 We Love It June 19, 2008
Linda M. Raeder (Reno, Nevada USA)
The book is awesome and it gave me great ideas for making fresh juices and mixed drinks.
 Pages missing June 4, 2008
Patricia A. Vosberg (Los Angeles)
The book appears to have great juicing recipes but 30 or so pages were missing. This was done in the printing process. The missing pages contained recipes that pertained to juices of oranges, therefore, no use as I grow my own and wanted it primarily for that reason.
 Some are great, some not so great.... December 28, 2007
C. Betker (delavan, wisconsin USA)
Just like any cook book, you will find some things pretty darn awesome, and some not so great...like: "Do I really have to drink this?" but you do anyway, because you paid so much for the ingredients.
Seems like this juicing stuff is just hit or miss. You have to experiment. It is nice to have a guide. The V-10 was awesome, and worth the cost of the book just to get this recipe.
I wish there were more recipes on what to do with the pulp. I hate to put all that nutrition in my compost pile..

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.
