The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook: Over 125 Delicious, Life-Changing, Plant-Based Recipes

The recipes in book are excellent, however, international appeal is lacking. It seems ideas from some international cuisines could be included

Not a useful book

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.

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: Breakfasts Lunches Soups Hummus, Sauces, Spreads, Gravy and Salsas Appetizers and Sides Hearty Salads Salad Dressings Dinners Desserts We 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.

Excelente. Recetas sencillas y riquísimas.

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.

The recipes in this book are fairly easy, even for people like me who don't always follow measurements or ingredient lists exactly. Amongst others I've made the S.O.B Burgers (watch the YouTube video with Jane and Ann) - I put too much liquid stock in, and didn't have enough cooked rice - so instead of making burgers I cooked it as an S.O.B. bake in the oven instead ... it was yummy. The version of the book I have is missing the 'Hearty Salads' pages 151 to 167 though ... not sure if others have the same problem? Thanks Frances
