Just Call Me Juice-Head!
I bought this book along with a juicer, because I figured I'd get tired of making the same old juice day after day.This book is great!Apple juice, Orange juice, even carrot juice - most of us get that.But this book provides some great combinations, and gives you ideas on how to create even more.Whenever I have fruit or vegetables that need to be used quick, I turn to this book and always find a recipe to use them.Definitely a must if you're a new juicer owner.

Juicin'
Product rec'd in good shape, however it took a long time to get it, nearly a month.
The book gives you lots of information, and I'm sure I will use it, but I don't think I am into juicing as much as I thought I would be.Am not sure I would select this seller as first choice if I were ordering again, just because it took so long to receive the product.Otherwise, they were fine.

One Step Closer to Fuller Nutrition
This book provides guidance and suggestions for anyone desiring to ingest more fresh juices. The most helpful segment is the recipe section that allows the reader to pick and choose what appeals to them, knowing that just the addition of a fresh juice each day contributes to a healthier stamina overall. The book presents a clever format and does not become preachy nor does it claim to be the answer for all juicing conserations. Just a sincere desire to share the joy of fresh produce in an easier-to-assimilate juice form and how to produce those delicious drinks.
No, it is not the end all reference for juicing but that is not its intent. It shares the joy of taking this step toward a healthier dietary regimen without surrendering the enjoyment of taste, ease of preparation and choice.

The chapters are as follows:
-Health Benefits of Juicing
-The Perfect Produce
-Selecting a Juicer
-Back to Basics
-Power Juices for Your Health
-Excitement in a Glass
-Shaken, but Not Stirred(for those who
desire alcoholic drinks)
-Garnishes with a Twist

The author shares their delight and enjoyment of creating tasty, healthier drinks for the reader while guiding them through some basic preparatory steps such as produce selection, selecting a juicer and recipe nutritional content.
Quick read, enjoyable, with some added fun recipes.

simple & easy
being new to the "juicing" world can be overwhelming, however, THIS book makes it a breeze!...a lot of healthy, delicious, simple and easy fruit, veggie then fruit AND veggie combos...i like the nutritional box at the end of each recipe showing the calories, calories from fat, total fats, etc...makes the entire "juicing" concept easy...

The Most Creative Recipes Yet!
"...when you eat a fresh carrot, many of the important nutrients become trapped in the fiber so that you only assimilate approximately 1 percent of the vegetable's available beta-carotene. But when you juice a carrot and remove the fiber, almost 100 percent of the beta-carotene is absorbable." ~ pg. 2

Since you can get a good juicer for around forty dollars, almost everyone can now afford to increase their health with fresh fruit and vegetable juices.

"Ultimate Juicing" is truly one of the most creative books on juicing I've yet to see in my short time looking for juicing books. While I occasionally borrow books from the library to see how good they might be, this is one I bought without reading it first. I'd recommend you buy this book as soon as humanly possible because it will take your juicing to new heights.

The two juices I've tried so far have been spectacular. The recipe called "First Mango on the Moon" (which I'm drinking as I type) is an icy delight. It combines the flavor of mango and pineapple with lime. Then it is blended in a blender with ice and mineral water. This would be perfect to make for summer parties. If you don't want to use the sugar the recipe calls for you can use one packet of stevia instead. I also didn't use an entire lime - more like a quarter of a lime. I love this recipe because mangoes and pineapple are usually sitting out on the counter and they taste better cold.

The second recipe I tried was the Apple and Tangerine juice. Since I wanted more tangerine flavor I used double the tangerines and one less apple. The author says to feel free to experiment, which is easier if you know which fruits and vegetables go together well. You may also want to try:

Like Ginseng in the Rain
The Lime of Your Life
The Age of Asparagus
Peaches in Seattle
Cool Hand Cuke

Another reason I love "Ultimate Juicing" is because it begins with a brief introduction to all the fruits and vegetables you will be using in the recipes. Here you will find out things like how broccoli is a good source of calcium and cabbage is an excellent source of vitamin C. The author didn't mention Braeburn apples but I'd highly recommend them. They juice especially well and are full of flavor unlike some of the other apple varieties I've tried.

The only issue I have with this book is the author's advice to put sugar into the fruit juices. Why ruin a good thing? When making the cranberry juice just add a packet of stevia. You won't be able to tell the difference between sugar and stevia, it is that good.

If you are looking for a juicer I can recommend: Black & Decker Juice Extractor. Other juicing books I've tried recently include: Juicing for Health and The Juice Lady's Juicing for High Level Wellness and Vibrant Good Looks. If I had to choose between the three I'd select Ultimate Juicing! I'm also about to try recipes from The Juicing Bible which looks incredible just after looking through it once.

Favorite Recipes of America by Mary Richards
I bought a set of these books in the early 1960's. They had a 'boxed' cover. I still have these books and I just love them. I probably use the Salad book the most. The 3 Bean salad recipe and ashredded carrot salad recipe are my favorites. If you are looking for a recipe 'like mom made', you will probably find it here.

just like new!!

Outstanding ... Healthy ... Full of flavour ... Easy recipes
This cookbook was a gift, and I've made over 50% of the recipes. The theme is "Eating for Great Taste and Good Health - Easy Recipes Abundant with Fruits and Vegetables", and that pretty well sums it up! I particularly recommend the Carrot-Butternut Soup with Fresh Coriander, the Papaya and Shrimp Thai Salad and the Hot Pepper Bouillabaisse. The cookbook is full of great hints on how to prepare and store a wide variety of fruit and vegetables. It is also very helpful in explaining which fruits and veggies are particularly good sources of various vitamins and nutrients. Even has a section for recipes that kids will love. I highly recommend this one! ... Read more
