"Heart Healthy Pizza is a breakthrough guide to making nutritious plant-based pizzas. Mark Sutton will show you how to make your own delicious dough, mouth-watering sauces, and vegan cheeses. This cookbook will be a favorite for anyone looking for a healthier way to eat pizza." --- Neal Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine The Heart Healthy Pizza cookbook contains over 100 delicious no-added oil, plant-based recipes for making pizza. Through the imaginative use of grains (oats, quinoa, millet, and others) as well as legumes (such as chickpeas, black eyed peas, dal) and various vegetables (artichokes, carrots, corn, cauliflower...), unique "cheese-like" sauce recipes are made that range in taste and texture profile from a delicate velvety sauce to a custard firmness. Coupled with recipes for crusts (including gluten-free versions), several bottom sauces and total pizza concepts, this easy to use book will help anyone create scrumptious and delectable pizzas.

Product Description
About the Author
In his youth, Mark worked at two pizza parlors, and it was there that his initial interest in making pizza began. Several years later, he became vegetarian, and after watching a friend effortlessly make pizzas at home for a couples dinner party, became re-focussed on learning to do the same himself in a non-restaurant environment. After going vegan, Mark began exploring making totally plant-based pizzas. During this period he came to the conclusion that a cookbook based on these recipes would help vegetarians kick the cheese need. The path and his approach changed considerably when learning of Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn's peer-reviewed research demonstrating that a no-added fat plant-based diet can not only reverse heart disease, but in theory, prevent it. Mark decided to incorporate this knowledge into his recipes and make them all truly "heart healthy." Mark has been employed as the Visualizations Coordinator for two NASA Earth Satellite Missions, a freelance interactive multimedia computer consultant, an organic farmer, and head photographer. He's developed media published in several major magazines and shown internationally on network broadcasts, DVD's, websites, and managed/edited a cookbook. Mark has produced work for two Nobel Prize winners (on global climate change) and helped create UN Peace Medal Award-winning high school curriculum. He's currently the editor of the Mad Cowboy e-newsletter, has been a vegetarian for 20 years and vegan the past 10. Mark's an avid nature photographer, gardener, environmentalist, and is single. He can be reached at msutton@hearthealthypizza.com

Pizza for Cardiac Athletes
12 Jun 2012
By Rick Strong
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I dropped dead on a tennis court (and was lucky enough to be playing against a team with a cardiologist who did world class cpr for 12 minutes until a rescue squad arrived to shock me back to life). It took me about 30 seconds post-op from my bypass to adopt Caldwell Esselstyn's vegan cardiac disease reversal program. Though I ate a "good" diet most of the time, I was addicted to cheese pizzas for my whole (almost foreshortened) life. This book is a treasure. The visuals of the pizza are appetizing and valid relative to the finished product. The taste of the recipes I have undertaken is great. The nutrition is miraculous for a so-called comfort food. Thank you, Mark Sutton, for your tour de force collection of no oil vegan gourmet pizza. Incidentally, I run 10 k's, complete duathlons, and play USTA team tennis at the age of 64 on the Esselstyn diet.

tried a few recipes so far and really enjoying this cookbook

My husband is much pickier than I am (especially when it comes to pizza) and even he has enjoyed the recipes from this book. Love being able to make pizza with more wholesome ingredients that is actually healthy. Although there are some more traditional recipes in book I wouldn't recommend buying this if you want pizza that tastes like a local pizza parlor although if you want to try some cool variations on pizza this is a great cookbook. Never would have tried an oat flour (oats blended to flour texture) and it doesn't taste like a traditional pizza crust but I love the flavor and texture of this crust. I also like being able to play around with the toppings and including some of my favorite toppings from on one pizza. The pizza I made tonight had an oat crust, traditional pizza sauce, nutritional yeast "cheese" and roasted garlic and mushrooms, brocolli, onions, and a couple different peppers (and this was easy because I used thawed frozen veggies) and it was awesome. Cover, etc does look a little homegrown rather than something you would see from a major publisher but content it is really good and great value for the money. Great for vegetarians, vegans, non-dairy and gluten free as well.

Thumbs Up from Both Vegans & Carnivores
3 Aug 2012
By Amy
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a vegan who avoids added oil and loves anything healthy. I'm married to a carnivore who runs out the door at the mention of fake cheese or tofu. The pizza I made from this cookbook was the first time we've ever eaten the same pizza - and enjoyed it. He loved the oregano-millet-sunflower seed cheese and the parmesan cheese substitutes.
The recipes and combinations are so creative, I've never seen anything like it in another of my other vegan cookbooks or blogs. The recipes are easy and rely upon combining interesting (but not ridiculously exotic) ingredients and laying flavors. If you're questioning whether you really need another cookbook for your collection - you need this one!
Highly recommended and worth every penny!
