Super Simple Homemade Pasta by Aliza Green
This homemade pasta cookbook cover the basics of making your own pasta dough and various ways to shape/cut it. The first section covers making/shaping dough and a few recipes for different types of dough. The second section covers recipes for various types of pasta dishes. I was hoping to find some recipes for ravioli or other recipes using fresh pasta. I didn't really find any recipes I wanted to try and overall just didn't feel like this was a very helpful cookbook overall.
The Wellness Principles: cooking for a healthy life by Gary Deng, M.D.
I was interested in this cookbook since it's written by a medical doctor. I liked that in the introduction of the book he talks about being frustrated that as a doctor he wasn't really making his patients well he was treating their problem/issue only for them to keep coming back with the same problems/issues over and over again because other things weren't addressed like diet, sleep, etc. He included a section called "healthy living beyond the plate" that covered things like exercise, stress, sleep, social environment, etc. But, what I didn't like right from the start is that he was pushing a plant-based diet. Milk, red meat, and butter and NOT the dietary problems. Especially if you source those products from local farmers who are practicing regenerative farming. Fake milks and meats are NOT the answer to dietary or environmental concerns. So, I was already turned off by that and honestly didn't see any recipes I wanted to try. I wouldn't recommend this one at all.
