Reviews Inside the Book
"What I love about Margaret Wittenberg's New Good Food is that its a great
read, as well as a great resource! Her in-depth experience in the world of
natural foods gives her the credibility to share her knowledge of every
imaginable ingredient including how it is processed and the nutritional
values. This book is an outstanding tool for any home cook or chef with an
interest in making healthy food."
— Nell Newman, Co-founder & President of Newman's Own Organics
"At last we have Margaret Wittenberg to answer our most basic questions about
any food we see: what is it and what do I do with it. New Good Food is an
extraordinarily comprehensive guide to foods, ingredients, and their
handling. Sophisticated cooks as well as beginners will be grateful to have
this indispensable book at hand."
— Marion Nestle, professor of nutrition, food studies, and public health at
New York University, and author of What to Eat.
"Margaret Wittenberg has been at the leading edge as a key player of the
healthy eating movement in this country since it hovered at the fringe of
public awareness. I can't think of anyone I would trust more to write this
book, and it's a book that needed to be written. (Just the chapter on
sustainable seafood alone is worth the price of admission.) New Good Food
will likely become a cornerstone of every good cook's library, as well a
food literacy text for beginners."
— Mollie Katzen, author of the Moosewood Cookbook
"From amaranth to olive oil, quinoa to wakame and wild rice (and everything
in between) New Good Food is the Larousse Gastronomique of natural foods —
ingredients, insight, and inspiration in one definitive volume."
— Heidi Swanson, author of Super Natural Cooking
"I've known her for nearly three decades, and Margaret Wittenberg continues to surprise and delight me with fascinating facts about the food I eat. New Good Food builds upon Margaret's earlier book by updating nutritional information and providing an unbiased overview of the most important food safety, scarcity, and animal compassionate issues in our modern food supply. Margaret supplies new and seasoned cooks with sufficient guidance for a lifetime of preparing and eating tasty, nutritious whole foods snacks and meals. Anyone concerned with healthy eating and consciousness about our food supply will want this important resource in their kitchen."
— John Mackey, Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer of Whole Foods Market, Inc.
