The PlantPure Nation Cookbook: The Official Companion Cookbook to the Breakthrough Film...with over 150 Plant-Based Recipes

Per usual the Campbell Family, et. al. are in fine form encouraging the world to "Eat Plants". Kim's cookbook companion to the soon to be released "PlantPure Nation" film documentary is a wonderful compliment to the growing arsenal of Plant-Based WholeFoodist cookbooks coming to the forefront. (Another of my personal favorites are the two 'China Study' cookbooks from Kim's sister-in-law LeAnne Campbell.) I absolutely LOVE the full color photographs accompanying each recipe to show you that eating plantpure is a tasty, flavorful, eye-appealing endeavor -- very much contrary to the belief that somehow eating plants won't taste good, or usually looks like 'cardboard' or 'wall-paper paste'. The colors and international variety of 'comfort food' recipes, show the cornucopia of plant-based whole-foods available to those who want to eat plantpure. 'Kim's Hints' mentioned with select recipes help the home cook embrace their kitchen with ease and simplicity. Her recipes are filled with plant ingredients that are readily available and affordable for any newbie plantpure cook, as well as, easy to prepare plantbased substitutions for disease promoting animal-derived products. Her Tofu-Cashew Mayonnaise is a staple in my pantry and a base foundation for many wonderful oil-free dressings & sauces. Cooking for a PlantPure Family is not so expensive, difficult or scary after-all! Interspersed through the cookbook are excerpts from the movie encouraging you to get on board the PlantPure Nation movement to change the way our government and local communities 'do' food. Personally hailing from a true 'food desert' Desert community, with an over-abundance of 'fast-food joints' and expensive corporate restaurant franchises make plantpure shopping difficult and greatly limits our families' local options to obtain a variety of affordable fresh produce for our table. Mainly because, ALL of our local communities food is trucked in from great distances with many of the local residents relying on a handful of distance-challenged, high-priced chain groceries, the Colorado River Food Bank, one 'Country Health Market' for specialty items/special orders, or gratefully, obtained from the newest source - an economical and increasingly popular volunteer run BountifulBaskets.org Food Co-Op -- to supply us all with a healthy kitchen pantry. Kim's recipes, highlight simple, easy to prepare, plantpure 'peasant foods' like beans - brown rice and home-made whole grain breads, and an abundance of recipes for affordable carrots, broccoli - cabbage & kale. Personally, we cut our food bill in half after transitioning to a plantpure lifestyle and Kim's recipes are a wonderful addition for any struggling plant-hungry family. The PlantPure Nation Cookbook will be an active resource at our Mojave Desert PlantBased WholeFoodist Society Recipe Exchange Meet-up group. I highly recommend this PlantPure Nation Cookbook to any plantpure newbie, highly seasoned plant-based home cook or those Vegan's looking for more oil-free plant-based whole foods recipes. Eating PlantPure never tasted so good! Relax & Enjoy Life ~ Eat & Drink Plants :)

First, a bit of context: We are a carnivorous bunch and eat out frequently. I didn't grow up with many home cooked meals and didn't really know where to start. I grew wary of five-star rated online recipes, as they were daunting and costly when they inevitably ended up in the trash. Because, after all that labor and capital, everyone still had to eat. One fateful evening, my husband and I viewed the documentary from this book on netflix, and decided to purchase the cookbook. There are a good stock of vegan low fat recipes, and although we aren't totally vegan, we are eating significantly better as a result of this book. The pizza crusts are fabulous, as well as the black bean burgers burgers. The black bean burgers are so simple, cheap and taste like an actual meat burger. The cauliflower buffalo bites were OK in my opinion, but my husband loves them. There are a lot of bean options, which are cheap. I never liked beans and actually thought them disgusting to cook with. Now, with this book, a bean dish is my go-to meal. If you have kids or are a "grazer", keep with the tip to prep a lot of options to have on hand, as suggested by the author. All in all, a great book for anyone who needs to learn how to cook!

A friend recommended the video on Netflix and this book. Glad I bought it. As we are aging my husband and I are facing some health issues and our diets could be contributing to it. I think that if food doesn’t taste good, why eat it. But if it actually harms you, don’t eat it. The recipes in this book are easy and taste wonderful. My digestion is way better after eating them. We are not vegetarians so many of the ingredients are unfamiliar but our local grocery store carries most of it and Amazon carries the rest. Slowly I’m trying most of the recipes and have not been disappointed yet!

This book contains many attractive recipes. It is rare that a no oil plant-based cookbook contains no oil whole wheat bread, but this book has two recipes for no-knead whole wheat bread. It would be nice to have a recipe for whole wheat tortilla. The no oil bread and wraps such as the Ezekiel brand cost too much. But the recipes are higher in fat. Dr. T. Collin Campbell endorsed this book. But according to his nutritional guidelines at Cornell website, the food such as nuts, avocados, soys (tofu and tempeh), coconut milk, and tahini should be consumed INFREQUENTLY and sparingly. This book does not follow that guidelines. More than 60% of the entrees have one or more of those ingredients. So this book is good for healthy people, but not for people who follow Drs. Caldwell Esselstyn and Dean Ornish d trying to manage heart diseases. The target of their diet is very low fat of 10%. My guess the fat range in this book is 15-20%.

As a family we have adopted a Whole Food Plant Based lifestyle since March 2015. We achieved many positive results: reversed diseases, lost weight, have more energy and just healthier in general. I didn't struggle to adopt this diet because I am from a South American country where I grew up eating like this. But this book would be very helpful to the traditional North American who grew up eating packaged and fast food. The American who only knows how to assemble food (the one who adds a canned soup, packaged seasoning and chicken breasts and calls it dinner) would highly benefit from this book. This is also a great book to help those joining the WFPB journey and don't know where to start. The photos are wonderfully beautiful! I bought this book for my Mom so she could take it back to Brazil and show her friends who are still debating if they should go WFPB. I will buy me a copy just because the recipes are simple, creative, delicious and the photos are colorful, inspirational and will definitely help me on those days when I don't know what to cook. :)

Really tasty recipes. I use this cookbook often

Wissenschaftlich fundiertes Kochbuch, erstaunlich leckere Rezepte, natürlich gewöhnungsbedürftig da wenig Fett verwendet wird und keine Milch da wir schon vegan leben nur ein kleiner Schritt

Parmi ma collection de livres de cuisine vegan c'est vraiment mon préféré. J'ai déjà fait plusieurs recettes dont le gâteau de carottes (délicieux) et plusieurs des plats et sauces du livre et je les ai tous appréciés. Il m'arrive de corriger quelques recettes en sucrant un peu moins (comme pour la mayonnaise) mais parmi tous mes livres de cuisine c'est celui que j'utilise le plus. Une référence !

To be healthy you have to know what to eat - This is the right tool to craft out that road map. Excellent & easy to read - Eat right & eat to live long

Von allen Kochbüchern, die sich dem "whole foods plant based lifestyle" verschrieben haben, ist dieses meines Erachtens das Beste. Die Sachen schmecken lecker, sind unkompliziert und schnell zu machen und sind familientauglich
