 | I love this cookbook! Feb 1, 2010 |
| I have had the Big Green Cookbook for a few months and I have to say that I'm happy with every recipe I've tried. They're really easy to follow. The chocolate chip cookies (they're called Happy Planet Cookies) are so good they should be marketed! You hyperbake them, which means that you use less gas or electricity. That's just the beginning. There are lots of other cool energy-saving techniques in the book and tons of helpful tips. The recipes are divided by seasons too, which is a good idea. I wish more cookbooks were arranged this way. Some of my other favorite recipes so far that I highly recommend are Berry Good Micro-Bars, Garlicky Spinach Flatbread Pizzette, Brew and Bean Chili, Star Chicken Stir Fry, Baby Arugula Orzo Salad, Grape Poppers, and Hass Avocado and Black Bean Salad. I should say that the avocado black bean salad is always a hit at parties. I love this cookbook! | | | | One of a kind cookbook! Jun 24, 2009 |
| I just purchased this cookbook a few weeks ago and couldn't be happier with my decision! Jackie Newgent's twenty-seven clever tips for low-carbon cooking are truly innovative and have helped me lower my energy bill quite significantly. I really appreciate her common-sense approach to cooking and living an eco-friendly lifestyle--plus, her recipes are delicious!! | | |  | Good Book on how to go green Jun 2, 2009 |
| Good book to teach you how to go green, little tips make going green an easy transistion | | | | Simply Green May 10, 2009 |
I found this to be a really thoughtful and straightforward guide to a greener lifestyle. I like how the recipes are easy-to-follow and don't require a ton of ingredients and the text is printed large enough that you don't have to crank your neck to read it when you're following a recipe in your kitchen.
I also enjoyed the clever little tips throughout the book that make reading it interesting and enjoyable. Plus, leaving no stone unturned, the book was printed on recycled paper with soy-based inks. I highly recommend you buy this book and see for yourself! | | | | A great cookbook and so much more Apr 26, 2009 |
| I have been eating local food for quite a while now. But I never had any cookbook other than some vegetarian cookbooks that were close to my way of eating. So when I saw several green-type cookbooks come out recently, it had me curious. The Big Green Cookbook was the one that I ended up picking mostly because it had so many recipes and I wanted a cookbook, not a book book. Luckily this cookbook not only had all the recipes that has already helped me cook more interesting recipes, using ingredients by season that I can find (mostly locally), it had so many tips (not sciency/texty) that were extra helpful. The 27 tips in the front of the book are great. And several I have never thought of before. I love how the tips are laid out with all the recipes too, and leaving it up to everyone to go as green as they want to go with a friendly tone. For me it's pretty green. But also the cookbook works for my boyfriend who wants a little meat from time to time even though I'm still trying to get him to give it up completely. I'm enjoying this cookbook more than expected. | | | Write your own review about Big Green Cookbook: Hundreds of Planet-Pleasing Recipes and Tips for a Luscious, Low-Carbon Lifestyle
