Product Description
The Blue Heron Ranch Cookbook, based on Cooking Off the Grid, also by Nadia Natali, blends 126 tasty, healthful recipes with lively tales of the Natali family’s adventures living close to the land—in the wilds of California’s Los Padres National Forest. Nadia Natali's varied dishes, suitable for any group or family, are presented in a simple style that makes them both visually appealing and effortless, as a sequence of ingredients that correspond to numbered directions. Each chapter opens with a vivid account of the family’s trials and triumphs at Blue Heron Ranch, followed by a particular category of recipes, arranged in seven groupings. Whimsical illustrations adorn the recipes and embellish the sometimes poignant, often hilarious stories about raising a family in the wilderness, running a meditation center, and facing nature’s seemingly endless challenges—with the Blue Heron Ranch kitchen being the center around which these events unfold. Recipes include Blue Heron Ranch Potato Leek Soup, Saturday Market Quiche, Miso Pine Salmon, Ojai Bouillabaisse, Early Morning Rice Cream, Aunt Ev’s Cardamom Bundt Cake, and Honey Almond Chai. The Blue Heron Ranch Cookbook offers culinary and spiritual sustenance to anyone who wants to experience, or revisit, the pleasures of comforting, communal meals at Zen and other retreat centers.

A Retreat in a Book August 11, 2008
As a collector of cookbooks for 40 years, I believe this is one of the most beautiful, useful cookbooks I have ever owned. Beyond it's delicious and easy-to-follow recipes, the book's heart-centered stories and joyful illustrations provide a portal to a beautiful, natural world that feeds one's soul. A work of art, love and wisdom - thank you!
A book to keep August 9, 2008
This book is a must have. Simple recipes that I will use over and over. I'm a huge cookbook fan, my husband and I read them like fiction. This one is always at my fingertips and never intimidating.
At last a cookbook after my own heart! August 7, 2008
What a Great Cookbook!!! The recipes in this book are not only scrumptious, but the whole book is so aesthetically pleasing and easy to follow. The author Nadia has adapted various flavors from other cultures to merge with the healthy, California cuisine that she offers to her family, friends and retreat participants. I loved reading the stories that preceded some of the recipes, which gave me a true taste of the colorful and interesting world she created.
