Juicing Book or Garden of Vegan

Juicing Book: A Complete Guide to the Juicing of Fruits and Vegetables for Maximum Health

Author: Stephen Blauer

For centuries, the world's greatest civilizations have known about the importance of fresh juice derived from fruits and vegetables. They have used juices to retain health, restore vigor, and overcome illness. Only in the last thirty years, with the advent of refined commercial juices, has the value of juices declined. Relegated to the status of soft drinks, the majority of bottled and canned juices available today offer very little benefit to the consumer. Now, Stephen Blauer, co-author of The Macrobiotic Way, has written this informative and lively book telling people just how important fresh juices can be. The Juicing Book is the complete guide to using juices to maximize your health and vitality. The author offers up-to-date information on the value of juices in relationship to your body's needs; explains the differences between commercially grown crops and organically grown produce; and provides easy-to-follow techniques for ridding fruits and vegetables of herbicides and pesticides. Also included are delicious recipes, comprehensive charts, and detailed instructions on using various juicing equipment. The Juicing Book shows you just how you can get the most nutritional value from apples to zucchini - and practically everything in-between.

Author: Tanya Barnard

Get tempted by an inspiring array of vegan recipes from the authors of How It All Vegan!

When How It All Vegan!: Irresistible Recipes for an Animal-Free Diet was published in 1999, authors Tanya Barnard and Sarah Kramer were hailed for their fun and outlandish approach to vegan cooking, taking it out of the realm of the staid and the boring to create truly original animal-free dishes. How It All Vegan! was a Book Sense 76 selection and has sold 50,000 copies to date.

The Garden of Vegan: How It All Vegan Again! picks up where the first book left off. Tanya and Sarah, vegan chefs extraordinaire, have created truly delectable, truly original new recipes that manage to leave the animal products (including butter, milk, cheese and honey) where they belong, with their natural owners. Where How It All Vegan! was, in many ways, a bible for the uninitiated vegan, The Garden of Vegan goes one step further, offering recipes for a more sophisticated palate that add funky twists to familiar dishes bursting with color and flavor. At the same time, they are fun and easy to prepare, even for those of us who find boiling water a challenge.

Whether you're a full-time vegan or just interested in creating fabulous animal-free meals, The Garden of -Vegan will lead you into temptation with its inspiring -array of vegan goodies. So skip that steak and forget that fish. It's time to discover how it all vegan, again!

Two-color throughout, including numerous pictures.
