Eating the heart healthy way is a key factor in quality of life and longevity. A strong family history of heart disease has prompted Dr. Pete to combine his love for the culinary arts and his medical degree into an evanescent fight to reduce cardiovascular disease through prevention and proper cardiac nutrition!

This unique book includes over one-hundred, 100% vegan, heart healthy recipes that you won't find anywhere else. Not tasteless veggie dishes -- but food you would find in the most elegant of restaurants -- extraordinarily tasty, easy to prepare, beautifully served, and totally good for you.

Also included is a guide for living and eating the heart healthy way!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Reference for Eating TRULY Heart Healthy, November 5, 2003

This review is from: Dr. Pete's Eating for a Healthy Heart (Spiral-bound)

I picked up a copy of this book in my local natural/organic supermarket. Wow. What a find. Dr. Pete goes through how to make just about everything I used to eat with tons of fat and butter in a totally vegan, heart-healthy way. His guide on living the heart healthy way is totally useful -- but the over 100 recipes that are heart healthy are TOTALLY unique and delicious. I love how the book lies flat for when I cook. Definitely a must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly healthy and yet delicious!, August 30, 2010

I eat from this book almost every day and I look and feel great! Even if you decided to just use an easy recipe for a couple of meals a week, it would be a major improvement over all in most families diets. It's a great book also for people interested in cancer prevention. Not to mention how your skin and waistline will thank you! Overall it's a wonderful balance between maximum nutrition and easily preparable yumminess:)
