Review

Just arrived in our inventory and hot off the press is the new Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook. This long awaited book by the Sproutman, Steve Meyerowitz, is a superb guide to preparing super healthy vegetarian and "live food" meals.

Included are chapters like Making Sprout Breads. Sprout bread has no flour. The germinated wheat is ground into a dough and then slow-baked or dehydrated. Sprouted wheat bread has 3 times the bran and vitamins of the finest whole wheat bread and is perhaps the only source of wheat germ in the "live" state. Sproutman provides 40 pages of recipes and information on the making of sprout breads, crackers, cookies, bagels and yes...even sprout pizza. It is the only source of this information we know.

There is a very thorough chapter on dehydrating foods including recipes such as zucchini chips and sunflower sun-cheeze. A chapter on the pros and cons of dairy. Non-dairy recipes such as cashew yoghurt, almond milk and vanilla iced cream. Charts on Nutrition, sprouting & food drying. Low fat/low salt diet. A glossary of health foods and great recipes such as rejuvelac non-alcoholic wine, natural sodas & snacks. Many tidbits such as "the Sprout Oath," "the Marx Bros. Meet Sproutman," and "Ode to a Banana" make this a fun to read book that is also loaded with practical information. -- New Life Magazine, August 1994

Steve was pronounced "Sproutman" by Vegetarian Times Magazine in a 1979 feature article that explored the why's and wherefores of his 100% sprout diet. While over 2 decades time, most diets change, Steve is still a big "believer" in healthy diet and lifestyle.

Steve got interested in natural foods after a 20 year effort to correct chronic allergies and asthma with conventional medicine. He made dramatic changes in his diet and within two months of eating a strict "living foods," vegetarian diet, his lifelong symptoms vanished. He continued to practice a 100% raw foods diet (nothing cooked, packaged, canned, frozen, or processed) for five years. During that time, he also experimented with other extreme diets such as fruitarianism (just fruit), juice fasting for as long as 100 days, and briefly, breatharianism (no food, no water).

Steve's innovative kitchen gardening techniques and the cuisine he developed from them, gave rise to a "School for Sprouts." He began teaching indoor gardening 12 stories above the streets of New York City. He called his no-cooking school, The Sprout House, since so much of his cuisine included vegetables from his kitchen garden-sprouts. Steve invented two home sprouters, The Flax Sprout Bag and a tabletop greenhouse called, Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Salad Grower. He also supplied his growing kits and a full line of organic sprouting seeds via mail order.

Steve has since sold the mail order business and he and his family now breathe fresher air in the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. Much of the information from his teaching years have been related in his books. He has the most popular books on sprouts, including Sprouts the Miracle Food, Sproutman's Kitchen Garden Cookbook, and Wheatgrass Nature's Finest Medicine, to name a few. But he also has other books on subjects such as fasting and raw juice therapy.

Steve has been featured on PBS, the Home Shopping Network, TV Food Network, and in Prevention, Better Nutrition, and Organic Gardening magazines. In 3 minutes on QVC, 953 people ordered his Cookbook and Kitchen Garden Salad Grower. You can visit him at http://www.Sproutman.com/

    5.0 out of 5 stars FINALLY: A Book That Answers Why and How To Create Sprouted Grains Flour & Much Much More
    Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Because of metabolic liver, kidney and cardiovascular issues, I follow the dietary guidelines of Dr. John McDougall MD, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn MD, Dr. Joel Furman MD, Dr. Collin Campbell, and a host of other MDs and Chefs who have demonstrated reversing Hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes, Hyperlipidemia, Cardiovascular Arteriosclerosis & Atherosclerosis and NonAlcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) which is a direct result from using statins over two decades.

    That said, our family follows a Whole Foods (nothing processed or from restaurants) Plant Based Lifestyle Diet. Which means we make our own flour and pasta, sauces and condiments. Aside from my family, because of the metabolic issues I also follow a bit more restrictive diet of no Sugar, Oil or Salt (SOS) and no avocados, nuts, seeds or coconut milk. And yes no flour which is considered an isolated contracted nutrient just like all vegetable oils which are extremely calorie dense. But for my family, I want the best. They love the Ezekiel 4:9 Breads (English Muffins) that are maid with grains and legumes that do not have the glucose spike after consumption. So learning how to sprout beans and grains and dehydrating them after sprouting and throwing them into a flour mill like the NutriMill or WonderMill is a totally new procedure for us.

    I have purchased several flour books, and bread books, but still have not found the complete process, plus we want to understand sprouting beyond bread flour. Steve Meyerowitz's book FINALLY addresses the whole process of knowledge, the why, the how, and the finished product recipe. Steve is a very good writer, and the logic he uses to explain things is exactly how I like to learn. I strongly recommend this book for anyone who is going unprocessed, and pursuing a Whole Foods Plant Based Diet with now Dairy, or SOS.

    I have been looking for a way to get sprouts in my diet. I hate bland food. Not a big fan of salads. I want tasty gourmet kind of food. He has sprout ice cream. Sprout snacks. The recipes are easy to follow and so far the taste has been excellent. He does a great job of explaining how things work and how to add healthy food to one's diet. One of my favorite books.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly Good Information.
    Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 2010
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I purchased the Kindle version of this book last night and read it through in its entirety - 'cover' to 'cover.' I was actually in tears at points when I learned just how easy it is to convert sprouted grains into wholesome varieties of long time favorite baked goods! I have been following The Maker's Diet since the beginning of the year and have been sprouting and using grains since then. I admit that my use was limited because I lacked the knowledge of how to use them in a variety of applications - though I did attempt (and had a fairly decent result) making a loaf of bread with sprouted wheat berries.
    Given the time that it takes to sprout grains, I have obviously not had the chance to try out any of these recipes since purchasing the book last night. However, even with my limited experience with sprouts, I can be sure that they will be great. I really appreciate the effort that Mr. Meyerowitz put into this book.

    I gave it a rating of 4 stars as opposed to 5 due to the heavy focus on vegetarian and vegan diets and its advocacy of soy. With as much evidence that vegetarian diets are beneficial, there is an equal or greater body of evidence that grass fed and finished beef, free range chicken, and grass fed, raw Jersey milk is essential to good health. Unfortunately, 95% of the meat that Americans consume is not grass fed or humanely raised. I recommend doing some research on the hazards of soy that has not been fermented. Soy is not the health food that it has been touted as. While fermented soy products (miso, tempeh, natto) can be beneficial to good health, soy and its various extracts (soybean oil, lecithin, isolated soy protein) are not.

    No matter what your personal bias is - omnivorous or vegetarian - you will find this book beneficial in your quest for healthier living. I am looking forward to my grass fed burger served on my first sprouted grain roll (I might go for rye for the first one!) on a bed of broccoli sprouts!

The author really makes a balanced case for all of his health tips and provides fun, witty anecdotes, silly drawings and really good recipes! It's about so much more than just sprouts!
