Lots of great recipes and info but also some pseudoscience mixed in. The author clearly states at one point that her evidence for several of her health claims is based on her own experiences and not proper studies, but it may be easy for readers to miss which is which. Kale is good for you, but please don't expect it to cure cancer, folks.

I love kale, so I am always looking for new things to mix with it. Olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, onions, capers, and jalapenos are my favorite things to add to the saute. This book suggests some nice combinations (i.e. chicken broth stews, kale polenta, salads)and it is worth checking out if you enjoy cooking and are looking for something new.
