5.0 out of 5 starsGet this book if you are busy!!
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2017
I've purchased all of Dr. Fuhrman's cookbooks, even the Drop 10 in 20 PDF from his website (which has some quick and easy recipes that are great as well) and all of them have their merits. The previous cookbook book (200 recipes) has more complicated recipes that are also have their place when you want to step it up. But this one has microwave recipes!! Which I think is great when you don't feel like cooking or you just don't feel like eating what you have already planned for the week. Get them all! I've lost 5 lbs already and I've only been on this Nutritrian diet for 2 weeks!

3.0 out of 5 starsWell organized, recipes uninspiring
Reviewed in the United States 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 : “Artichoke and tomato sauce dinner”, 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.

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 on May 27, 2019
Verified Purchase
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.

I love this book becasue it has lots of good recipes that I can make easily and I know the ingredients are what I need. I have been vegan for a while and there are lots of vegan cookbooks out there but some add lots of sugar or fat and then they aren't healthy. This book is different.

I have been following Dr. Joel Fuhrman for many years. I am happy to report that his recipes have improved greatly over time. Some of his recipes on his member center can be complicated (though excellent) but it is nice to have a collection of quick, easy but also tasty recipes in one book.

I don't know that I agree with the quick and easy part of this, but Dr. Fuhrman does have some good recipes in here. The work is in the preparation and the purchasing of the good food to prepare. If you are used to Dr. Fuhrman's recipes, then you already understand that there is prep time in making his recipes. Still it is a good book.

5.0 out of 5 stars True to its title: Easy, healthy and delicious recipes
Reviewed in the United States 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.
