With her weeknight-friendly dishes, real-foodie Heidi Swanson teaches home cooks how to become confident in a whole-foods kitchen by experimenting with alternative flours, fats, grains, sweeteners, and more.

"At last a cookbook is coming that makes natural food appear glamorous and desirable..."

Salon.com, March 6, 2007
Swanson goes a long way toward helping "whole" foods shed their stale, hippie stigma...

The evocative photographs, most of which were taken by Swanson, lure you into the book.

Customer Reviews

true beauty in food
I love everything I have made so far; Do-It-Yourself Power Bars, Wheat Berry Salad, Garlic Scape Soups (I used ramsons) and Crusted Brussel Sprouts are in my best recipes file.

This book has lots of beautiful pictures; the author has a good taste and knows how to show us the true beauty in food.

Fabulous Book
I bought this for my mom and I to share. We love to by one copy of a cookbook and pass it back and forth. Well, this one is so good, I am ashamed to say I have monopolized the book. The recipes are unique, which I LOVE. The pictures are great, and the info in between each section is great. We are trying to eat better a little at a time, and this book gives great ideas for those, like me, who love to cook. The recipes do call for a lot of ingredients that I didn't initially have but have been collecting. Eating better does cost more but it's worth it to me.

Interesting
I love the design and photography in this book, it's fun to look at. I am not 100% on the recipes. I was disappointed to find most of the dessert recipes call for butter and sugar instead of alternatives. It's a good book to get you "started" finding new ideas for cooking naturally.
