deplete the earth. But this book is more than a cookbook. With its photographs, quotes, intelligent discussions and useful nutrition tables, it's an inspiration to live more simply, with a view toward focussing on other people rather than on material things.
This book was recommended to me by a friend of mine, and after living with it for a couple of months, I can say that it has become my favorite cookbook. The recipies are well laid out and the introductions are helpful and informative. I like that the directions are specific and that she doesn't take for granted that you know certain things, like how to incubate the yogurt culture when making yogurt or how to cook dried beans. I also like all of the recipies that make use of healthy and inexpensive whole grains. It's a great book!
Doris's no nonsense book to cooking filling,frugal,and nutrious meals was a blessing for me.....The recipes for the most part are tasty and the ones that were so so were easily adaptable. Every new wife or mother should have this book!!
