 Tasty and healthy, woohoo April 27, 2008

I haven't tried every recipe in this book but so far so good. I've especially enjoyed the baked goods (check out the Zucchini Pecan Bread). Not only are the recipes good but the sections that precede them provide some really interesting and inspiring information on eating. It's a great foundation from which to approach the recipes that follow as well as those from outside sources, and I definitely recommmend reading them through. If you make an effort to utilize the advice in the book you might just end up enjoying this required daily activity a whole lot more than you used to. What you get out of this book though depends on your schedule, because there is just so much to do and make that seems appealing. Personally, the meal plan seems quite challenging because of the amount of cooking involved, but the meals themselves are good tasting (some more so than others), not particularly difficult to cook, and maintain a focus on healthy ingredients. I'm glad that I have this around my kitchen now as a reliable source of vegetarian recipes. I also like that amazon offers the online version of this book for an extra dollar or two when you buy it. I can see that coming in handy if I happen to be cooking away from home, or if I'd like to share a recipe with friends.

This book offers a simple way to start eating healthy. I've been interested in gourmet food and cooking for years and then became a student of Ayurveda. Though the concepts of Ayurvedic eating are introduced in the beginning, and the recipes follow ayurvedic guidelines, the book isn't complicated with hard to understand terms. Best of all, the preparations are wonderful for a taste-discriminating Western palate.
The best cookbook I've ever owned! November 10, 2005

This cookbook is filled with healthy and delicious recipes. It is well-written, with easy to follow directions and ingredients that are readily available. I really like the 30-day meal plan that is included; it takes all the guess work out of menu planning. While I was not a vegetarian before I began using this cookbook, I am now! The food is so delicious and high enough in protein that I don't miss meat at all--although for you die-hard carnivores, there are many recipes that have meat-optional directions. This book has everything from breakfast foods through desserts and these recipes have gained approval from my toughest critics: my 10- and 14-year-old sons. Although not diet food, my husband and I have both lost weight since we began following the 30-day plan. The food is so nutritious and satisfying, that our junk food cravings have been greatly reduced. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for healthy and delicious recipes. Enjoy!
