    5.0 out of 5 stars Laurel's Kitchen Revisited
    Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    The original "Laurel's Kitchen" is a gold mine of great recipes, simple ingredients and user-friendly directions. BUT, the true treasure is the introduction and the journey the author undertakes, with the reader happily in tow.

    It starts with the simple phrase "keeper of the keys" referring to a position women held in previous years. Creating balanced and healthy meals, a full pantry and a harmonious home was considered a privilege, not an unpleasant chore. The art of providing colorful, fulfilling meals and a centered homelife that draws others into its warmth and harmony is presented as a highly valued undertaking in and of itself. Aside from the woman literally being "keeper of the keys" to the larder, a great amount of her time, skill and effort went into preparing and maintaining her household.

    We are inunndated by a fast-paced, fast-food, buy now and pay later world. This extends into what we choose to eat, or, more frequently, what foods choose us - we eat now and pay later. What "Laurel's Kitchen" does is weave our propensity for food with the concepts of a joyful and healthy life. There is a melding of food choices incorporated with a lifestyle that leaves a small footprint (before the word footprint was used). What? Is a cookbook offering such a change in lifestyle? Well, I have to say yes, it is. And it works.

    The recipes are delicious, easy to make with ingredients you can actually find that are affordable. Of course, there are certain favorites. I really enjoy the soups, muffins, breads and desserts; they smell wonderful, with lots of flavor and texture. A surpise section was the condiments, including salad dressings and yogurt. Very easy to make with simple ingredients; very economical when compared to ready-made. Another plus is the option to delete certain ingredients which may cause allergies - an easy solution.

    One recommendation I can make for this book is that I went to some trouble to find the "Keeper of the Keys" version. My home life feels more centered and harmonious, and people seem to gather in my kitchen when I take Laurel's "keeper" philosophy and make it foremost in my everyday life. When I make an effort to provide friends with a bit of respite from life's craziness, they can move on their next activity feeling a bit more relaxed, a bit more valued. With a tasty snack for later! They know they're important to me, and who doesn't need that! All from a little book that will touch your heart (and stomach) in a big big way ...

    5.0 out of 5 stars still the best cookbook ever
    Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    For "something borrowed" I wanted to pass onto my daughter my first cookbook, which sadly I had loaned to someone else and never received. Through Amazon I purchased a used edition of exactly the same vintage. It even felt like my old one. The bride cried and so did I. There's a reason this book remains much in demand. I fed my family from it for over a decade, and having memorized so many of the recipes, i thought I could lend the book out. Don't. Buy your own copy, keep it, share it. And one day, pass it on only to a family member.

    Reviewed in Canada on October 1, 2011

    Laurel's Kitchen introduced me and my growing family to vegetarian cooking in the late 70's early 80's. I loved the philosophy of the book and some of the recipes were family favorites. I lost my book many many years ago. I suddenly had a yearning for Chili Con Elote. I checked Amazon.ca to see if I could still buy one of my favorite cookbooks and I could! The service was great. I received a hand written note from the bookseller; a note which I know "Laurel" would approve of.
    Thanks for letting me relive some food memories!

    I first borrowed this book from the library and then spent many years trying to locate my own copy. Now I have finally managed to purchase a second copy for my daughter. This book can be used on many levels, as a guide to healthy vegetarian cooking,nutritional information, the story of a family cooking with love and or simply a recipe book. The only book I refer to on a regular basis.
