Had really great info and a lot of interesting reading. I would have liked more of that, the book is easily 70% recipes which is great to have, however I would have liked more of the other. (

Don't see us going full vegan but I do see veggie focus going way up. And thats a great thing. (

I can see the value in this cookbook as it uses some less *popular* ways to season foods, which I really like...however, it is missing pictures. I crave pictures. They motivate me. Especially now, with my warped brain unable to picture anything on its own, I need to see what it will look like.

I re-read this one 7 years later. I am a much more experienced cook now who prefers to do things the way that tastes the best rather than the easiest. A cookbook without pictures no longer bothers me as long as I learn something from it. I did not learn anything new from this. (

This book makes the case for a healthy, whole-foods, plant-based way of eating. The authors argue that eating a plant-based diet produces powerful health benefits including a reduction of health care costs. It is also better, they aver, for the environment, showing how dependence on farm animals contributes to global warming, deforestation, waste, water pollution, fisheries depletion, endangered species, and soil erosion.

In spite of the benefits, however, convincing people to switch to plant-based diet has huge obstacles to overcome. They name the food industry and its profit demands as the primary culprit, writing, “With billions of advertising and marketing dollars, it [the food industry] annually cajoles and entices us with its dairy, meat, fish, poultry, and eggs, as well as products laden with sugar, salt, and fat. This ceaseless assault achieves its goal of convincing a vulnerable and unprotected public to ingest food that will make them fat and sick…”

Certainly anyone who watches television can attest to the onslaught of ads for less than healthy snacks an “treats.” But the real treat, the authors maintain, will be how much better you feel when you eat differently.

A few recipes are included but those trying out this lifestyle will want to check out the companion book, Forks Over Knives: The Cookbook.. Those who try these recipes will be surprised at how good the food tastes. It is not the tastiness of the food that is the barrier, really, it is the psychology…. (

I found the book was just as bad, if not worse, than the film. Like the film, the book relied on some cheap shots to prove its point - which was completely unnecessary, as there s sufficiently strong evidence without the melodramatics (the worst being the movie, as many of the foods suggested as fitting in the Food Pyramid - diet coke for example - isn't part of the USDA food pyramid or "My Plate" (in fact, soda is listed as "empty calories" and even stated that it should be avoided). The movie and the book used cheap theatrics to make its point; actually, I felt the figures/diagrams were not properly explained in the book and only made sense if you saw the film.

As well, I found that the author assumed a lot of information to be fact without citing any research, particularly in the beginning. It was very much a diatribe - and not all books on veganism/plant-based diets are. While my next criticism is common in many books on veganism, I still find it distasteful in this book: it is one-sided and suggests problems with veganism as solutions without realistic perspective on what would happen as a result. For example, he suggests how meat-eating harms the environment by the waste such animals produce, but even if cows were not longer needed for meat or milk, they can no longer be released into the wild nor could the chemicals related to their waste be completely eliminated from the environment - unless he is suggesting we purposefully extinct these creatures for no longer being useful?

All of the information he presented has been stated - in fact, better stated - in other books. This one was a waste of my time... Okay, I wrote down a few recipes but they aren't stellar and still not worth it. (
