While I love More with Less, I love Simply in Season even more

I would like to add “Lutece” by Andre Soltner to the list. He cooks in the style of Alsace, in eastern France, and his recipes are full of eggs, cream, wild/game meats, some offal, and underappreciated produce like greengage plums, rhubarb, figs, sour cherries, etc. This was a seminal read in my progression as a cook; it is detail-oriented, yet accessible to the home cook, and really evokes a European sensibility to food. Unlike Jacques Pepin, he never bought into the “30-minute low-fat meal” that characterizes much of American home cooking today.

Hi Alisa,

If I were re-writing The Garden of Eating today (as opposed to 2003), I woud include more fat and more salt in the recipes too! I love good sea salt (Celtic or Redmond Real Salt). When Don and I wrote GOE we were following advice from Dr. Loren Cordain to keep salt low, so we cut back what we would have used. Over time I found I didn’t notice any benefit from less salt and more salt certainly improves flavor for my taste buds! Over time I’ve found more fat (good fat of course!) and less frequent use of starchy veggies gives me better appetite control and digestive health. :_) Thanks for commenting on the book!

Hi Tara

I have no idea why Amazon has a crazy price for my Garden of Eating book. I don’t know why they don’t buy it from the wholesaler that we have. I guess I need to set up an Amazon Advantage account. You can order it from my website: http://www.TheGardenOfEatingDiet.com. It’s only $34.95 plus tax!

Peggy @ Local Nourishment — The thing I loved most about Wild Fermentation is Katz’s adventurousness. Even if you don’t fall in love with the recipes, you can feel empowered and inspired to just create your own great recipe according to your tastes.

I love my “More with Less” also. It contains several recipes I have adapted that have become family favorites. We are using “Nourishing Traditions” in our homeschool nutrition, cooking and health class. I was very disappointed with “Wild Fermentation.” The recipes were interesting, but I only found three or four I want to try. And this is not a book to leave laying about where children might thumb through it.

It’s nice to see others using “More with Less”. I’ve had my copy since it first came out. It is very dog eared and stained. I considered buying a new copy several times, but I just can’t get myself to do it. Mine is full of notes!
It definitely is a cookbook everyone should own and give as a gift. I’ve given several myself to new brides over the years.

Great books! I already have Nourishing Traditions and Wild Fermentation, but just got my copy of Garden of Eating this week and have have not had time to peruse it. I met Chef Rachel on Twitter and we’ll be interviewing her this month. She has another great looking book about making frozen desserts from coconut milk! Yummy! Can’t wait to chat with her after tweets and email.
More with Less and Dinners in the Freezer look like something to keep my eye on. Right now I’m on a Julia Childs kick.
