Well there isn't an option that says -- looked through with interest. I didn't read the book as in from cover to cover because I just don't do that with cookbooks, but I did go through it looking at recipes saying, "This looks good" or saying, "If I tried that my son would disown me!"

o far everything I have made has been really good! Baby & Hubby approved!!!
1) Hearty Dal Soup (pg.100) very mild but totally satisfying.
2) Mushrooms, Kale, & Potatoes (pg. 142) Rocking good!!! This one helped my clean out my veggie drawer :) Must add Siracha! I doubled the recipe and the next day we ate it for breakfast with an egg, sunny side up as a topper. De-lish!
This is a great book if you want to learn how to start cooking vegetarian meals!!!!

I was really excited to find out there was a Forks Over Knives cookbook coming out. The recipes from their website have proven to become some favorites around the house, and I was eager for more from the same people.
However, I was disappointed to find when I received the book that I got one of the copies with multiple editing errors. Missing ingredient lists, missing chunks of instructions, mistakes in the table of contents. So disappointing. I went to the publisher's website and downloaded the...more

A good companion to the book and movie. Over 300 recipes and lots of tips for eating a plant-strong diet--no meat, dairy and oil. Plenty of ideas and recipes for remaking favorites into healthier vegan dishes. The three recipes I have tried so far worked well. The "Cheesy" Potato Soup was delicious and hard to tell that it contained no cheese or dairy.
Here's a link to the recipes:
The reason I give it 3 stars instead of 4 is for the number of bad editing mistakes in the book--it comes with a sm...more

Another excellent plant-based cookbook. Recipes I've tried so far have all been very good and well received -- 1. Lotsa Vegetable Chowder, pg. 94..subbed frozen corn and mistakenly put the dill in with the other spices instead of at the end; still tasted great. 2. Grilled Portobello Mushrooms, pg. 173 and 3. Portobello Mushroom Tacos, pg. 137, yummy alternative to bean tacos. 4. Penne with Spicy Eggplant..a nice chunky sauce...I have extra that I will pair with farro or quinoa in place of pasta....more

Wow!! I have made at least 10 of the recipes in this book and have not come up with a fail yet! Moreover my entire family enjoys these recipes, including a very picky 5yo.
While I agree with author's point of view that a plant based lifestyle is healthy, I would still appreciate the addition of the nutritional information with the recipes (i.e. calories, fat, protein, etc.) I do not struggle with weight or health issues, but still like to have a general idea of my daily calorie/fat/protein intak...more

After watching the documentary and reading a couple books on plant-based nutrition, my husband and I splurged for this cookbook. The recipes are amazing and you can feel good about each and every one, nutritionally. Meat-free, dairy-free, oil-free, and there are many gluten-free recipes/suggested substitutions as well. We have been oil-free vegan for almost 2 months now and feel amazing. This cookbook is an excellent starter book for those who recently committed to a vegan lifestyle - recipes in...more
I think the folks rushed to publish this book and didn't really check the recipes, many mistakes throughout. However, they responded to reader feedback and released a corrected copy - make sure you get the 2nd edition! I've tried a few of the recipes and am very happy with the book. This is one I will be using often.
One note: if you are looking for a variety of salad dressings, pick up the original companion book for the film, the dressings are all in there.

After watching Forks over Knives documentary so glad there is a cookbook. Love Love Love this plant-based cookbook. Making lots of wonderful recipes. Great mixture of dishes: rice, pasta, grains.... Love the soups. Interesting anyone who wants to loose weight or just feel better you do not need to join WW or buy special programs of diet food . Watch Forks Over Knives Documentary. And change to Plant based eating... that simple.
Best, easiest cook book to follow and plenty of energy to clean up the messes afterwards. Wish there were more pictures But then I guess it would spoil the fun of the surprise of creating it your self. All these recipes are fresh, healthy, healing foods that are and has been bringing more energy and balance to my life! Thank you for writing this helpful price of art! I use these recipes everyday.
Eh - I loved the documentary. I love the basics at the start and envision myself cooking about half vegan/vegetarian meals. There are about half of the meals in here I know won't go over with my family -- but it's a great resource for the rest. Already made the black bean burgers with sweet corn relish. We GOBBLED it UP! Looking forward to using this in meal planning. Will be used at least once a week.
I heard about this book on the Red Radio podcast, and WOW - so far I've tried the tofu-based pesto and mayonnaise recipes which are delicious, easy, and so versatile! These alone have opened up a whole new world of vegan cooking to me - the book as a whole is going to revolutionise my diet. Not to mention impress dubious family members.
This one definitely rivals Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. Isa's desserts look phenomenal, per usual. I copied several recipes. I'm excited about a new option for vegan mac n cheese.
Liked a ton of the recipes in this one, but didn't actually cook out of it (yet). However, I'm planning coming back to it in a few weeks. Theme for December Supper Club, with a nod to the gift giving season is "Things That Are Wrapped." And,luckily, there is a whole section dedicated to Wraps and Spreads!
Great documentary. Picked up the cookbook from the library just to take a look. Rated it high because if does have some good stuff. Although I'm guessing its aimed more for beginner vegetarians/vegans. I didn't care for any of the recipes. I just don't eat that kind of "mainstream" food.
So many great recipes, I can't wait to try them out! I also loved that there were simple steps, that there was no fancy equipment needed (like specialized dough hooks, etc.) and that there were substitution notes for potentially hard-to-find ingredients.
Excellent range of recipes which taste great as well as bring healthy. The recipes which have a photo have a camera sign in the book but it can often take awhile to find where they are in the book. Photography is good.
It has a lot of great recipes but I found the recipes to be lacking in seasoning which can be a bit of a detraction if you are following the recipes exactly. I otherwise LOVED the book.
I am trying to ease my family into a plant based diet, but I am not ready for the true vegan way. Probably will never be willing to put broccoli in my guacamole.
Not impressed with the recipes in this book. I'm very interested in healthier eating, but the recipes we tried just didn't taste good.
The idea and the health plan are well explained. My husband is trying veganism and has dropped his cholesterol... :) but I want meat.
Plant strong! Almost uniformly excellent recipes. Highly recommended for all. Great for people considering going vegan or vegetarian.
Yes, this cookbook makes it easier to eat a plant based diet. If it weren't for the lack of bacon recipes it would have earned 5 stars. :)
$11.00 @ Costco! Are u kidding me! I have never been so surprised and excited n my life when I saw it! #PLANTSTRONGCONVERT!
I only made a couple of the recipes in this book and although I liked them I still prefer the versions with dairy and eggs.
Excellent! Very informative ... great read for anyone looking to improve their eating choices!
Great cookbook. Have made several recipes. I like that you can look for recipes by ingredient
Fantastic! A big help in moving to a diet based 100% on plant-based whole foods.
It's ok, none of the recipes jumped out at me, but they look pretty good, nonetheless
Good concepts to eat plant based food only. I'm going to try to introduce come plant based meals but I don't know if I can give up cheese!
