Best local cookbook?

Postby ecofilly on Fri Apr 06, 2012 10:48 am

I have the Rebar cookbook, and the Saanich Organics publication, but wondered if you can recommend any whole food, raw food, local (locovore/100mile diet style), seasonal and/or real food cookbook that has minimal to no refined ingredients?

I know there are loads online but I'd like an easy collection...

I'll be investigating the following already but any reviews on them is helpful too!
Nourishing Traditions
Hollyhock
Eat clean (though I will continue to eat saturated fat -hello butter!)
Winter Harvest
Ani Phyo's books
Thrive cookbook
Planet Organic and Whole Foods books
Michael Smith

Thanks!!

The owner of Cafe Bliss, Heather Cunliffe, just printed a cookbook. Its a great book with raw food receipes. It has receipes for everything from salads, soups, crackers, pizza, and mylk to dessert receipes which are all wheat free, dairy free and raw. I cant rave enough about it. I picked mine up at the restaurant.

M has a cookbook addiction, especially garden to plate and local. I'll ask her if she'll write you a list of her favourites.
