The take in is pretty and the recipes are well-organized by season. But, there are few recipes that I can really use in real life and the introductory psycho- and nutri-babble pages are unhelpful and unnecessary. I am glad that I checked this book out of the library rather than bought it.

I like this book. It clarifies the benefits of eating clean and organic, the nutrients establish in many foods, foods that are in season… But, this is a lacto-vegetarian cookbook and it does not say that anywhere on the front, back or inside panels. Fantastic if you want to brush up on your lacto-vegetarian recipes, but there is no meat anywhere in this book. You can eat meat and still be “clean!” But I would say def a must for vegetarians and vegans.

“Clean Food” by Terry Walters is, essentially, “Simple Food” by Alice Waters, but 99% lacto-vegetarian. The whole concept revolves around eating fresh, organic produce. While I do appreciate this book and many of the recipes in it, I also have some complaints.
Firstly, there are no (?) recipe pictures. Readers are treated to gorgeous paintings…of landscapes, but no food. I appreciate the photography of cookbooks just as much as the recipes themselves! Why no pictures? Especially since the book is printed on thick, nice paper?
Also, I establish some of the leader’s writing obnoxious. In the intro to one recipe, she exclaims how much her family tree (children AND dog) just LOVE unadorned Nori. I don’t know about you, but I can’t imagine feeding unadorned, dried seaweed to most children. The bottom line here is this: I don’t feel like her recipe introductions clarify her like of food or recipes…it seems like she’s boasting how healthy she and her family tree are.
Even the title “Clean Food” has weird connotations. As Alice Waters and even Tyler Florence have demonstrated in their cookbooks, veganism isn’t the only answer for “clean” eating. Cooks can buy local, fresh butter and free-range organic chicken. There are ways of eating mindfully and respectfully lacking only feasting on soy-based meat replacements and millet.
On the additional hand, some of the recipes are tasty and simple. I especially like the salads, sides, and desserts. Most of the recipes are reasonably simple to prepare and aren’t too expensive. In fact, these are probably the least expensive recipes from any lacto-vegetarian/vegetarian cookbook in recent memory.
I would recommend this book to any health-minded cook with a warning that the leader’s tone is sometimes obnoxious and the book features only soy-based proteins. For persons who do eat animal proteins/butter/milk/carbohydrates, I reflect “Simple Food” by Alice Waters is a better choice. If your children are not lacto-vegetarian, you may have distress feeding these recipes to them. Unless, of course, they feast on unadorned Nori with delight…

I have to agree with “S. Cobert” on this one. Clean Food is a very pretty, well place together cookbook – it’s a pleasure to thumb through. The recipes themselves place a lot to be desired, though.
I received this book for Christmas and my first thought was, “Fantastic! I’ll make a nice winter meal for my boyfriend.” Like S. Cobert noted, but, the book lacks main entree dishes and the major sources of protein are processed soy foods. Not a whole lot to choose from.
By contrast, Colleen Patrick-Goudreau’s The Lacto-vegetarian Table: 200 Unforgettable Recipes for Entertaining Every Guest at Every Occasion, is an brilliant seasonal cookbook that is both gorgeous and has wonderful thoughts for full menus with balanced nutrition.

If you want to eat seasonably this book is a fantastic resource. The leader follows some Macrobiotic principals lacking discussing yin and yang. My family tree is building the transition to cleaner eating and this book has helped us tremendously.
