 Summer Cooler April 27, 2009

As I type I'm drinking "Summer Cooler" a recipe that consists of orange, lime and peach. It is refreshing and easy to make. If you can't find peaches at certain times of the year you can also just use a can of peaches as I did.
While some books I've read recently get a bit overly ambitious (the use of herbs and hard-to-find ingredients) this book is perfect for anyone who just wants straight fruit and vegetable juices. There is a chapter on ailments but it is not overly complex and just gives information on which juice recipes work best for which ailment.
Some of the ailments include acne, anxiety, colds, digestion problems, flu, headaches, fatigue, insomnia, muscle cramping, sunburn, weakened immune system, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and osteoporosis.
There is an interesting section on growing your own wheatgrass and a chapter on why fruits and vegetables are so good for you. Since I love using lemons in juice blends I was please to read that lemons are a rich source of bioflavonoids and that they help the body to detoxify.
Some of the recipes include:
Apricot Ambrosia - apricots, grapes and pears
The Key Wester - grapefruit, pineapple, apple and lime
Pacific Prize - carrots, cauliflower and bok choy
Zippy Spring Tonic - pineapple, radishes and dandelion greens
Most of the recipes contain two to five ingredients at the most. Most of the ingredients are available at your local grocery store. I noticed that in almost every recipes there are carrots so your skin and hair will look terrific after drinking these juices.
Jay Kordich says he drinks four glasses of vegetable juice and two glasses of fruit juice per day. This must mean his grocery bill is rather high. While juicing is fun it is also fairly expensive. Don't be surprised if your grocery bill is much higher than it was when you didn't juice. It is worth the price and you will feel much healthier - not to mention you will have fewer doctors' bills in the future.

Good book on juicing but I found "Juicing For Life" to be much better.

I have had the book for a little over 30 days. I have been on a juice feast for 28 days so far. I used it in addition to other books to assist me in recipes. It is a great addition to add to your juice recipe library. It's cheap. It has some great recipes that may be used time and time again. He has a small section on some of the benefits of the fruits and vegetables, as well as the benefits of the vitamins. The recipes are fairly simple usually about 4 ingredients or less, and has many easy to find ingredients. Some are under our noses in the grocery store but we may never pay attention to them. There are more tasty drinks than not. (this is a plus, because I have had some awful drinks before). For individuals who follow food combining charts, this books does not try to combine fruits and veggies that have no right being paired together. He does not add a bunch of additional things to the majority of his recipes (for example soy milk, nut milk, mineral water, spices, seasoning and herbs.) I believe I saw about three recipes that had something extra such as mineral water and dry non fat milk.
Some recipes are common and no brainers that you may have thought of your self like juicing pineapple by itself or grapefruit by itself. There are a few recipes that are extremely similar for example he has one drink which is -two apples and one pear- and then another recipe which is -two apples, one pear, and 1 knob ginger-. He could have put that on the same page and said optional or something of the sorts. He list the tomato under vegetable but states most people regard it as a vegetable even though it's a fruit (which is fine) but he fails to realize that cucumbers are a fruit and doesn't cite the same information. It is not easy to find certain juice recipes you may have liked soley by the ingredients, it is best to put a post-it note to save the page.
I suggest that everyone reads some of the information in the back about certain veggies and fruits to ensure you do not drink certain things in excess or solo. I use to be a raw vegan (now just a vegan) and I was aware that beets by itself will paralyze the vocal chord, it is in the book but in the back. I am sure some may not be aware of certain information or even know what a daikon or fennel is, so read and research to ensure you are not suprised.
If you do a juice feast or a juice fast do not rely on just this book. If you just need some recipes to juice but maybe not so serious about juicing as much, then this will do. After juicing some time, you will be able to add or reduce certain fruits or vegetables to satisfy your taste buds.
 Wonderful Recipes October 14, 2007

I have purchased many books on juicing. Most of them have strange ingredients in the recipe or hard to find ingredients. Not this book. The author gives some very simple and yet wonderful recipes that I use on a daily basis. I live in a small rual town so it isn't practical to have a jucing book that requires hard to find ingredients. I can find all the ingredients that the author has listed in this book. If someone asked me to recommend a book on juicing, I would recommend this one as their first choice. It is not only good for the beginner but also the more experienced juicer. Happy Juicing! Thanks Jay for such a great and yet simple book.
