I like most things green if they apply to me. This book was fun - some of the same stuff, and some of it new, but fun all the same. I have both her books.

This book is very helpful even if you are not ready to go completely green. There are 3 different levels depending on the time, money, and energy you have to dedicate to it. There are even shopping list that are already written out in the book for each level. So no matter where you are in your commitment to going green there will be a plan that will work for you. Every little bit helps, as Sophie Uliano points out. There are also many resources on where to find the different foods that you may have trouble getting. Mostly though everything is reasonable easy to get. There are many websites that she also list, many of which have a store locator on them. Plus she includes many wonderful recipes that are not too time consuming to make. I highly recomend this book to even those of you who are just wanting to test out the waters of going green.

Vegetables include: artichokes, arugula, asparagus, beans (green), broccoli, broccoli rabe, Brussels sprouts, cabbage (Chinese), cabbage (green), celery, chayote squash, cucumbers, endive, greens (leafy), leeks, lettuce, okra, onions (green), peas (green or English, now sugar snap), peppers (green), spinach, watercress, and zucchini.

I love the idea of different shades of green for eating plans and diets, let alone the idea that being green is saving money and the planet. the shopping lists and ideas for getting your kitchen in shape are eye opening. I went straight to the recipes and found that they seem easy to follow and are not as frightening to cook as your average cook book. The book is also very engaging and easy to read, not preachy about green or anything like that. this book is full of info. from shopping, to fitness and the eating plans and lists. much more than I expected and it is easy to read. pretty happy with this one so far.
