What can I say? It has been around since 92 and still has lots of good healthy advise for the newby juicer. Not only does it give juicing recipes but it also tells you what to save from the pulp and what not to save in order to make a good cake, pie, add on for a meal, but it also gives you the recipe for the cake, pie, or meal for the add on. So if you're looking for something that tells you not only about good juicing but also how to make something with it all then this is the book for you.

I do not have the Lalane juicer but do have one. I have found a few good juice recipes in here but have not used it a ton. I have found that my taste does require each recipe to be modified slightly but overall this is a good baseline.

I'm finding this book to be practical and straight forward. The well thought out format provides simple location to specific health care needs. It offers a wealth of information in layman's terms. For the new "juicer" this is a good resource for how to get started and educating yourself for better health. Counsel on food combinations to address certain health needs is well thought out. Discussions regarding types of juicers and care and maintance makes it an invaluable resource. Due to the publication date of the book, there have been advancements in the nutritional information which makes this resource limited, but valid just the same. I highly recommend this book to anyone. The author's own health and long life makes this book speak for itself.

I HAVE FOUND THIS VERY INFORMATIVE AND I'M GLAD THAT I BOUGHT IT. IT SO WELL WITH THE JACK LANNE JUICER THAT I BOUGHT.

Jucier was easy to use, but to go to all that is involved to make one glass of juice was not worth it. Simpler to go to grocery store and get container of 100% juice products.

Excellent book to accompany your juicer. Great recipes and wonderful suggestions for pulp you would have thrown away. Easy to follow, well written. A must for anyone with a juicer. Love it.

This is a vey easy book to read written by Jack LaLanne's wife Elaine. The first half of the book gives you the lowdown on all the different foods. Here you will find the benefits of certain fruits and vegetables, what to do with the pulp etc.I for one don't have the time to use the pulp to make goodies but usually use it in my vegetable recycle bin in the yard that gives me the best mulch. There is also a suggested improvement section, such as best juices for seniors, young people, detoxification etc. The second half of the book gives you all the juice recipes . Some of the combinations sound gross but surprisingly some of those actually turned out to be great tasting. A few years back I got a juicer and incorporated juicing, especially during summmer into my diet(not to be confused with going on a diet) and found this book had some great suggestions. Since it is not always cost effective to juice I only do it on occassion. Anyway, here you have it, everything you need to know about juicing and it's benefits. Jack LaLanne has to be doing something right, right?

The first few chapters of this book are dedicated to the benefits of juicing, how to juice individual fruits and vegetables and what their specific benefits and nutrional information is and gives suggestions based on lifestyle needs. The second section of this book is filled with recipes for juicing. These juices cover breakfast, lunch, dinner, entertaining for guests and dessert. I was very surprised that I enjoyed as many of the combinations as I did. Who knew that red pepper juice would be almost sweet enough for dessert?

The wonderful thing about this book is the author's emphasis on using the "pulp" left by the fruits and vegetables to minimize waste, to get the most out of your money and to get the necessary and vital fiber that our bodies need. Carrot pulp should be saved and used to make carrot cake, zucchini pulp for zucchini bread, pineapple or apricot pulp retained for creating the freshest of fresh preserves to serve as toppings for toast, muffins or pancakes.

The author also encourages experimentation and offers a few suggestions in branching out to exotic fruits and vegetables, like those found in Asian or specialty markets.

Overall, this is a very down-to-earth, easy to read and follow guide for anyone that's interested in introducing the yummy and healthy benefits of juicing into their lives.
