I know that as a resident health guru, Andrew Weil has a lot expected of him. He certainly delivered in this cookbook entry based on his restaurant menu by the same name. In addition to many unusual and healthy recipes, there are several valuable insights into the world of healthy eating. My one small criticism would be that there are so many uncommon food ingredients that one has to practically relearn cooking! But, I certainly think it is worth trying. I tried a few recipes from this book and they turned out very nice. The Curried Cauliflower Soup and the Sweet Potatoe-Poblano Soup are truly outstanding. A lot of the others are just not stimulating enough for me - a lot of it is fish / shellfish, bison meat, or require purchase or preparation of specialty ingredients such as umami sauce and yuzo kosho. I prefer simpler undertakings. For example, the book has an interesting curry recipe, but it seemed quite complicated with lots of ingredients, so I simply turned to Heidi's Weeknight Curry in Supernatural Cooking. Much easier and just as healthy and nutritious. I contemplated the many recipes for several weeks, but in the end simply could not get myself motivated to try them.
