I literally want to make everything in this cookbook and I actually think I will! That never happens when I get a cookbook!
If you are looking to add more plant-based foods to your diet and cut back on oils, there are so many simple ideas here! I’ve tried just a few so far and they were easy and delicious.

I was really excited to pick up a copy of this from the library. I was expecting something along the lines of the Happy Herbivore or the Forks Over Knives cookbooks or even Dreena Burton. Instead, this book is much more what the title implies--a book of recipes to prevent and reverse heart disease. What that means is that the recipes at least seem from reading them (since I didn't actually try cooking any of them) very austere. No nuts, in addition to the little refined oil. Little salt, sugar, etc. And LOTS of gluten and oatmeal. I can't have either, so while I commend the authors for healthy recipes, the breakfast section was almost totally useless to me, as it was primarily oatmeal recipes. And many of the entrees, the loafs and burgers and such, were also oatmeal-dependent. That's fine. Oatmeal is extremely nutritious, and there are plenty of people who can eat it. But I can't, even gluten-free oats, and so the recipes just mostly frustrated me, in addition to not looking very tasty. I'm going to take this back to the library so someone who needs the cookbook can use it, and I'm going to go back to some of my whole-foods, plant-based cookbooks like the ones I mentioned above. It was worth a try. Just not worth a buy (for me).

Great stuff - my partner has some heart issues and also needs to lose weight. I need to lose weight and have diabetes. So the recipes from here are invaluable.
On my easy access cook book shelf - for easy reference unlike others which are for inspiration only now.
