Review "I jumped on [The Book of Kale] like a slug on lettuce, not only because of my own extreme enthusiasm for this easy-growing miracle food, but also because it is becoming so rightfully popular."~Helen Chesnut, Victoria Times Colonist, June 9, 2012 (Quail, kale and other delights of summer: Article in the Victoria Times Colonist)"The recipes are creative, putting kale in just about everything, from scones to chutneys"~Meredith Goad, Portland Press Herald, June 13, 2012Hanna's book covers a short history of kale, different varieties, fun with kids and kale, and, of course, the planting, caring and harvesting of kale[...] But the majority of of Hanna's book is made up of delicious and inventive kale recipes. And yes, it has a kale chip recipe. Tried it, loved it. You will too.~Sherry A. Firing, The Globe and Mail, August 17, 2012The Book of Kale is sure to bring much needed attention to one of the most nutrient-packed vegetable crops in the world. I've researched the nutritional quality of kale for over 12 years and it truly is a superfood. It is high in available nutrients, an excellent source of cancer-fighting glucosinolate compounds, and one of the best sources for carotenoid pigments that contribute to eye health. As a cool-season vegetable, kale grows best in early spring and fall months; however, it is easy to grow year-round in most climates. It is grown as a "baby green" (30 days old), or most often grown to full maturity. Historically, thousand-head kale is the progenitor in which all of the other Brassica oleracea crops (cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower) descended. You will not find a vegetable crop with more nutritional value and historical significance than kale. It is just unfortunate that kale has been relegated to the role of a garnish at the salad bar, or on the plate. Sharon Hanna has provided many ways to enjoy this nutrient-dense vegetable, and hopefully this book will help bring this special crop to the prominence it deserves.~ Dr. Dean A. Kopsell, Associate Professor of Vegetable Crop Physiology, The University of Tennessee (Advance Praise for The Book of Kale)"It has real personality and charm and the overall results are delicious." "The book has integrity, heart and pure deliciousness."~The Jury, Taste Canada - The Food Writing Awards 2013

You can buy these delicate, high-priced treats--but by the time you get them home they're often in tiny bits. Since they don't travel well, make your own--it's a snap!You can dry kale in the oven or in a dehydrator. A dehydrator takes longer but may dry the chips more evenly. Large older/thicker leaves work well. Because its leaves are relatively flat and tend to dry evenly, 'Lacinato' can be left whole, without removing the stem. Still, any variety of kale can successfully be made into chips. If you prefer to go gluten-free, use Bragg Liquid Aminos or a gluten-free soy sauce.
Ingredients:- Washed kale leaves--enough to fit baking pan in a single layer
- Olive, avocado, walnut or grapeseed oil
- Sea or kosher salt
- Bragg Liquid Aminos or tamari soy sauce
- Sesame seeds (or experiment with other seasonings--barbecue spice, Spike, prepared rubs or a smidgen of garlic salt)
- Parchment paper (if using oven method)

By PT Cruiser Sharon Hanna's "The Book of Kale: The Easy-to-Grow Superfood 80+ Recipes" is filled with information on lots of different varieties of kale. Did you know that out of all foods, not just vegetables, that kale has a whopping 1000 out of 1000 in the Aggregate Nutrient Density Index scoring system? It's one of the healthiest foods on the planet when you consider nutrient density per calorie. Years ago, when I first read Dr. Joel Fuhrman's books on Foods for Health and realized that kale was way up at the top of the list, I started looking for more ways to get it into my family's meals. I really had no idea what to do with it other than sauteing it with garlic and onions as a nice "greens" dish or blending it into a smoothie. But Hanna's book opens up all kinds of new possibilities. There are recipes sections for Breakfast, (Can you believe it, kale at breakfast?) Starters & Light Meals, Salads, Soups & Stews, Vegetable Dishes & Sides, Pasta, Polenta & Risotto and Main Dishes. My favorites so far are: Kalekopita, Tabouli with Quinoa & Kale (good as a main course salad or to fill wraps), Pasta Puttanesca with Kale and Karefree Kale & Spud Soup with Italian Sausage (I made this with vegan Italian sausage and it turned out just delicious - and easy!) Each recipe is marked with symbols telling whether it's gluten free, vegetarian or vegan. Although we do occasionally eat meat I like to cook vegan at home. It was easy to find vegan substitutions for any meat or cheese products to make the recipes that weren't already vegan. There are 80+ recipes included.But there is much more to this book than just the recipes. There's a whole section on the nutritional benefits of kale, listing all the different nutrients. There's also a section on it's history and how it's been used throughout history, around the world. One of my favorite sections was on how to grow your own. Hanna swears it is an easy vegetable to grow, hardy even in area with short growing seasons. She has photos of it growing in the Vancouver area in the snow! There is lots of information here about growing it from seed, from transplants and from purchased plants. There are more varieties than I would have imagined. She has me convinced; I think I'll plant some in the fall. A section on kids and kale presents ideas about how to get them interested in growing and caring for it (and eating it, once it's harvested!) It has an index at the end where you can cross reference by other ingredients. There's also a list of seed sources for Canada and the US, the UK and France.The thing I like best about this book is that it has lots of beautiful color photographs, both of the plants and varieties as well as preparation methods and photos of some of the recipes. (I love the fonts used for the titles!) This is a beautiful book not only for your own cookbook library, but would also make a nice gift for anyone interested in exploring nutrient packed recipes. I received a complementary reviewer's copy of this book from the publisher and have found it entertaining as well as informative.

It really did teach me all I wanted to know about kale and more. I'm sure that I'll be using many of the tips for successfully growing more than just Kale. I'm so inspired in fact, I convinced my husband to build the raised beds we've long talked about doing, just so I can grow him his own personal supply of kale for his juicing habit. It feels strange to be this excited about a vegetable. Especially considering all of this was brought about by a simple visit to the UBC botanical garden shop, where I casually asked a question about a kale starter. I was told by an employee that I should really go inside and direct my questions to the lady who literally wrote the book on kale. Sharon was extremely helpful and the book was so attractive I thought I'd pick it up. Now, here I find myself writing my first ever review just to show my support and appreciation for her book. Thanks, Sharon!

He loves to cook, and he has to use a recipe, but most of all he loves recipe books with lots of pictures, and this one does. It also has all kinds of information about kale, how to grow it, what to look for etc. which is just what my husband likes.Only one disapproving thing: the recipes do not have the nutritional values listed. With health being a great part of our lives, especially now that we are seniors, we do like to know the nutritional value of recipes, and alway read the nutrition value listed on item we buy from the grocery store.
