will make you want to eat your vegetables

Like others who have reviewed this book, I can attest to the fact that the recipes are relatively simple to prepare, very nourishing and tasty, and make you feel vital, fresh, and energized. Whenever I have guests coming over for anything, I reach for this book. Everything that comes out of it is just so delicious, guests frequently ask me for the recipes. I had a friend stay with me recently, and we had been out and about, fairly busy all day, and came back to my place too tired to spend any real time fussing in the kitchen; I reached for this book and sure enough found a tasty recipe for zucchini casadillas that were ready, along with a fruit salad, in only about 15 minutes. These recipes are so simple to prepare I've even taken some pre-prepared ingredients camping (along with tinfoil), and cooked up near gourmet meals over the campfire!

This book is a compliment to an eating/lifestyle program that Dr. Dean Ornish calls the life-choice program, because he emphasises that followers of this program are making a choice to eat healthfully to make MORE of your life. And that is EXACTLY what the recipees in this book--delicious, nourishing, simple, easily adaptable--have really allowed me to do. No matter what I'm doing--entertaining, camping, or just cooking for one--I know that there is always a real treat waiting for me when I open this book.

Transformed my "Meat and Potatoes" husband!

I checked this book out from the library after seeing the auther on "Oprah." I don't have heart disease, but I am always looking for more healthful ways of cooking. My husband was very skeptical about eating vegetarian. He has loved everything that I have made from this book. Now when we menu plan for the week, he goes through and picks three or four things from the book! Everything is easy to make and there are not a whole lot of strange ingredients like some other vegetarian cookbooks.

It works. 90 pounds worth for me

Ah. Poor soul below me. Don't eat this or that. How about just plain good food and eat all you want of that?

We just got the book. I have been using fat free or almost fat free cooking for a while. My 90 pounds weight loss without even trying proves it has some benefits. I was not unhappy with those 90 pounds however the other half's heart was in serious trouble so I read Ornish and started to cook that way. Very simple and taste filled once you learn the principles and learn your spices. We have made progress.. A LOT. OH is now allowed to exercise a bit. The heart got better and I lost a LOT of weight.

The book is wonderful because it has the methods, tips and hints at my finger tips instead of having to get online and hunt em down I can flip thru them as I want. The recipes are set up seasonal which is great because that is what I should be eating at this time for the best flavor. I visted the produce stand locally and bought local homegrown veggies. Came home and simply flipped the book to spring. They are designed to be models. The recipes are nice but they give me a spring board for creating my own and the book gives me the info to do that. I am not wandering around blind and bemoaning my diet. It isn't one. It is simply good eating. The pantry section helps straighten out and guide your food choices. They don't leave you high and dry to cooking beans or grain. I had to go thru several books or search the net before if I hadn't cooked a bean in a long time or never to find out info on it.

It encourages new choices in produce. Fava beans are on my list now. I don't look at the grocery store choices the same way. It is a handy reference and nice guide. IF you use it correctly. I won't whine one bit. Darn good eating and it teaches you how to cook. You won't have to follow the recipe exactly after you get done reading it. You can make it what you want.

This book has started me on the path to better eating...

I lowered my cholesterol from 290 to 246 after using the recipes in this book for 2 months. It has really helped me out tremendously, I just feel better. The recipes are quite tasty and easy to follow. My favorites so far are the black bean soup, the 2-bean enchiladas, and the Apple crisp. I like the fact that the recipes are separated by the seasons as it makes it easier to know where to look when I want to make something for a hot summer day, or cold winter day. I highly recommend this book if you need to change your eating habits to a more healthy option!
