Customer Reviews

Great cookbook!

I love this cookbook! It has a lot of interesting combinations of ingredients that I would have not thought to combine. I was enticed to buy the book after eating in a couple of Jesse's restaurants, and have not been disappointed with any of the recipes I have tried. It is a beautiful book to look at and it's organization into seasonal recipes and its emphasis on local ingredients is lovely indeed. I just bought a copy for a friend.

Sooo Cool

Chef Jesse Cool has written another beautiful cookbook. This one is an updated and improved version of her earlier Organic book. Thank you, Jesse, for sharing your organic wisdom and your oh so creative, yet simple, cooking style. This book is a must have for those of us who want to cook healthy and delicious food at home.

I think it's great

I received the book in the mail the other day. The book was bigger than I expected but that's cool. I found myself reading most of the introduction which is rare. The only thing I regret about this book is that there were not enough pictures. I found the recipes to be simple and interesting enough to want to try them. I have'n read anything else by this author but I can say I like this one and am excited about trying the recipes.

Organic, delicious, and simple

What a find! Jesse Cool's recipes are delicious and simple, and this cookbook is absolutely beautiful. This is a staple I will come back to again and again, and I look forward to giving this cookbook as a gift to friends!

An improved update of a book I lost a few years ago...

I'm thrilled this book is back in a much improved, gorgeously formatted version. I had the original edition from some years back, lent it to a friend that ended up moving out of the country, and I'd been meaning to order a used copy for eons until I read something about it recently. The seasonal organization makes it so easy to eat the real food that Jesse's been advocating for, and cooking with, for decades. I can't wait to make the angel food cake again!
