Danielle, I think the campaign was a great idea. There is no reason why books shouldn’t be more environmentally friendly. As for the recipes, you’re right, they aren’t very practical. I do look forward to trying some of the sorbets come summer though.

Kathleen, they aren’t complicated recipes at all, there is just quite a bit of preparation involved in many of them.

Litlove, I’ll take a look and see if I can’t find one or two recipes you might like that don’t require the grinding of nuts.

Jodie, I suppose if you have an industrial strength food process grinding all those nuts into flour wouldn’t be a big deal, but we just don’t have the equipment at my house.

Grad, LOL, I totally know what you mean though.

Charlotte, I know I love the way the house smells when my husband is cooking. I think smell is a big part of enjoying food. The raw food folks believe it is more nutritious and healthful and that cooked food contains toxins, at least that’s my understanding.

Iliana, I know what you mean. Even though the recipes are easy the ease of preparation is not there. I’ll be sure to mention if/when I try any of the sorbets.
