Excellent!

Excellent book in excellent condition and excellent service - what more could you ask for?

lengthy preperations but WORTH IT!

the preperations are not difficult, but they do take a while- involving many steps. however, i wouldn't want to skip a thing because there is a reason for the preperations and it comes out in the taste. the vegetable lasagne was one of the best i have ever made and it had a substantial taste to it that satisfied my meat-loving and veggie-hating husband. this is one of the better cookbooks on healthy gourmet cuisine.

great book!

I loved watching Michel Nischan on Oprah, them working together is geneous. I have eaten his food, and he has a gift for incredible taste and health at the same time. The book was wonderfully put together, and I'm happy I got to see how my dad put together the book throughout the whole process.

Great, if you have the time and a great market

These recipes look delicious and healthy, but I didn't know they would be so involved. I have never even heard of some of the ingredients, so I doubt I'd find them at my local grocer. I do love the idea of using vegetable juices instead of butter, etc.

Easy yet Challenging Food

If you care about good food and like to cook, if you want to heat healthfully and like to serve seasonal food, Taste, Pure and Simple is the book for you. The photos are gorgeous but it's Nichan's fresh, enthusiastic, and reassuring voice that convinced me to cook these dishes. They are easy but sophisticated and all of them taste great. This book is fantastic for anyone who cares about their time in the kitchen, the environment, and their health.
