What impresses me most about this book is that the authors have been able to come up with a tremendous variety of ways to prepare the various types of greens without becoming repetitious or including any horrors. I created a kale dish from this book that became a newfound family favourite to my European parents--something I figure to be just short of a miracle, given a North American cookbook. The recipes are well thought out in terms of flavour and texture, and the vast majority have been planned out to taste perfect without meat, milk, cheese or eggs--a bonus for anyone that has to cook for both themselves and someone on any sort of special diet at the same time (and doesn't want to suffer). Even for the jaded cook, this book will provide tasty, natural, new ideas on what to do with a wide range of greens. I've been buying copies and handing them out like some sort of missionary. A great, unique book.
