5.0 out of 5 stars This has been the best thing since sliced (Ezekiel)bread!, October 30, 2002
This review is from: The Blood Type Diet Cookbook: 100 Fresh and Delicious Recipes to Transform your Health and your Life! (Paperback)
I recently started the ER4YT lifestyle diet (I'm an O), and this book has been a delight. It not only provides over 120 recipes, but does so as a entertaining read, well-laid out , with background history about and cultural uses of the ingredients tucked in here and there amongst the recipes. It makes reading the whole book (and all the recipes) a pleasure.

The recipes are pretty quick and easy to make- a welcome feature for all of us busy folk!

Each recipe has the means of adapting the recipes for different types at the top of the text- allows me to quickly see which recipes I can use, and specifically how to make them usable. Most of the recipes are adaptable, so you don't feel like there are big chunks of unusable info here.
I highly recommend this book- enjoy!

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is very, VERY basic., October 16, 2011

This review is from: The Blood Type Diet Cookbook: 100 Fresh and Delicious Recipes to Transform your Health and your Life! (Paperback)
I was really excited to get this book! I've got the Blood Type Diet memorized for my blood type (I even did the spit test and found out that I'm a non-secretor) and have enjoyed working with it for a few years now. I own COOK RIGHT 4 YOUR TYPE and love going through the recipes that people put up on Dr. A'Damo's website... BUT I was looking for more. I'm a great cook and I love adding variety to my list of recipes. I was hoping to get some great main dishes and desserts out of this book.

I'm disappointed with the book because it literally fills the pages with recipes like "Braised Carrots." Yeah, I already know how to cook carrots with butter and garlic. MOST of these recipes, unfortunately, are SO basic. Basic may be perfect for the beginner who has never cooked for themselves, but this book is too simple for anyone who feeds themselves ANY sort of variety of home-cooked meals. There's literally a recipe for peas where you add a few seasonings. GIVE ME A BREAK.

I'd also like to point out that A LOT of the pages are filled with each food that's okay and not okay for each blood type to eat. BUT... BEFORE acquiring any blood type recipes, I HIGHLY recommend OWNING AND STUDYING the LIVE RIGHT 4 YOUR TYPE book.

This book wasted a lot of pages on information that needs to be read from the original book, IN CONTEXT.

This book also does NOT address non-secretors. (A step beyond following the blood type diet is completing a spit test which shows whether your blood type is a "secretor" or "non-secretor." It can make all the difference if you are actually a non-secretor, as I am and about 4 out of 5 people are, in that it changes what foods affect your blood and therefore also the results that you will see by following the diet. Read LIVE RIGHT 4 YOUR TYPE.)

I'm sad to say that this book comes off like a half-assed attempt and/or a greedy endeavor to profit off of those trying to incorporate the Blood Type Diet into their lives for health and well-being.

The book is very small, only about half of the book is recipes, most of the recipes are incredibly and pathetically simple, and you can find better in COOK RIGHT 4 YOUR TYPE and on the author's website. I usually google something like "blood type diet recipes" to get back to the page where followers of the diet post recipes that suit your blood type, whether secretor or non-secretor.

Good luck and best wishes in health and happiness~
