I love powdered donuts, but I had given then up on my heart-healthy vegan diet. Jo has given them back to me with her aptly-titled recipe "Muffins that taste like Donuts."

This book has over 120 heart healthy, delicious recipes for vegans and non-vegans alike! Let me get this out of the way...my absolute, hands down, favorite recipe in this book: "Linguine With Spicy Red Garbanzo Sauce". The simplicity of the healthful ingredients was a real shock to me. I figured ok, another spaghetti recipe...It is so much more. Serve it with some "Cheezy Garlic Bread" and a spinach salad topped with "Tomato-Garlic Dressing". Do your palate and your heart a favor...With a mere 21 calories and 0 fat, this dressing packs a punch! Of course if you've been missing ranch, there is the "Classic Ranch Dressing" to try as well...so creamy! The "Moroccan CousCous" is authentic and tasty. I love it! "Garlic Infused Smashed Potatoes" are heavenly when smothered in "Golden Gravy". It almost seems wrong that there is 0 guilt associated with these dishes! Looking for breakfast? Try what is (in my opionion) a vegan's best friend...flax! The "Flaxjacks" on page 40 are a tasty way to start your day right. I like to top them with "Peanut Whip" instead of jam. "Tropical Style Museli" is filling and healthful, I love it with a dash of vanilla rice milk.
Of course there are too many recipes to review them all here, but I always save room for dessert...in this book namely the "Apple Crisp". Simple, traditional and stunning...a real crowd-pleasing crisp.
This book is chock full of recipes, 14 days of menus, information to keep your heart happy and extensive information on ingredients. I like that the grain section even offers pressure-cooker alternatives for most of the dishes.
Kudos to you Jo, you've done it again!

I recently purchased this book for my father who was diagnosed with high blood pressure and cholesterol. He's a pretty dedicated meat eater, but he's loved all of the recipes he's tried from this book! I especially like the menu plan--it gives me great ideas for deciding on my weekly menu. Some of my favorite recipes include Buckwheat Banana Pancakes, Cream of Broccoli Chowder and Fennel with Italian Style Tofu Steaks. The addition of flax to a number of the recipes is also appreciated. This book is a must for any Joanne-fan and is a great intro to heart-healthy compassion eating!

Joanne Stepaniak has shown me that healthy food does not have to be bland and boring. Her creative use of ingredients is so inspiring. This book offers a great variety of recipes and I recommend it to everyone who wants a healthy heart and body.

This book is excellent! All of Joanne Stepaniak's works are well worth the money. This book has variations of some of her previous recipes that are just as good or even better! Specifically, she has substituted flax and flax oil to make some previous recipes even more appropriate for those with heart/health concerns. The recipes in this new book are definitely NOT mere copies from previous books! I anxiously await Joanne's next book and will be first in line at the book store!
