Review:

Bought a juicer and unsure what to do with it? Bored with fresh orange juice and looking for something more exciting? Look no further. This is an excellent, lavishly illustrated guide to the world of juicers and the amazing things you can make in them. Smoothies, juices, hi-energy boosters, all sorts are clearly covered, each with their own tongue-tingling photograph with which to whet the appetite. Using a huge range of ingredients, it is an eclectic array of recipes designed to inspire and satisfy all tastes from sweet to savoury, tart to creamy. Classic smoothies include apple and blueberry, dried fruit salad, banana and peanut butter. Tropical teasers include mango lassi, fruit frappe and key lime pie. For veggie fans there is a whole host of innovatively named concoctions: "Green Light" with broccoli, apple and cucumber, "Head Banger" with lettuce, fennel and lemon and "Chilli Queen". With further sections on citrus juices, health drinks, hi-energy boosters and breakfasts-in-a-glass, this is a great little book for fans of "Juices and Smoothies". - Lucy Watson
