Great recipes for the whole family, vegetarian or not!

I have been using this cookbook for 30 years, no kidding! My family lives the cornbread, banana bread, and muffin recipes. Great basic instruction as well as wonderful recipes in every area. Will serve your family well for decades.

Learning and Using Natural Foods Daily

This undersung book is a precursor to many of the more "modern" natural foods cookbooks; e.g. C. Lair's "Feeding the Whole Family." But what is a treasure in this book is Mary Estella's experience both as a gourmet chef and a mother, teaching how to not only make delicious meals but how to organize and do it expeditiously. The book has beautiful photos, a practical section on cutting vegies and even how to sharpen a knife and set up a kitchen to cut and prepare foods.Nightshades are used in the book, but can easily be eliminated from the recipes, IF desired. This is a treasure especially for those first coming into contact with whole foods. This book, coupled with Lair's book, or Rebecca Wood's "The Splendid Grain" or "Whole Food Encyclopedia" gives a firm foundation to your kitchen.
