 Splendicious juices!!! August 29, 2000
46 out of 47 found this review helpful
Not only do the juice recipes in this book taste absolutely fabulous... but the author has also come up with some highly entertaining titles and blurbs to keep you entertained as you prepare the delicious beverages. This book has been a godsend for me -- my kids will actually "eat" their fruits and vegetables now because they taste so good!!!

I was looking for a Juicing BOOK With a lot more Info and
detail; this was not it.
This little paper back fell way short of what I was looking for.
Was not worth the money.
 For People Who Want to Have a Little Fun With Juicing September 11, 2007

Depending upon what you're looking for, this book will either disappoint or thrill you. In my opinion, it's one step above your normal juicing books, not in the sense that it's better than other books, just that it's not what you'd typically find in something similar.
The book includes your normal, basic juicing recipes, as well as a plethora of other cocktails. The author actually has a section of alcoholic juice combinations, as well as a section on how to make pretty garnishes for your drinks.
One thing I liked about this book is that for each juice, the author includes a little nutrition fact-type label listing all of the minerals that the juice provides.
There were some good recipes, but, most of the book, to me, was superfluous. I thought the book was really cutely done and I loved the cleverly named juices. And while the section on alcoholic cocktails and garnishes was a unique addition to a book on juicing, I had no use for it. Also, there were no pictures to accompany the garnish instructions to show the reader what the end result should look like. I believe it would've been extremely helpful to see what the garnishes looked like when done properly.
There was also a "power boost" section which incorporated several supplements (gingko, vit.C powder, etc.) into the juicing recipes. More than anything, I found this part more annoying than anything else. It was completely unnecessary to devote an entire portion of the book to "power boost" recipes. It would have just been enough to simply include a small note instructing the reader that if they wanted an extra kick they could merely include a dose of whichever "power booster" they desired.
One part of the book that I did appreciate was the section in the beginning which instructed the readers on how to, not only, pick out produce properly, but also how to juice it properly (like how to cut it up, if the produce needs to be peeled, etc.)
This book is definitely not your typical juicing book. While it didn't have what I was looking for, I appreciate the different spin the author put on what can be both a boring and daunting subject (for beginners). I think that her approach can open the door for many potential juicers where other, more traditional books, can close it.

I'm new to juicing; I bought a juicer first, because it tastes good and second, because it's probably somewhat good for me. I was hard pressed to find a juicing book that didn't preach about how juicing can save the world etc. And once you get past the corny names, this book did a pretty decent job of providing a novice with some exploration ideas if I start to get adventurous. I like that she didn't shy away from suggesting adding sugar to some drinks, it showed me that, like me, she was in it for taste first and health second.
