You Don’t Have to Have Heart Disease to Enjoy this Book!
You don’t have to have heart disease or be a vegetarian to enjoy the recipies in this cookbook. They’re easy to follow, and most have beautiful photos to show you what the finished products will look like- mostly very colorful dishes with lots of eye appeal. We’ve tried 8 of the recipies so far, and are very pleased. Before you get started, make sure you have some key ingredients in many of the recipies: balsamic vinegar, chickpeas, cilantro, cayenne pepper, frozen corn (organic, of course) and spicy brown mustard.I suggest you start with the soups: the Red Lentil and Dill Soup with Mint is a wonderful combination of flavors that will give you a sample of what you’re going to find in the book. It’s such a bright-tasting soup that you’ll want to try some of the others. Try the Tarrazan Soup, but make sure you go out of your way to find some FRESH tarragon in your market; it makes a big difference, Georgie’s soup is a tasy combination of fennel, mushrooms, lentils and potatoes; if you’ve never used fennel before, this is a great way to start enjoying it.The hummus recipe gave us the best hummus we’ve EVER tasted- never going back to store-bought again. It’s so easy to make (chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, mustard and black pepper), and it’s used in several of the recipies in the book.In addition to the recipies there are helpful comments throughout the book, including suggestions for some commercially-prepared items that are consistent with the Esselstyn diet. We’ve tried 2 brands of breads made without oil, and they were excellent.One minor criticism: several of the recipies are heavy on the garlic. No big deal- follow the recipie the first time, and if you agree with me about the garlic, just cut it back the next time you make it. This is a cookbook you’ll use again and again.

Excellent Cookbook
After a health scare I bought this book in an attempt to improve my health and prevent health issues that are seemingly lurking around the corner. I’m so happy I made the decision. All of the recipes I’ve tried are easy to follow, the ingredients are easy to find and ones most ppl have in their kitchens and they’re easy on the budget. I’m trying all of the recipes in the book and so far the ones I’ve made are delicious. I’ve lost a few pounds, my brain fog is alleviating, I have more energy, I’m sleeping better and I feel really good. I’m convinced that it’s because of the lifestyle changes I’ve made including using this cookbook. I highly recommend this to everyone. You will not be disappointed.

Good recipes that are easy to make
To preface my review, I have already read several books such as “Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease”, “Forks Over Knives”, “The Spectrum”, etc. The point is that I was looking for a good cookbook to go with the knowledge I had already learned that plant based low oil eating was the way I wanted to go for my health and the health of my family. We are somewhat picky eaters and really do not care for overly fancy or fussy food. This cookbook fulfilled our needs very well.The beginning of the book has a 12-step program for plant perfect eating. It pretty much sums up, in 3 pages, most of the books I have read on plant based eating without all of the scientific explanations.The next section of the book covers some basics, such as how to use tortillas to make taco shells, how to cook kale, how to roast red peppers, and more. Some people may find that useful, others have already mastered that. Either way it’s worth a look.Next there is a Q&A with Dr. Esselstyn Jr. It is about 6 pages long. It answers what I would assume are the common questions asked by people with heart disease looking into a plant based diet.The rest of the book is comprised of the recipes. They are organized in the following chapters:BreakfastsLunchesSoupsHummus, Sauces, Spreads, Gravy and SalsasAppetizers and SidesHearty SaladsSalad DressingsDinnersDessertsWe have tried several recipes and they have all been winners. Our favorites are probably the smoky little devils (like a potato based deviled egg), sweet corn sauce, and the sweet pancake puffs.I have used this cookbook more than the other plant based cookbooks I have.

Recipes Galore
This is a nicely made colorful recipe book. It contains a lot of healthy recipes…for heart health. I have tried a couple that I like. It is a book for a very health conscious person willing to sacrifice some of the items we find very enjoyable to eat. I think if followed even a few meals a week it would make a big difference in heart health, which is what I am trying to do.

I bought this book and the how not to die cookbook, and for my surprise this one has no good recipes, they don’t make you feel full, almost vegetables and fruits but not many protein and carbs and they are really important, i don’t recommend it if you want to learn how to make lunch recipes or dinner meals. Is more for the sides, if you want to learn that buy it.

Life changing is completely the correct term to use about this cookbook as it concisely outlines meals that are Plant Based.I have reduced my weight by 60kg in the last 2 years whilst enjoying the flavourful bounty that is Plant Based eating and I’ll never go back to the Standard American (Australian) Diet.Fitter, healthier and cleaner than I have ever been in my adult life since I swapped my SAD old diet… many thanks for the inspiration(s) in this cookbook.

Le ricette sono molto facili da eseguire. Purtroppo non si trovano con facilità alcuni ingredienti come spesso accade quando si usano cookbook di altri paesi.

I wanted this for the variety of hummus recipes, but mostly because I have watched the videos on youtube of Jane and Ann, the authors, cooking these. They are inspiring to watch. The foods always look simple and do able. I wanted to have the recipes on hand. I’m a visual learner and get a lot of inspiration from cookbooks with photos. I was already figuring out how to eat plant based, but I think, being able to stay with it long term requires some encouragement from the selection of cookbooks I keep around. The hummus recipes are valuable. Just that one change, making a batch of hummus every week, has helped me stay away from butter and salad dressing, and lose weight effortlessly without feeling deprived of anything.
