My Favorite New Cookbook by Kat Can Cook
This is fast becoming my new favorite cookbook. I have only tried a few recipes so far: Seared Scallops, Artichokes with Jalapeno Arugala aioli, Fusion Cole Slaw, and Cheesy Zuchini. They were all excellent. I look forward to creating many more. The pictures make me want to make all the recipes, just beautiful!

A Must Have for your Cookbook Shelf by Judy
A great cookbook also tells a story. This is a wonderful story of a family, a business, and filled with incredible recipes. The discussion of why organic and the types of foods that are best for you start the reader off. There are personal touches with photos that make the reader feel a part of their story (so to speak). The recipes have history to them and are excellent. It is good sized book and is more than worth the price paid. A must for the serious cook or someone just getting started and wants to explore great food possibilities

Fresh, Delicious, Perfect! by AM Coleman
I recently received a copy of The Earthbound Farm Organic Cookbook, Food to Live By, by Myra Goodman with Linda Holland and Pamela McKinstry, from Lillian Margolin, an intern at Earthbound Farms. As soon as I had pulled the book from it’s box, I started reading and couldn’t stop. I even found myself reading it by candlelight that evening so I wouldn’t disturb my infant daughter sleeping nearby.

I was captivated by the story of the young couple, Drew and Myra Goodman, living on a farm in exchange for property improvements, and selling raspberries to help pay the bills. Captivated because it’s exactly the sort of thing I would do myself.

It’s hard to believe that Earthbound Farms came from such meager beginnings considering just how large they are now. I think one of the most fun facts about them is that they were the first to introduce and sell pre-washed bagged salads. I don’t know of anyone who hasn’t purchased bagged salad, and it was neat to read that Earthbound Farms is where that idea was born.

This cookbook has quickly become one of my favorites, and I can see myself turning to it often. The recipes are fabulous–there is no ingredient so foreign that it can’t be found–or at least a suitable replacement–nearby. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow and each recipe has a little history or fact written about it. That’s something I truly appreciate, since the recipes in my own family cookbook all have a little something written about them. That extra makes the book very personal and also tells the reader that each recipe has actually been made, and loved, by the author, Myra Goodman.

The photos are beautiful and story-telling. This book is not just packed with over 260 delicious recipes, it’s full of helpful tips and interesting facts; Myra’s ‘Four Food Choices I Live By’ is something everyone should read, and heed. I also love that it’s not just a cookbook, the story it begins with could easily stand on it’s own.

A short time ago an acquaintance suggested I use ‘X-Product’ on my tomatoes, and I just nodded politely, all the while thinking, “WHY would I put a chemical on, in or near my food and then feed it to my family?” No thanks–garlic and marigolds planted near my tomatoes have provided all the protection I need. Reading this book has made me feel completely vindicated in my own gardening practices, which I didn’t really see as organic until now.

I made the granola (which can also be purchased at the Earthbound Farms website) just before my oldest daughter took off on a camping trip. She and her friends loved it, as did the rest of my family. So we’ve eaten it straight up, as a cereal with cold milk, and as a hot cereal one morning. The only thing I did differently was to use chopped, dried apricots in place of the raisins; I love raisins, but I have a few ‘raisin-haters’ here.

If you love vegetables, if you’re striving for a healthier body and earth, please pick up a copy of this cookbook, you’ll come to appreciate and love it as much as I do!

Great Recipes! by Lori
This book has very easy to follow recipes. I haven’t made one yet that I didn’t like. I highly recommend trying the corn chowder (which is wonderful in a bread bowl), the foggy day chili (it’s really spicy, I downsized on the chili powder) and the chicken satay skewers with the peanut dipping sauce.
