This is the first physician-authored vegan cookbook, featuring 125 recipes for reversing diabetes, improving cholesterol and blood pressure, and permanent weight loss. In Dr. Neal Barnard's Get Healthy, "Go Vegan Cookbook", the country's leading diabetes team weighs in on America's most popular dietary trend: veganism. The cookbook is based on a two-year study conducted by Dr. Barnard, which showed that a vegan diet more effectively controls type-2 diabetes. In fact, it's also beneficial for weight loss, reversing heart disease, and many other conditions. Now, Dr. Barnard and nutritionist Robyn Webb offer easy, delicious vegan meals to improve your health. With the new dietary programme, not only does diabetes come under better control than ever-sometimes even disappearing altogether-weight falls, too. Cholesterol plummets, and long lost energy returns. All this with a culinary approach that is quick, easy, and delicious. Featuring 125 flavourful recipes, readers will find all-occasion dishes that use ordinary ingredients and take little effort. There's plenty of familiar dishes emphasising vegetables, fruits, pasta, beans, and whole grains. Mediterranean influences will be strongly in evidence, while meats, dairy products, and oils will be noticeably absent. All recipes are free of animal products, are low fat, and have a low-to-moderate glycemic index. There are recipes for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, snacks, desserts, and entertaining. Recipes include: On-the-Go Breakfast Sandwiches, Cinnamon Swirl Oatmeal, Hummus Pizzas, Pretty Stuffed Peppers, Creamy White Bean and Artichoke Dip, Sweet Potato Fries and Black Bean Cakes with Mango Salsa.

This recipe book does not fail. The recipes are easy to follow for just about anyone from beginner to confident cooks. As someone who has lived in Canada, the UK and Germany, all ingredients that are called for in the recipes can be easily found. Nothing complicated and all recipes I have tried are very tasty. My husband's favourite is the Cassoulet, we have it at least twice a month! And to answer a question from the comments, yes, there is comprehensive nutritional information for each recipe. If you have read any of Dr. Barnard's other books, this book will nicely round things off so you can put his great advice into practice!

The recipes in this book are great, the only reason I haven't given it five stars is because it's not great for someone cooking on their own, as generally the recipes serve around 6 people. Still would recommend it for some inspiration for healthy eating.

Many people believe that anyone aiming to lose weight or just live a healthier lifestyle can do no better than adopt a vegan diet, and this book explains why. As you would expect with the author being a doctor, the book contains well-researched information and evidence to advocate the health benefits of a vegan diet. The recipes are simple and easy to understand with the methods usually including no more than four steps, and most contain 300 calories or less per serving.

Great book,ideas for a beginner are clear.
Had a bit of a struggle sorting some American food names,especially as I then have to translate into Portuguese !!
Still, the science behind the book is so good, and very readable.
Our exploration came as a result of cardiac problems,others who want to explore this easy way of healing, should also try The Rave diet and Lifestyle,by Mike Anderson.Both books together give a wide range of help and advice as well as food ideas.The RAVE Diet & Lifestyle - 3rd Edition

Dr Neal Barnard is a truly wonderful guy. His efforts to help people make the best of their lives through the replacement of our sickening Western meat'n'dairy-based diet with a plant-based one should win him the Nobel Peace Prize. Buy the book, give it a good read, then enjoy all the tasty and healthful recipies! You will never look back.

I bought it for my vegetarian teenage daughter, I believe the recipes are good but she's not tried them all yet.

This is a sister book to Food for Life, and the following comments duplicate my review on that book as they are all applicable to this book.
The additional point I would like to make is that this is a less detailed view on supporting facts to going vegan and the benefits of doing so. It is easier to read, and the recipes I think a little more adventurous.
Following the review of Food for Life
Found this book very informative, and in general not make sweeping statements were not able to be supported by scientific facts supported in the published papers. I have not followed up all those papers to look at the detail that would guess that somebody would have done.
Most interesting read, very helpful taking this step, generally very good. I definitely recommend to others.

Very informative and inspirational
Easy reading, keeping the scientific jargon to a minimum, but without insulting the intelligence of the reader. Like all of Dr Barnard's books, it's a kick-start to good health.
