The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity with Vegetables
The Essential Guide to Culinary Creativity with Vegetables

Review:Out performs the regular version of the flavor bible by a long shot. Great for those of us who aren't vegetarians to spark some new ideas even includes some nutritional information, descriptions of what the foods actually are, and ideas on how best to use them. Just get this book, if you can live without the pairings with meats and fish (everyone already knows rosemary goes with lamb and bacon goes with scallops anyhow). Read more

How to Achieve Healthy Living & Low Fat Lifestyle (Special Diet Cookbooks & Vegetarian Recipes Collection)

Review:Do not buy this book! On virtually every recipe measurements of ingredients are missing so you have to guess. On the procedural side of the recipe he often omits ingredients that were listed in the ingredients list so you have to guess when/how to add them. As a weight loss tool it is not very helpful because he does not have any nutritional information. I was very disappointed. Read more

More Than 150 Life-Changing Gluten-Free Recipes to Transform Your Health

Review:I actually haven't gotten into the recipes very much, which is the reason I ordered it. I am having some alignment problems currently and don't spend a lot of time standing to prepare my food. I have looked through them and there seem to be some interesting ones to try. Hopefully I'll get to it. Read more

and Achieve Optimal Health - Boost Brain Performance

Review:This book is for the health-obsessed individual. I would use it more as a resource than an actual daily guidebook. Having said that it is packed with details and reliable information depending on your belief system and ability to comprehend. Personally, I have pulled information from this book, Atkins, the Coconut wt loss plan and my own experience. When skinny people write books of this nature, I am always hopeful...but in the end rarely successful for any length of time. My advice is seek... Read more

Review:Nice addition to my vegan cookbook collection. Of course, I have never tried a recipe that I don't tweak to my tastes. That being said of the four recipes I tried all were good & will probably be made again. Read more

Plant-Based Recipes - The China Study Cookbook - Over 120 Whole Food
Plant-Based Recipes - The China Study Cookbook - Over 120 Whole Food

Review:This is our most tattered and used cookbook in the house. First off, its flaws are tolerable. I find some of the recipes ask for too much pasta, but you can easily adjust stuff like that. I am also sometimes suspicious about the sugar in some of these recipes, especially after reading the China Study and Whole. I love that there are pictures for most of the recipes, however they are all zoomed in and I would prefer some of the pictures be taken farther back to give a better idea of what the dish...

Eat All Week with Whole Food - Plant-Based Recipes

Review:I have mixed emotions about China Study Quick & Easy Cookbook. The photography is nice so you get an idea of what each dish is without having to read the recipe first, so deciding what you want to cook is easier. But two things frustrate me about the book:
...No nutrition information for the recipes, and
...Unclear cooking instructions.

I ordered the book because I read The China Study and other books based on that information, so I'm eating vegan for both humane reasons and for... Read more

High-Fat Paleo Meals to Heal Your Body - Nutritious Low-Carb

Review:Maria has done it again! This cookbook is even better than her others, which I wasn't sure was possible. I love the pictures and the easy to follow instruction and the handy nut free/dairy free indicators. She inserts busy family tips as well as how to make something dairy-free if needed. I have tried the tater tots, chai & raspberry fat bombs, cinnamon swirl cheesecake, and have more on the menu for this week! Read more
