I love this book. Every recipe has a full page picture. Every recipe is easy to follow and quick to make. I love how healthy everything is, and how he explains nutrition in the beginning.
I have three of his cookbooks and the illustrations in this one make it my favorite.

3.0 out of 5 starsWell organized, recipes uninspiring
Reviewed in the United States šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø on July 31, 2018
Already health conscious, I’m easing into a mostly plant based diet. I’m looking for some inventive recipes to help make the transition. For the most part I do not care for this cook book. It is laid out well but the recipes are not very inspiring to me.

First the good:
• introduction gives philosophy info on nutrition/plant based diet
• ingredients list is easy to read & directions are easily understood
• calories and nutritional information is listed for every recipe
• attractive color photos of all recipes
• meals/recipes listed before each section with page number makes locating recipes quick & easy

What I don’t care for:
• not enough main dish recipes and some have meat in ingredients
• very basic recipes, most unimaginative and some unappealing

There are recipes for oatmeal, smoothies homemade salad dressings, and salads. These recipes make up half of the content. The other half is dips, soups, main dishes and desserts. The main dish recipes are broken into 3 sections:
(1) vegetables and or vegetables with beans, (2) grain based recipes,
(3) recipes that include meat.

Many recipes are not very appealing or are so simple you hardly need this book to guide you. Example: a main dish recipe : ā€œArtichoke and tomato sauce dinnerā€, ingredients: 12 oz frozen artichokes, 6 cloves of garlic & 1 cup of tomato sauce. - Hmm. No, thanks.

While this cookbook is laid out well and does have some helpful information and a few ok recipes, most of its content isn't anything I couldn’t have thought of myself. There are numerous more imaginative vegan/vegetarian meals that can be found for free on internet recipe sites that are more thoughtful.

This is a book which gives you a lifetime of healthy eating habits that will reverse diseases, boost energy, and promote longevity! The recipes are simple, but the combination of foods are powerful.

The book focuses on healthy, nutrient-rich recipes that are quick and easy to prepare. I appreciate the emphasis on whole, unprocessed foods and the inclusion of tips and strategies for making healthy eating a sustainable part of my daily routine. The recipes are delicious and satisfying, and I've already incorporated several of them into my weekly meal plans. Overall, I would highly recommend "Eat to Live Quick and Easy Cookbook" to anyone looking to improve their health and well-being through dietary changes. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to eat healthier without sacrificing flavor or convenience.

5.0 out of 5 stars True to its title: Easy, healthy and delicious recipes
Reviewed in the United States šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø on May 3, 2021

We are on a whole-foods plant-based diet as a family since December for health, animal well being, and environmental reasons. We've seen amazing results in very little time. I am an experienced cook and have numerous cookbooks. I am very picky about additional cookbooks to add to my bookshelf.

I heard interview with Dr. John Furhman at this year's Food Revolution Network annual summit and became a fan instantly. I received this book yesterday and made a meal today using his recipes. What a hit! I made 1) Mushroom, Onion and Pesto Pizza (page 233), and 2) a salad with Strawberries Balsamic Dressing (page 67).

Almost every page I turned to, I want to make that recipe. The recipes are simple yet refreshing and will add tremendous interest/twist/fun factor to whole-foods plant-based cooking. Many of my other plant-based cookbooks seem to have similar concept. Dr. Furhman's cookbook is much more "with it" and interesting.

The book does have some recipes that have a small amount of meat. It does not bother me at all. I can easily omit or substitute. Dr. Furhman made it clear that in these recipes, meat is a minor player to complement plant based ingredients.

If there is one disappointment - and it is not a deal breaker whatsoever - it is that the picture quality is not as high. I have over 100 cookbooks and am used to seeing spectacular food pictures. Again, I would still give this book a 5 star for the quality of its recipes. I am an experience cook and do not depend on superb pictures to judge a recipe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Goes great with the prevention and reverse heart disease book. 2 books saved my life.
Reviewed in the United States šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø on May 27, 2019

Loved this book. Bought this book with his other book on reverse heart disease. These two books changed my life forever. It's been just about 2 months on this plan and it's been a dream. I lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks without exercising. I ate according to the book and I was super strict because I was tired of getting tingling, poor blood circulation in my hands that for the last couple of years seem to never go away. Though a couple of years ago I was able to make it go way but after eating ice cream a few days in a row it came back strong and I couldn't get it to go away again. It was many many months of the tingling every minute of my life when I said I don't want to think about dying at age 48, so I got 3 books, 2 from Joel Fuhrman and I love his books. So informative, easy to understand, and simple to do. The recipes from this book are just that easy and delicious. After you read why to eat this why this book explains what to eat and how much plus all of those wonderful recipes. I made so far only the shredded carrots and that was awesome and delicious! Looking forward to trying many more. I read his other book 1st then a couple if weeks ago I started reading this one. It's an awesome book. The details of what to eat each day are written in this book then 131 recipes to help you make them. I needed this information to be able to succeed in fully reversing heart disease and all other illnesses. I've never felt better in my life. I fit into my clothes that I haven't wore in 20 years. All my clothes are big on me. I have to get a new wobedrobe. My blood pressure use to be 140/93. After 1 1/2 months I checked it and it was 106/77. How great is that! Plus I feel great too.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Quick and Easy" is a great resource for anyone, Nutritarian or not.
Reviewed in the United States šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø on April 28, 2018
Verified Purchase
I have been Nutritarian for awhile now and love finding new ways to enhance my plant-based diet. I have Dr. Fuhrman's Eat to Live and the first Eat to Live Cookbook. Both have some very good recipes, tips and information on the Nutritarian Lifestyle. This new Quick and Easy Cookbook has taken it all to a great new level. First of all, it is beautiful. There are 131 recipes on 263 pages; that means a wonderful, full-color photo for each recipe. You know just what is it supposed to look like and the photography is first rate. It is divided into 11 Sections from Breakfasts to Desserts. Sprinkled throughout are TIPs that educate about Nutritarian eating and each recipe has the per-serving nutrition information if you need that. I have tried several of the recipes and enjoyed them all, including Berry "Yogurt", Ginger Almond Dressing, Quick Avocado Dressing, Super Simple Hummus, and Lemony Mushroom Quinoa. I'm approaching the Soups and Stews section in a "Julie&Julia" fashion, making one a week! So far, we've enjoyed Buenas Noches Black Bean Soup and Carrot and Red Lentil Soup. Both are delicious. I find this book a real improvement over his first cook book, at least for my husband and me. The recipes have no pretense of being fussy or gourmet and they come together, well, quick and easy! I would recommend this to anyone who is trying to eat Nutritarian, plant based or just want to eat heathier.
