The recepies are pretty O.K. I just think that some of them are to time consuming.
All in one, the price is to high for what you get.

I am not one to follow recipes, however, I am swimming in uncharted waters these days and so, with this cookbook, for the first time in my life, I am following the recipes item for item, measurement for measurement AND everything I’ve made tastes awesome AND my kids eat it AND it is healthy. This book makes the dietary approach to fighting cancer much more enjoyable than I ever imagined it would be.

I’ve done some research on what to eat if you want to avoid cancer or have cancer and question some of the ingredients in this book (e.g., canola oil??). Obviously, we all have our opinions on that.
Curious as to when this book was published, I learned the first copyright date was 1970?! That may explain alot. I figured the book probably needs updating given the 39 yr gap, but then I noticed the most recent copyright date of 2008?! Does that pertain to pictures??
I also agree that some the of the receipes were not earth shattering.
On the hunt again for a substitute … not worth (+$$) returning the book at this point.

This is a clever book that educates you on foods that are helpful for cancer prevention while giving you recipes that are delicious at the same time. I think this author’s use of spices is unusual and I have been able to take her combinations of spices and apply them to new recipes of my own. This book would make a wonderful gift for anyone.

Dr. Julia Greer’s Anti-Cancer Cookbook is filled with new, great recipes. My husband loved the salads, new dressings (at last) and of course, the desserts! With these new healthy recipes I plan to keep him longer! Nancy F.B.
