Review: The Top 100 Juices is a collection of recipes for making homemade juices out of fruits, vegetables, and other healthy ingredients. Each recipe is limited to one page and has 3-4 simple ingredients. Each recipe is listed in 4-5 sentences and written clearly and easily for those less experienced in the kitchen. Particularly helpful is the full color pictures of each juice and the ingredients list written in a bright yellow box to make for easy viewing. The recipes are healthy and wholesome and even the most picky palette is sure to find juices to nourish and enjoy.
Opinion: I like the simplicity of the recipes. The language used in the recipes does not require much previous experience with cooking or culinary terms which is great for young adults learning how to make food. The color symbols, pictures, and text make this a very attractive book and keep it well organized and easy to navigate. Each recipe is listed as a category such as "detoxifiers" and "digestion soothers". The only down-side of this book is that the user needs to own a juicer as each recipe requires this expensive appliance. Fortunately, juicers are becoming more popular and therefore less expensive and can be affordable for many families.
Ideas: Each recipe lists the nutrients included which will make it a perfect complement to a health or cooking class. Another fun idea is to make juices (librarian and student, or only students make the juice) and sell them for a library fundraiser. Have this book and other cookbooks on display to check-out during the fundraiser. Another great idea is that the students make juices for teachers during teacher appreciation week and give them a write-up of the nutritional benefits of that particular juice.
