4 out of 5 stars Don't let the word "organic" put you off.   September 11, 2008
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Even though I am a huge fan of Jessie Cool's restaurant, the Flea Street Cafe, I wasn't planning on getting this cookbook--a cookbook devoted to organic foods just didn't float my boat. However, after tasting three of the recipes at dinner parties, I was hooked. I've made four of the recipes so far and each tastes as good as I anticipated it would. My only negative comment, and the reason I withheld the final star, is that everything is arranged by season--It would be so much easier to find things by recipe categories or meals. With the wealth of recipes available on the internet, I no longer buy cookbooks. I'm glad I made an exception for this one.

Slap the word 'organic' on the cover of any other cookbook you have and you have this book. I've seen the recipes before in other books and would have preferred the author to talk about food items that are primarily grown organically or are only found in the wild. Maybe more information on growing your own organic vegetable garden and then bringing them into the kitchen and then their return to the compost pile? The sustainability of the full circle household.


4 out of 5 stars Very beautiful book   June 13, 2008

I received this book as a gift for my birthday and it has turned out to be a wonderful surprise. I love how the book is formatted by seasons. In general the book is beautiful. Almost too beautiful... I am afraid to have it in my kitchen while I cook! That aside, I just enjoy reading it. I agree with another review in that I wish it had more pictures.

5 out of 5 stars Sooo Cool   March 17, 2008
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.


4 out of 5 stars I think it's great   March 11, 2008

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.
