   The Clean Eating Cookbook and Diet, a recent Rockridge Press release, is nothing short of a pedantic recycling of common sense dieting touted as a freedom from food incarceration with its opening line of “Do you feel like your food controls you?”. It then goes on to show you how to shackle yourself to a new lifestyle of combing farmers’ markets to find fresh fruits and vegetables, only to rush home and spend time in the kitchen preparing your meals before the nutrients leech out of them, and hav The Clean Eating Cookbook and Diet, a recent Rockridge Press release, is nothing short of a pedantic recycling of common sense dieting touted as a freedom from food incarceration with its opening line of “Do you feel like your food controls you?”. It then goes on to show you how to shackle yourself to a new lifestyle of combing farmers’ markets to find fresh fruits and vegetables, only to rush home and spend time in the kitchen preparing your meals before the nutrients leech out of them, and have you drag around a cooler of said food so you never have to skip one of six meals a day. I wonder if the author, who intelligently (I hope) declined a byline, understands the reality of people who have to go to work on a bus, or already has to carry other items, like a tool box or a briefcase. Not to say that the information itself isn’t of value, but the entire book could have been reduced to the simple statement: If you want to be healthier, choose healthier foods and get some exercise, instead of the dry rendition of a high school research paper that tries to stretch word length and sound feasible without offering the meat of thorough research. Like many of the ilk of this sort, it shotguns information at the reader about how bad our diets are now, along with the obligatory recipe concoctions of the dietary elite, and wraps it up in a nice condescension of ‘shoulds’. My own ‘should’ is this: If someone is looking for a practical way of eating healthier that doesn’t require a complete life change, you should avoid this book. At least the grammar was Clean.

   La idea en general de Clean Eating es muy buena: Dejar de comer alimentos procesados y dañinos para nuestra salud, mientras que favorecemos alimentos naturales y lo más cercanos a su estado natural posible. Sin embargo, la parte del recetario me deja con sentimientos encontrados: muchos platos serían increíblemente costosos o imposibles de hacer debido a la disponibilidad de algunos ingredientes en mi región (México). No obstante, todavía quedan muchas cosas básicas que se pueden hacer de entre l La idea en general de Clean Eating es muy buena: Dejar de comer alimentos procesados y dañinos para nuestra salud, mientras que favorecemos alimentos naturales y lo más cercanos a su estado natural posible.

   This is one of my go to recipe books when I am not just throwing this into a pan. Eating healthy with whole foods is so important and this cookbook not only explains things in easy to understand language...you get good and yummy recipes as well. I have lots of food allergies and the recipes are easy to ADJUST which is a win win for me.

   Great intro book to the Clean Eating Plan. Recipes are simply with ingredients that most commonly have on hand.

   Good ideas I will try a few of these recipes over the next few weeks. The information about clean eating is helpful. It gives a good explanation of why and how to eat clean.

   Three strikes and you're out! This is the blandest cookbook ever. If I was more talented in the kitchen, I'd try and doctor the recipes, but there are far better "Clean Eating" ones out there. Bleah! I gave the book two stars, because someone out there is bound to like bland food. Three strikes and you're out! This is the blandest cookbook ever.
