I love the diet this book portrays. Its not a fad diet, but emphasizes balance. But not just equal amounts of foods ... it shows that plant-based foods are the most healthy and thus should take up most of your plate, with animal foods taking up a smaller role, unlike the typical "American" diet.
Note ... I haven't tried any of the recipes yet but will update this review when I have.

I haven't made it through all the recipes, but this was recommended to us by friends and I've gone back to it again thanks to you -- Jodi & Peter. I like the idea behind the book - less meat, more veggies and grains. The salmon recipe is awesome, as is the quinoa salad.
This cookbook from the American Institute for Cancer Research highlights their meal pattern plan, the New American Plate, formulated from the evidence base for diet and cancer prevention. A great all-around cookbook with abundant healthy eating tips.
Lots of vegetables, but a little boring. It is healthy and has nice pictures, however the food as described was plain. This book could use some spice.

I highly recommend this cookbook. Everything I have ever made from it has been easy to make and delicious.
This book has some great ideas to help you get more fruits and vegetables into your diet. The main drawback is that many of the recipes require a lot of time and work.
You can get many of the recipes online at www.aicr.org. I highly recommend this website.

I really like the recipes and healthy eating concepts presented in this book.
Very informative, great recipes. We liked the stuffed peppers so far. I thought the food philosopy was intriguing and I was inspired to visit the ACRI website and now get recipes in my inbox from them!
It has healthy and delicious recipes and full page color pictures of the recipes. It's a fantastic cookbook!
Recipes with meat more as a side dish, very good, best diet for the environment also.
Finally, a book of healthy recipes that actually look good and I would eat!
