After making the salt and oil restrictions all of that has improved and he luckily does not have to start taking blood pressure medicine at a young age.<br /><br />Personally I don't care if this movement shuns the word vegan. And i have now met some people who eat this way and because of it eventually did care about the ethical side! <br /><br />That being said i wasnt terribly impressed with this cookbook. Many of the recipes look pretty bland. Honestly i think i will mainly make isas desserts. For people who are trying to eat this way i recommend just adapting recipes you already have and like. I sub ww pastry flour for white inevery baking recipe, use applesauce in place of oil, and, saute in veg broth instead of oil, etc. pretty much every recipe I have adapted has worked. It kind of makes me sad that the few cookbooks devoted to this way of eating are so boring.<br /><br />I do like the blissful bites cookbook, which has a lot of no oil options etc which i would recommend to amey and anyone else. Tried and bored by forks over knives, engine 2, and happy herbivore cookbooks...<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886901506309063491.post-34979664655724110622012-10-05T06:31:44.874-07:002012-10-05T06:31:44.874-07:00Pretty cool Blog – thanks for putting up !!!Pretty cool Blog – thanks for putting up !!!Arina Georgehttp://www.oncologyandcancersurgeryhospitalindia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886901506309063491.post-48178682620627649732012-10-05T06:26:05.005-07:002012-10-05T06:26:05.005-07:00I tested for Isa's dessert chapter for this, a...I tested for Isa's dessert chapter for this, and I'm looking forward to my tester copy arriving so I can check out some of the recipes in the other chapters. I don't cook this way at all either, and while I try to limit oil to some extent, I also don't think it's healthy to go to extremes about it. I don't expect this to be a go-to book for me, but that being said, I tried a few things during testing that I never would have usually looked at, and I really enjoyed them! The zucchini bread was my hands-down favourite, and the chocolate chip cookies are great too. Who knows, maybe there are some other surprises in store for me!

It is a good book. I should probably have been more clear about that. I think it's some of the followers of this way of eating that irk me, not the books or the food.Joni Marie Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02205407456055236462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4886901506309063491.post-35813739775793810912012-10-04T22:55:22.549-07:002012-10-04T22:55:22.549-07:00Interesting review.

Also, my aunts eat this way, and I never know what the heck to cook for them. Maybe I should get at leastone cook book like this, so I can get some ideas.
