Product Description
Organic food is synonymous with premium quality, the deepest, richest taste, conscientious farming, and optimum health. It’s what we need to feed our kids, what we deserve to feed ourselves. And no one is doing more to popularize organic food that Myra Goodman, a mother, a creative cook, and most significantly, co-owner of Earthbound Farm, the world’s largest grower and purveyor of organic produce.

In Food to Live By, a dazzling full-color cookbook, Myra Goodman offers an utterly appealing, new casual style of cooking based on using the best ingredients, organic or otherwise. The dishes are irresistible: Sweet Corn Chowder. Spinach, Feta and Mushroom Quiche. Foggy Day Chili. Merlot-Braised Short Ribs with Cipollini Onions. Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps. Ginger Lime Salmon. Grilled Pork Tenderloin with Spiced Orange Sauce. Blue Cheese Smashed Potatoes. Coconut Lemongrass Sorbet. Cherry Panna Cotta. Farm Stand Carrot Cake. Plus, throughout are Farm-Fresh Ingredient boxes—on sorrel, corn, asparagus, artichokes— cooking and shopping tips, and health notes.

Before Myra and her husband, Drew, founded Earthbound Farm, they tended a small organic raspberry patch in Carmel, California—and Myra baked (and sold) amazing Raspberry Corn Muffins, plus jams, and more. Then Earthbound grew to offer organic lettuce mixes to local restaurants, and eventually the rest of the country. When The Organic Kitchen at Earthbound Farm opened, it was yet another venue for Myra, and the café’s chefs, to share delicious recipes and ideas. Now Food to Live By brings this organic revolution to everyone who cares about what they eat.

5 out of 5 stars Organic Foods   October 5, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The author extols the virtues of organic produce. In addition, the book is critical of toxic pesticides, conservation through elimination of toxic pesticides and and avoidance of synthetic fertilizers. A sample crop rotation regimen is depicted.

Organic food preparation is discussed in detail. i.e.
o raspberry scones
o summer harvest soup
o sweet corn chowder
o ginger carrot soup
o iced ginger melon soup and many others

This is an excellent work for organic food enthusiasts.



5 out of 5 stars So many different options!   July 31, 2008
Bought this as a gift for someone and everything she has made from it, has been great. Thus far, up to 5 different recipes. They're all different and she has shared them w/me and they are really incredible! Not just for those wanting organice food.


4 out of 5 stars a cookbook for those of us looking to add more natural foods to our diets   July 19, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This cookbook wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. The recipes use a combination of farm stand and store-bought ingredients, some of which are a little more exotic than what my local grocery store may carry. My biggest caveat is that the recipes have no nutritional information listed and when you are dealing with something as luscious sounding as Raspberry Cream Scones, it would be easy to overindulge.


5 out of 5 stars Fabulous!   July 7, 2008

I absolutely love this cookbook. I have already made several things and everyone has raved about the meals. Easy to follow, lots of fresh vegetables and produce are used making it very healthy also. I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone, it would make a terrific shower or birthday gift for someone who loves to cook.


5 out of 5 stars Outstanding, delicious recipes!   May 9, 2008

I love every recipe I've tried in this book, and all of them are easy to follow, fun to make, and taste excellent. These recipes and all of the tips throughout the book have made cooking much more enjoyable for me, and they always come out great.

I stayed away from the meat recipes at first (I only occasionally eat a little meat nowadays), but I have found that some can be made without meat and are excellent! For example, the lamb curry with saffron couscous tastes amazing with no meat at all. The flavors of the indian curry spice mixture in this recipe is the best I've ever tasted anywhere and is perfect for veggies with either basmati rice or the couscous.

The salad dressings are also amazing. I had never tried a salad dressing with roasted walnut or hazelnut oils before, and it's so wonderful and brings out the flavors in a salad. They're so simple to make, I never buy the bottled kind at the grocery store at all anymore, and it tastes so much better and fresher when it's homemade.

There are lots of healthy, nutritious and at the same time delicious recipes, just real and delicious whole food with a ton of variety. The cookies recipes are great too!
