This book is packed with everyday and special occasion recipes, gorgeous pictures, some teaching and enjoyable little personal narratives about many of the recipes. It is an excellent value.
I have Jane and Ann’s first book (Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook.) This book - Be a Plant-based Woman Warrior - is a definite upgrade in several ways. It is larger (bigger pages, more pages, many more recipes) and the photographs are improved as well. Recipes in the first book were limited because they never included nuts whereas this book includes nuts when appropriate. The desert recipes are more appealing and main stream (Outta Sight Brownies and Chocolate cake with German Chocolate Frosting, rather than Kale Cake with Blueberry Frosting.)
It is hard for me to express how much I like the photos but I will try. There is nice variation in that some are close ups of a specific recipe and others are several related recipes on one page. The picture of slices of 8 cakes with 8 scrumptious looking frostings is just delightful. I let my grandchildren look at the pictures and chose what they would like to make with me. Levi picked Peach Melba and it was delicious. Hannah picked brownies, Lemon Pie squares and Zander Tart - and all were a big hit at our weekly Sunday family lunch. (Desert recipes rely on maple syrup but we only have desert once a week and each recipe is split between 7 people, so I am okay with that.)
Other recipes we now use regularly are from the Dinner Feasts section. We rotate between Taco Bar, Pasta Tonight Bowl and Ramen Bowls. All three work well for a crowd, can be prepped in advance and are fairly budget friendly.
If you are undecided about purchasing, consider trying what I did. First, I checked it out from my local library. After surveying the entire book, and making Three Goddesses Salad, I knew it was a good match for how I like to cook and eat, so I purchased it. I splurged for the spiral bound version because I expect to use this book regularly, for years. I can easily understand why it is now also a New York Times bestseller.

Popular Highlights in this book
When we cook with turmeric, we try to include black pepper to help with bioavailability.Highlighted by 126 Kindle readers- We tend to cook with walnuts more often than other nuts due to their healthy omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.Highlighted by 121 Kindle readers
- Arugula is our green of choice as it is best for boosting nitric oxide production, which is crucial to vascular health. And we sneak oranges, blueberries, mangoes, or tomatoes into our salads to be sure we get enough vitamin C, which helps mobilize iron into the blood. After a while, it all becomes habit.Highlighted by 107 Kindle readers

About the author
Fun Cookbook From Plant-Based Legends
Many great recipes can be found in this cookbook. The index is not very helpful because the recipes all have cutesy names, which makes it difficult to find a recipe by its main ingredient. Read the ingredient lists carefully and check for missing items. For example, the German Chocolate Frosting on page 308 is missing 6 tablespoons of cocoa powder. Some of the desserts rely heavily on copious amounts of maple syrup, which surprised me a little, coming from heart-healthy superstars. This is a great cookbook for a large family. If you are cooking for one or two, be sure to check the serving sizes, or you could be eating the same salad for a week. Many people seem to love the spiral-bound version, but my standard book lays very well on a table and is easy to read. The font size is nice, and many of the recipes have pictures. The roasted veggie recipes are some of my favorites. One definite benefit is that the authors have made many of these recipes available on YouTube. It's nice to have a tutorial. I'm a big fan of the Esselstyn family, and I'm enjoying trying the recipes in this cookbook.

I just opened the package and can't believe how nice this cookbook is. I bought the spiral bound book, and it's well worth it! There are pics with every recipe, and the recipes aren't complicated and look delicious. This is, by far, the best plant-based cookbook I have ever purchased. There are pages and pages of helpful information. Whether you are plant based already, looking to start a plant-based diet, or simply wanting to add more fruits and veggies in your diet, this cookbook is for you. Thank you, Ann and Jane!!
