I find that everything here "speaks" to my instincts. Everything I see here just feels intuitive to me. Maybe it's because we're in the same camp, or maybe also because the "loose pattern" of philosophies you've woven together here fits so well for so many of us. Thank you!

As a newbie to whole foods and anything that isn't meat and potatoes...your recipes and fun way that you give lessons really are making the transition to healthy eating easy. Thank you so much!

7/17/11 you guys are BRILLIANT with your videos. The entertainment value opens up the floodgates of people who want to watch and (inadvertently) learn from you about the wonders of whole foods. I use them in our kids' cooking classes all the time. Lots of laughs and learning! "Who doesn't like applesauce? I'll tell you who, freaks and crazy people!" We love Jane!" Marirose
5/19/11 My 2 year old LOVES this soup ( Yaki Soba). She scoops the broth with her little spoon and picks up every last bit of tofu, bok choy, and mushroom with unbridled enthusiasm. I love your recipes and best of all my family does too! Thank you!
5/5/11 Keep up the great show! LOL...my kids watched 5 episodes today... my oldest loves Jane and keeps watching to see if she's going to get together with what's-his-name and my boys couldn't stop laughing at Darrell and they all want to know why they can't see Captin J. Tomena Reed3/19/11 I made this soup tonight and it was, by far, the best homemade soup we have ever had. 3 generations ate together, even my 5 and 2 year olds! Thank you from the bottom of our empty soup bowls! Taylor HopeI've been consistently cooking your meals for over a month, now, and I love all the recipes I've made. Even my husband loves them, which is amazing because, in the past, he's usually complained when I made 'healthy meals', calling them 'a snack'. Thanks for making it so enjoyable to eat healthy! Erin Fields-Johnson2/11/11 This is my 3rd recipe this week since Saturday night-it's only Monday! I'm hooked on your site. such great food and love the videos. Thanks to all!!! Josie1/13/11 Wow, what an amazing site. I made your fish tacos for dinner last night and my 13 yo commented on how good they were. In fact she said, Mom everything you've made from Cookus Interruptus has been good! Yes, delicious and easy!! Thank you so much
Ruby Cacchione12/29/10 while watching this video (Be Bop Breakfast) my 7yr old daughter was totally perplexed that you would eat cooked greens for breakfast. (we do green smoothies, but my kids are pretty skeptical about other usage of greens) But after watching it through she asked if we could try it tomorrow! I think we are going to watch a few more videos!

Rosemary Red Soup: I make this soup for my birthday every year. It was the soup that got me to reconsider beets after hating them since birth. Now I love them, as long as they're fresh!

For my birthday last week, my friend helped me make the apple pie with butter crust. We couldn't stop congratulating our pie while we were eating it. It was delicious...and we had no hesitation about serving our daughter nice hefty slices. Thank you, Cynthia Lair. Your recipes make my life better every day.
Anna 10/8/10 I've been cooking from your website for the last few weeks, and every single recipe I've tried has turned out Incredible. Thank you so much for doing something like this! The videos make it very simple for a visual learner. I look forward to any new recipes you post :)

I just have to say, once again, how much I love your website. I've been a huge fan of the cookbook for years and the website makes it fresh. True story: my kids (5 and 2) and I will sit and watch your videos. My son, the 5 year old, loves them!

"My 4-year-old son referred to it as 'the phenomenal noodle salad' and kept offering additional helpings to everyone at the table! I will definitely be making this again. :-)"

"Cooking for my family had become a chore. I was basically in a rut until I came across your site via the OCA. I have actually began enjoying cooking again. My kids are now even trying simple recipes on their own. I feel such a sense of satisfaction knowing I am preparing food that's nourishing and delicious. I have learned so much. Thank you, thank you :)"

"I have been cooking more. I made some really good fried tofu, delicious soba noodles, Bok Choy (from the collard greens vid), Blanched red cabbage, fried rice, some thing else I can't remember, and almost every day for breakfast I eat either quinoa or steel cut oats. Not only that my knowledge on food has increased 10 fold. All thanks to you. xo"-Joel "Can I just say that your videos make me laugh my butt off? Is that ok? Did I mention I am totally by myself when I do this? Loooove you guys!"
sunbronzedbabe "Besides providing amazing how-to recipes on whole, organic foods, you weave a gentle little funny-family story-line throughout that always leaves me wanting more. I forward your site to friends with the spoiler, "pssst, bet you can't watch just one!" There's just nothing like your program anywhere!"
Lynne Lillie
"What a really well conceived, and nicely organized website. Being gut-bustingly funny is an added bonus. Nice job, Fam."

Mini Chocolate Lava Cakes with Salted CaramelsThe lovely and talented Sasha Selden (part of our first graduating class of BS Nutrition and Culinary Arts students at Bastyr University - she's now a sous chef at Forest Ridge School) showed me this recipe. These cakes are quick to make, gluten free, and the soft middle melts in your mouth - does it get better? ¾ cup (4-5 ounces) dark chocolate2 tablespoons creamy almond butter2 eggs¼ cup unrefined cane sugar (rapadura or sucanat) sugarPinch of sea salt1 tablespoon sweet potato or millet flour2 pieces chocolate covered salted caramel, cut into 4 piecesDirections 1. Preheat the oven to 450F and butter 4 four-ounce mason jars (small ramekins work too); set aside. 2. Place the chocolate and nut butter in a bowl and place it over a pot of simmering water. Stir until melted. 3. Combine the eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt. Beat until pale and light in color, and the volume of the batter has doubled. 4. Fold in gently the flour and then the chocolate. Divide the batter between the jars (keep 1/3 of the batter). Add pieces of caramels and cover with the rest of the batter. Bake for 8-10 to minutes or until the tops of the cakes have just set and start to crack. The less time you bake the cakes the more gooey the center will be. Preparation time: 20 minutes Makes 4 mini-cakes Adapted by Cynthia Lair and Sasha Selden from La Tartine Gourmande |

Yes Gary, he does look rather dated.
Melody, I have never tried this as ONE cake. It is mostly built on air and eggs so I would be concerned about it holding it's shape. As for the caramels, you can use ANY chocolate pieces in the center. The melting of the caramel or chocolate creates the lava in the center.
