Review:

"This is a fine and important book, one that heralds with good spirit significant and necessary changes that clearly are on their way. The author has...produced a book that is an act of faith, a reservoir of information and a practical manual." (on the 1976 edition)

"More-With-Less has been a go-to resource for forty years because it's classic--reliable ingredients, timeless recipes, and practical advice for practical cooks. Like a favorite pair of jeans, you'll find yourself returning to this cookbook over and over again. The best text for being a good steward of God's creation while making memories around the table!"

--Nancy Sleeth "Reviews "

"More-with-Less still speaks the truth today. It's comforting to know that the same simple advice can hold true in an ever more complex food environment. Food tastes best when shared with others and better still when you know you aren't taking it away from someone who needs it more." (From the foreword to the 40th Anniversary Edition)

--Leanne Brown "Reviews "

"More-with-Less reminds us that what we eat and how we eat impacts those for whom food may not be readily available. These delicious, healthy recipes are designed to simplify what can be a stressful and often wasteful process. This book recaptures our imagination and empowers us to enjoy the fullness of God's wonderful creation through food and community."

--Jenny Yang "Reviews "

"In a world in which more than 750 million people don't have enough to eat, it is important to reflect on what and how we eat. This edition of More-with-Less continues the fine tradition of helping readers eat and live in ways that show concern for those who are poor and hungry."

--Jim Cornelius "Reviews "

It's easy to assume eating ethically, with a clean conscience, means spending more than we can afford on the dinner table. This cookbook gratefully and cheerfully proves that assumption wrong, with its simple, hearty, and conscious-driven recipes. I'm grateful for this tool as our family pursues eating well--both in our bellies and in our compassion for others."

--Tsh Oxenreider "Reviews "

"This beautiful anniversary edition of More-with-Less honors Doris Longacre's vision to help people eat more compassionately, more mindfully, and better. Conscientious eaters will appreciate the wise resourcefulness found within."

--Lisa Graham McMinn "Reviews "

"More-with-Less has possibly educated more people around the world about Mennonite values and beliefs than any book of history or theology. Longacre's culinary politics were at the forefront of a food sustainability revolution that is even more relevant today."

--Marlene Epp "Reviews "

"More-with-Less is a gentle, delicious, communal reminder that all our food choices--in ways seen and unseen--are tied to people's lives, sometimes on the other side of the world and sometimes to our neighbors. Eating simply is good for all of us, and we are all in this together."

--Ali Berlow "Reviews "

"Besides being a book to cook with, More-with-Less is a book to live with. Not only will you find recipes to savor food, but you will discover new ways to savor community and celebrate the world's diversity of peoples and places. This book is an invitation to receive and share God's gift of life."
