From the best-selling authors of The Changecomes a new cookbook based on Dr. Stoll s Immersion program for weight loss and better health. Imagine dishes that can reduce your cholesterol, lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, and decrease your odds of getting cancer, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, strokes, or a host of other all-too-common health problems. Here, in this new book, are over 150 recipes that can truly change your life for the better.
The book is divided into two parts. Part One begins with the journey taken by each author to develop such a cookbook. This section shares the plant-based food principles that have propelled their book The Changeto become a bestseller. This is followed by an overview of a plant-based diet, including its nutritional benefits and impact on weight control. Subsequent chapters provide important information on kitchen staples, cooking methods, food preparation techniques, and helpful guidelines on shopping for the best-quality foods and ingredients.
In Part Two, the authors share over 150 kitchen-tested recipes for delectable dishes. Included are satisfying breakfast choices, luscious dips and spreads, sensational soups and salads, satisfying bean dishes, hearty pilafs and other grain creations, and veggie favorites, topped off with a collection of fantastic desserts. Each recipe provides easy-to-follow directions that ensure success.
The recipes in this book look like I would really enjoy them. I haven’t tried any yet. If they taste as good as they sound I may bump this to 5 stars. I am gradually making my way to a plant based lifestyle and these may be the recipes I need to get me the rest of the way there!
The information in the beginning was great, although nothing too new for me anymore. The recipes weren’t super appetizing though. Only two recipes looked good out of the whole thing for me.
