Dr Pitcairns natural health.......2007-10-05
This is absolutely a must book. Giving dogs prescribed medications often involves side affects which shorten their lives. Being able to find out about natural products that can help them is great. It can not only lenghten their lives, but also cost less in the long run. I highly reccomend this book to all dog owners.
great resource.......2007-10-01
this is a great resource book. It has lots of background info on dog foods and so much info on great supplements. It could be made easier with breakdowns or charts to guide you for quicker reference, because I find myself having to flip back and forth a lot. There is definitely lots of info and it has to be read more than once. I think the recipes are sound and easy to make. Although I can't cook for my dogs all the time, at least I can do it whenever they are ill or recovering from some ailment or surgery to ensure that their bodies are strong when they need to heal. This book makes it manageable to do that.
A great resource.......2007-09-23
This book is a great resource for pet owners. I find the health-care section of the book very useful. I have modified the recipes to accomodate the inherited allery issues my dog has. Modifying the recipes is a very involved process as the substituion of products recommended and appropriate amounts required for balanced nutrition can be a hassle to figure out, especially, if one's pet was allergic to multiple products.
This is a great book for pet owners who want to try homemade cooking and alternative medicine for their pets.
Excellent overall but diet not suited for all .......2007-09-01
There is more than one way to feed a healthy, non-commercial diet. I recommend buying both Dr. Pitcairn's book and Andi Brown's book, The Whole Piet Diet, to see which diet your animal(s) prefer. I have three pets, two 13-yr. old cats and one 1 1/2-yr old terrier. The cats had been eating holistic Blue Buffalo dry food along with some canned Friskies. The terrier was eating holistic Blue Buffalo dry food along with some raw meat, veggies, yogurt, etc. I recently learned that dry food is difficult for pets to digest and is terribly drying and causes digestive problems like vomiting, dandruff, etc. The Friskies is just plain junk food so I decided that I was going to feed healthier fare and bought both books (Dr. Pitcairn wrote the foreword in Andi's book). While Dr. Pitcairn promotes primarily raw meats with cooked whole grains, Andi Brown promotes cooked stews (grains included for dogs only, not cats). After experimentation, I found that my dog and one cat prefer Dr. Pitcairn's recipes and my second cat prefers Spot's Stew (from Andi's book). When I made the switch, I only started feeding the recipes without supplements to the cats. It took 15 days for them to eat consistently, then I started adding the supplements in small amounts and gradually built up to the daily recommended amounts. Tip: my cats preferred Andi's supplements over Dr. Pitcairn's (especially the essential fatty acids in the form of oils). All of my pets are doing very well on the diets but only because I was persistent in finding what worked best for each pet. I will never feed dry food again!
It's a shame..........2007-08-29
...that an obviously experienced and well researched vetrinarian would recommend a diet that includes grain as one of the staples of the diet. Anyone who does even a minor amount of research about the special diet needs of a dog would easily find that dogs do not possess the proper enzymes to break down grain properly and can lead to either minor or serious allergic reactions. Dogs should not eat any type of grain at any time. Anyone who reads this book, do not take it as gospel. Please do more in-depth research before you make any solid decisions on your dogs diet.
Besides that fault, there are only a few recipies included in this rather long book. I heard very good things about this book before I bought it and was thoroughly disappointed after I read it. Its hard to give this book anything else but a negative review.

Customer Reviews:
GREAT BUY!.......2007-01-22
I have purchased several raw food "cook" books recently, as my family and I are transitioning to a raw diet. This is one of my very favorites. There is a HUGE variety of recipes and some great tips. I also love that there is a resource guide in the back of the book. This resource is a great asset, seeing as raw food is still so rare in the US. This book gives my family and I a great variety of wonderful new foods to try! I highly recommend this book for any beginning raw fooders.
I hate to say it but..........2006-10-29
This book has a number of errors on its recipes. Like a recipe for pesto that calls for a 1/4 cup of sea salt when there is no way any human could eat it that salty. Or How about a recipe for raw sausage that doesn't even mention a dehydrator, when we made it the final product was a dense liquid? Try forming that into a patty??! This is a book compiled of the recipes of a number of people. Each recipe has credits for the source. Some of the recipes are very good, and have even become staples around my house. Some seem as if they came off the top of someones head and never were even tried. It is very frustrating to go out and buy groceries for a special recipe only to find them all wasted because the recipe doesn't even work. I mean not even close. This is a small percentage of the recipes in this book, but it still sucks. If you are on a raw food diet, it's not like you can just say "oh well" and head out for pizza! Send a message and buy a more researched and reliable book.
50 Recipes, One Month.......2006-01-26
I prepared and ate food from this book only for one month and was for the most part satisfied. Some of the 50 recipes I tried were redundant and others ranged from inedible to fantastic. I didn't become emaciated, lost maybe 6 pounds which is fine, because I'm a little overweight. I also wasn't hungry and my cravings for cooked food minimal. This experiment has certainly led me to incorporate more raw foods into my diet. Anything that calls for honey can easily be substituted with agave nectar. You don't need to have all the top-notch equipment listed, I used a cheap food processor, ordinary blender and a used Ronco dehydrator I got for free. Admittedly, most of this is very labour intensive.
Karyn's Tomato and Pea Salad (63)- Crunch, light and good. I would use less Bragg's.
Lentil Salad (63)- Pretty good.
Quinoa Tabouli (68)- Great in small quantities because the flavour is so potent.
I Can't Believe It's Not Waldorf Salad (79)- Quite good, but not spectacular.
Butternut Squash Soup (95)- Pretty good, but bland. I used ½ the amount of water for desired consistency.
Carrot/Orange/Pumpkin Soup (95)- Good, I used fresh onion and garlic instead of powdered. The recipe didn't include a liquid, so I added two cups of water.
Ants in a Canoe (110)- Almost as good as Ants on a Log.
Ants on a Log (110)- A person could easily live off of this!
Mesquite Melts (124)- Absolutely terrible. The texture is very unpleasant.
Spring Rolls (131)- Good, can be almost anything wrapped in anything.
Corn Torillas (169)- very good, they've got some kick. Nothing like tortillas though.
Jameth and Kim's Original Flax Crackers (168)- Good, easy and flexible.
Sweet Golden Crackers (176)- Not so good, but edible.
Barbecue Chips (177)-Okay, just don't add too much cayenne and skip the beat.
Almond Milk (182)-Tied with hazelnut for the best milk I ever had.
Almost, Hazel, or Sunflower Milk (184)- Can be done with pretty much any nut or seed. I used soy and added maple syrup and vanilla. Strain it in a cheesecloth.
Quickest Tahini Milk (186)- So, so terrible.
Banana Bites (193)- Good, but no very exciting.
Granola/Grawnola (194)- Made a combination of these two recipes and it is wonderful, takes a long time though, so make a lot.
Spiced Strawberry Granola Crunch (197)- Very tasty, would be better with less allspice because it's pretty overpowering.
Viktoras' Secret Raw Horamola (198)- Terribly bland.
Italian Rawsage (202)- Very very filling and pretty good.
Italian Style Zucchini Pasta Pesto (202)- NEVER put 1/4 cup of salt, I put 1/8 and it was still not edible.
Mock Spaghetti (205)- Okay, but boring.
Avocado Burritos (208)- Very boring and way too many tomatoes.
Chinese Wild Rice with Tender Vegetables (217)- Good but I would use less ginger.
Chow Mein Memory (218)- Wonderful! I would add more tamari.
Curried Kofka Ball in Cashew Tomatoes Curry Sauce (219)- One of the best recipes in the book, especially the sauce. I upped the spices a lot.
Easy Sushi (221)- Fast, easy, good and flexible.
Roast Tofu with Satay Sauce (223)- Good and simple. Don't overhydrate mushrooms. I added ½ can of coconut milk, some garlic and some chile pepper to the sauce.
Falafels (220)-SUPER! Just as good or better than traditional falafels.
Live Gardenburgers (232)- Delicious. Next time I will add garlic.
Neat Balls (234)-Really good, but again, better with garlic.
Pecan Almond Stuffed Mushrooms (237)- Pretty Bland so spice at will. Cut pate recipe in half or you will run out of mushrooms.
Spinach and Potato Latkes (241)- Just awful. I like spinach, but this has a fishy taste.
Sun Garden Burgers (242)- Really good, mild flavour. Easy and fast, makes 14 large patties.
Thai Crane's Nest in Coconut Curry (244)-Tastes pretty ok, but I was unable to form nests because they fell apart.
What's for Dinner Loaf (247)- Very good! I made them into patties and dehydrated until crisp on the outside.
Carrot and Tomato Spread (250)- Okay, but bland.
Miso Mayo (254)- Good, but a very strong miso flavour.
White Sauce/ Salad Dressing (270)- Not more than ok.
Guacamole (274)- Pretty great.
Pine Nut Sour Cream (276)- Good Base for any dip.
Ranch Dip or Dressing (276)- Easy, fast and super yummy.
Raw Hummus (277)-Pretty good, not spectacular.
Salsa Fresca (278)- Good and fresh tasting.
Tahitian Almond Dipping Sauce (278)- Really, really wonderful.
Raw Candy (295)- Good, but not at all like chocolate as the book would suggest.
Whip the Mister (327)- Yum! Mix with 50% frozen almond milk.
Nancy.......2005-12-09
I loved this book!!!! The recipes are exciting and different from the other raw books I have and I look forward to trying them out.
I like the fact that you get a variety of recipes from a variety of 'chefs' and that they range from simple to gourmet.
This book is a must for the raw-foodist's collection of 'uncook' books.
Only if you don't have access to the internet.......2005-09-19
This book was actually the worst and the best that I've gotten so far. It's divided into three sections. The first is a sort of guide to raw. I really liked this section because it had an in depth explanation of how to sprout things. There was also a good dehydration chart and a wonderful explanation of the various appliances needed. I didn't like the juicing overkill...but that's personal. That said, all of this info can be found on the web. The second part is full of recipes. They are, for the most part, awful. The ingredient lists are a mile long and the prep and lead times are beyond hellish. The last part wasn't needed. Anyone with access to the internet could find this info.

Product Description
"FOOD AND LIFE! What does food really do in the human body? What relationship does it have to life, health, and disease? And how can it be of influence in the cure of biological disorders? These are questions about which one must have a fundamental and profound understanding before one can fully appreciate the role that diet plays in the maintenance of living processes, the prevention of diseases, the restoration of health, and the prolongation of life! In order to bring about such complete appreciation, it becomes necessary to consider a bit the life process of an individual cell. The body as you well know, every organ, tissue, every part is composed of cells arranged according to a biologically-organized plan. Each cell operates singly, however, in its relationship with other cells it is but a cooperating....." [from foreword]
Book Description
With over 800 full-color photographs, this is the most comprehensive and visually exciting book yet produced on an increasingly popular subject. It has a clear and up-to-date A-Z photographic guide to over 200 field mushrooms with invaluable images of the growing mushrooms for more accurate identification. The second half of the book presents a wonderful collection of over 100 delicious recipes for mushrooms from the store or from the field, fresh or dried.
Customer Reviews:
Detailed Detailed Detailed!!.......2005-11-27
For someone who knew nothing about mushrooms, this book provided a wealth of information on how to find them, how to cook them, how to identify them, and which ones to stay away from due to their poisinus properties. If you want to learn about mushrooms, this is the book to get. The color photos made it real easy to see which ones they were talking about at any given time.

Book Description
The collection of the Gold Museum of the Banco de la República de Colombia—one of the most impressive gold collections in the world—is explored in this anthropological commemoration of the goldwork mastery of indigenous peoples. An essential part of the pre-Colombian world, gold was considered by natives to be a sacred element and was used by artisans to create offerings presented by Shamans to the Gods as both prayerful sacrifices and symbols of gratitude.
La colección del Museo del Oro del Banco de la República de Colombia—una de las colecciones de oro más importantes del mundo—está explorada en esta conmemoración antropológica de la maestría indígena para dominar las artes de la orfebrería. Una parte esencial del mundo precolombino, el oro era considerado un elemento sagrado y se usaba para crear las ofrendas ritualistas que el chamán presentaría a los dioses con miras a halagarlos y atraer sus favores.

Excellent Beginning Patterns.......2001-12-04
This book is an excellent beginner scroll saw pattern book. It's 224 pages are packed with various patterns and ideas for the beginner. The patterns are not complex, but they are very attractive for being so simple. Most have a few inside cuts add some defination to the project. The Spielman's also take a simple penguin design, and show various ways to "alter" the pattern to creat a totally diffent looking design, and the user is fully accomplied with both words and pictures.
This is my 12 year olds favorite book. He took it to school one day, and came home with over 30 different 'orders' from his friends, from cats to coyotes to ducks to hanging mobiles, this book has given him the confidence in scroll sawing. The kids are now picking out their 'birthday' presents that they want my son to make for them, and he has the confidence with this book to do it and be successful.
A must for any scroll sawyer's library of books and patterns.
My first scroll saw book.......2000-10-01
This was my first scroll saw book and it has a wide array of patterns for a beginner. I made some smaller basic animals, elephant, camel, etc., a wolf and a cactus that stands upright. A good starter for a beginner.

Don't buy it.......2006-12-01
I bought this book thinking that it would help me learn more on the subject. It just didn,t. It lacks of color ilustrations or pics of any type. Just a few ilustrations at the begining. Don't waste your money in this item!
A Helpful Friend.......2002-02-09
Not being very crafty,I'm afraid, when I decided to redecorate my house, this book was recommended to my by a friend.
To my surprise, the book gave lots of well explained ideas. I went from room to room, changing this wall here, this corner there, and new lights everywhere.
My house looks better than ever.
I am thankful to the authors, for sharing their ideas and talent with readers like me.
What Goes With What. makes Home Decorating Easy!.......2002-02-09

I consider What Goes With What an essential manual in my Home Decorating Library! Thank you for your advice, help and creativity! What Goes With What has helped me take my creativity to the next level! I recommend it to all home decorators interested in sparking flames of creativity!
Helpful Hints.......2002-02-09
I highly recommend this book. It provides expert advice on home decorating presented in a very readable manner. The book is both useful and insightful. It can help you identify and enhance your decorating style.
Not bad but there are better books around.......2001-11-30
This book gives me some good information but nothing new------and not as much information as some other decorating books. I'd give this a C+. It's a surprisingly small volume (120-some pages). My favorite book is still The New Decorating Book, because it covers absolutely everything and has hundreds of color photos in its 400 or so pages. Very comprehensive but great to look at also. I learned about the New Decorating Book from a neighbor whose daughter was using it as an interior design textbook in a local junior college.
