I received my first share of the season, of my CSA (community supported agriculture) which had bok choy, garlic scapes and sugar snap peas, among other veggies. But I tried the snap peas and bok choy with lots of garlic scapes cooked en papillote tonight. I’d never cooked that way. It was great - easy clean up. I didn’t have lemongrass, but just used lemon zest and fresh lemon.
I did find a lot of ingredients at a high end grocery store today and have found other ingredients on line, including burdock root, which I’ve never had before, only dried as an herb. I also found lemongrass plants today. I love lemongrass but just never cooked with it.
...I am digesting, rather devouring, page by page. Most I knew, but a reminder, as I forget so many principles of NB, which you have reminded me of. I was always a meat, starch and veggie meal preparer. In my mind, I knew no double starches, but when I found NB, and learned as much as I possibly could, I forgot some of the principles, that will catapult me thanks to your cookbook.
Dr Wilson, with as much knowledge he has, doesn’t go into the detail you do. I have gone back to the basics and rechecked my diet as I feel, transitioning is hard from modern diet, no matter how good. I always encourage my clients to re-examined their diet after a Hair Analysis, as do I. But your cookbook! Wow! I don’t have that many clients yet, but I will always recommend your cookbook!
I’m excited about adding your gourmet flair to my cooking!!

It should be required reading for everyone!
Your book needs to be read by many.

Palma Piccioni, Los Angeles CA, U.S.A.
To say that this is just a cookbook would be an understatement.
More than anything, it is a lifestyle manual…and a very practical one at that.
It is written as a companion to a nutritional balancing program, but stands on its own merits as a roadmap to vibrant health.
It is a blending of the author’s own life experiences in regaining her health.
It is beautifully written and illustrated, but more than that it is a deeply personal history/journey.
As a cookbook, the recipes are delicious and easily prepared....
This is a must have for anyone who is truly serious about regaining their health and personal power.
It is a road map that navigates through the many pitfalls and myriad “solutions” (myths) about total health, with practical meal solutions that are easily tailored to one’s life.
I recommend this book highly …

Bernadine from Canada
Thank you, I am on p. 28 right now. ( But I flipped through the whole book 🙂)
I really like the layout, the illustrations, charts, spices, meal plans etc.
I like your focus on God. I also did a 12 step recovery. It was a year long, called Celebrate Recovery.
It is my opinion that people can’t fully heal without dealing with the psycho-spiritual. I just watched Dr Klinghardt yesterday state that it is becoming increasingly important to clear the traumas to heal. More so than in the past. He said 50% of our healing must come from this to get out of chronic illness.

Elsie Hern, Westerville, OH, U.S.A.
I just started the Nutritional Balancing program this year. Seeing the list of the foods recommended for the road back to excellent health was daunting, to say the least. I enjoy cooked vegetables but learning how to prepare the recommended ones seemed like it was going to take a lot of research and time. Then thank goodness I saw someone mention Josephine's book. It is easy to read and has great information on the foods as well.
The recipes are easy and I have already cooked almost a dozen of them. They turn out great. Who knew I would enjoy Brussels sprouts or rutabagas! This book is a godsend !!! And not only to those on the plan but for those who want to eat healthy in general.
Thank you for this great work, Josephine! One can sense your passion and dedication for good food and good health in the pages.
I have connected with the magic of cooking in the kitchen. It took some effort and willingness, but now I am enjoying the benefits.

Carla Kline, Waynesboro PA, U.S.A.
Josephine Zanetti has written an excellent cookbook.
It is both informative and easy to follow. I love the recipes. So far my favorite is Lamb Ragout in Collard wraps.
The book has introduced me to many new flavors and a few new vegetables such as fennel and rutabagas.
I recommend the book to anyone on the NB program, especially if you are trying to increase your daily intake of vegetables.
Thank you so much for this inspiring book Josephine!

I fortunately bought Josephine Zanetti's cookbook, "Nine Servings of Vegetables" when I started working with the Nutritional Balancing program through Analytical Research Labs (ARL) several months ago.
The day the cookbook arrived I stayed up until after midnight reading Josephine's priceless information about the program and the recommended foods along with how to buy, store and prepare them. I also appreciated her 3 week menu suggestions.
Josephine makes you feel excited about cooking and her recipes are delicious! I can't imagine doing the program without this cookbook and I will recommend it to all my clients. As a matter of fact I will recommend it to anyone who wants to be healthy.

Huntsville, AL, U.S.A.
I started Dr. Wilson’s Nutritional Balancing healing program after ‘all 9 yards’ of conventional medical cancer therapies (radiation + chemo + 15 hour surgery). I am now fully functional and have plenty of energy. And I now know: there is life after cancer.
Rather than trying to ‘fix’ symptom based health problems, Nutritional Balancing based healing programs focus on increasing our vital energy to allow our body to use its inner wisdom to restore our health.
Special diet, along with detoxification procedures is an essential component of the Nutritional Balancing healing system.
For me, the title of the book ‘Nine Servings of Vegetables' has a very special, almost magic meaning. This is because I know, the diet and its benefits, Josephine so eloquently describes in her book, are so very real.

In Nine Servings of Vegetables, Josephine has provided us with a treasure trove of information about what a healing diet looks like. As a nutritional balancing practitioner, I recommend her book to all my clients, knowing that choosing a healing diet is definitely off the beaten path.

Nine Servings of Vegetables contains essential basic recipes all the way up to interesting and delightful vegetable and spice combinations that will carry even experienced home chefs into delicious new dishes.
Nine Servings of Vegetables is not just a cookbook, it is an encyclopedia on vegetables and how to source them and prepare them. As I dove into the book, I couldn't help comparing it to Nourishing Traditions -- except I can eat all of the recipe's in Josephine's book without having to make adjustments for gluten-free, sugar-free, nightshade-free cooking. So, move over Sally Fallon; Josephine Zanetti is poised to be a prominent voice in the 21st Century for healing the body through food!

Myself and my family have enjoyed Josephine's recipe book tremendously!! Brussels Sprouts Stew and Collard Wrap Lamb Ragout with Mustard Sauce are so tasty!
A recipe book was really what I needed to help my children and my husband enjoy staying on track with the Nutritional Balancing Diet.
Big thumbs up!

Too bad good health can’t be purchased on-line or at Walmart. It’s just not that easy, but if you’re willing to make the effort, nutritional balancing works. Three years on the program and I have been able to rid myself of migraine headaches, bowel misbehaviors (the embarrassing ones), and the wretched brain fog (from heavy metal poisoning), and most recently I notice my lifetime of sugar craving has disappeared! Sugar is now like a flavoring I can choose, like lemon or salt. It no longer calls to me from inside kitchen cabinets and from the freezer chest, distracting me from every task.
Josephine's "Nine Servings of Vegetables" is not only a treasure of information about food, health benefits from food, and how to prepare it to maximize nutrition, the recipes are fabulous. They are simple, with just the right combination or touch of spice to make them interesting. Who would ever think of combining brussels sprouts, squash and cumin?...yummy! I made myself the carrots with lemon-thyme butter and suddenly felt I was eating in a Parisian restaurant.

I got Josephine's lovely book today and I have been reading it like a crazy person. I really do love it!!
It is different than I thought it would be. I had envisioned this book would be mostly vegetarian and I was pleasantly surprised that it covers, well...just about everything.
I love that Josephine has wonderful lists in the book of what to eat and what not to eat. And it is all referenced as to what page the additional recipes for sauces can be found. It is very easy to navigate and I do like Josephine's stories about the different foods, and stories from her family and her up-bringing. It reads very well, and I am super impressed with it.
It is a comprehensive look at the diet we all have, the foods we all eat, or should be eating.
WAY TO GO, JOSEPHINE!
Thank you for putting this one together for us all! We have needed this book!

This is quite possibly one of the better cookbooks I have ever read!
I really enjoyed Josephine's concise explanations on the benefits of nutritional balancing ... Easy to read and she brought a complex subject to life and made it understandable. That in and of itself is less than easy to do!!
I also particularly like all the variety of sauce recipes and how she easily explain preparation of food items that have eluded me for a while - like how to peel shallots.
Additionally, one does not have to be following a nutritional balancing program to reap the benefits of this fantastic cookbook! If one is following nutritional balancing, it provides a much needed service for those just starting out and those who have done this for a while to gain new perspectives and gain some variety in the way nutritional balancing foods are prepared.
I love Josephine's charts and references also.
Well done!

I am loving your book!
I could not sleep last night so I got up and read it for another 2 hrs. I especially like how you give all the attributes to each veggie, herb, as well as all other foods. I am now up to p.157 and am looking forward to starting to use some recipes.
I especially like all the recipes you incorporated for special spice mixtures like Ras el Hanout and many others as well as sauces , dressings , etc.. because I think that is where a lot of people who are health conscious in eating organic, tend to fall short by using so many bought dressings, sauces, salsas , etc. that might have unwanted ingredients in them.
Although, we eat many vegetables with our meats, I am planning to cut back on our protein consumption especially when it comes to eggs and meats together. That was a new concept for me, "not to mix several proteins in one meal."

Jonas Stoltzfus, semi retired organic farmer living in Loysville PA, U.S.A.
This is a cook book that looks at the "big picture " of healthy living.
It gives detailed plans and recipes, for working out a system, to recover the health with which we were created by our Creator God.
There are detailed, logical reasons given for what is best for us to eat and what we should not eat at all. With the knowledge and experience that my wife and I have gained over the last 45 years of organic grass fed beef farming, this cookbook underlines our healthy life practices as well as given us new insights in how to change and improve the way we eat.
Altogether a great cookbook with some philosophy for living well as part of the package.
