I have this cookbook well stained with use! The soups, salads, entrees and yes the Carrotcake with cream cheese frosting, are wonderful! I would recommend this book to all no matter if they are vegan, not a vegan or have health issues. I have even incorperated many of the recipes into the meals of my still meat eating family, and yes, they love them also!
I will state that after I started following Ornish's program, I have lost over 20 pounds!
This cookbook is easy to read, easy to use, and has been the most important investment in my life!
A combination of scientific research into healthier living (primarily reversing heart disease but principles apply to any of us folks who want to feel energetic and live healthy lives) and easy to follow no added fat vegetarian recipes that are arranged by menu. This book is a vast improvement over his prior book Eat More, Weigh Less because the recipes are easy to make. In his prior book Ornish was trying to prove that no-added fat vegetarian cooking can be tasty too--so all the recipes are by renowned chefs given these specific parameters--thus they tend to be too complex for those of us who are not gourmet chefs but rather everyday basic cook types.
I have a bookshelf full of cookbooks and this is one of the few that I go back to on a daily basis. I'm eating food that I like, as much of it as I feel like, and I'm still losing weight. But most important of all, I FEEL healthier. The recipes are not complicated, I usually have the ingredients I need on hand. I love the soups, it's so easy to make a batch and freeze single servings for later. I really like this book. It has completely changed how I think about food. Thank you Dr. Ornish.
