My interest in food and healthy lifestyles led me to see the documentary “Forks Over Knives.” Since I enjoyed the documentary so much I wanted to read the book. The book parallels the documentary about the benefits of a plant based diet and it contains 125 great recipes.

Most of the recipes are quick and easy. I‘ve tried a couple, “Rip’s Big Bowl” and “Yamadillas.” I like both dishes and plan to try many more.

The feature film Forks Over Knives examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in incorporating more plant-based meals in their diet. This book would be a good introduction to plant-based meals.
