The China Study Cookbook: Revised and Expanded Edition with Over 175 Whole Food, Plant-Based Recipes Paperback – June 5, 2018

This is my very favorite WFPB cookbook, and I have many of them, from all the "top people". I loved reading the other reviews, and I agree. These recipes use every day ingredients that you'll have in your pantry. The recipes are easy and very delicious. I haven't made one single recipe that I didn't like. I love how practical it is. There's a page on homemade jellies. And there's several pages devoted to just one veggie, like corn, or beets or green beans, with several ways to jazz up a veggie. There's a page for sauces, and ways to change up your mayo recipes. It's such a resource for me. It's my Go-To cookbook, always. The photos of the food are great! Thank you, LeAnne Campbell for this beautiful, wonderful cookbook!

If you are ready to eat to live and NOT live to eat, this book is for you. The recipes are easy and pretty good for not containing the naughty ingredients that we are accustom to consuming.

This is my go to cookbook for WFPB. Everything I’ve made is delicious and I’ve made a lot of the recipes. I like that the recipes call for things I have on hand like veggies, fruit, beans, and brown rice. It’s not asking me to buy vegan mayonnaise or other pre made products like other vegan cookbooks I unfortunately bought. Some recipes call for tofu. I might try them in the future. Right now I’m not interested in using tofu.I love the soups and stews. I’ve made the quick breads, one muffin recipe and one cookie recipe. All excellent. I don’t use raw cane sugar so I substituted for that. That’s the only thing I didn’t like but that is so minor and easy to switch up. I now make my own baked corn chips too! Thanks to the simple instructions found in the book.I also love the beautiful color pictures of the food! It makes me want to try the recipe. The pictures are very inviting. I can’t say enough about this cookbook. I highly recommend it!!!

Bought for recipes. Author spewed their opinions throughout that doesn't matter. Have to sift through garbage.

I have a lot of cookbooks. I enjoy reading them and looking at the pictures and daydreaming about food. But this cookbook is one I actually USE to make FOOD for my family! If I had to throw away all my cookbooks and only keep one, this is the one I'd choose to keep. It's useful and easy. I often use oil where she omits oil and make small substitutions. I have one vegan in my family, so this is a useful way to make vegan food - and then I add the dairy and meat other family members enjoy. If you're on the fence, I hope this helps!

This cookbook represents the culmination of more than a six million dollar extended study on what can be done to raise the health level of world population and specifically what can be done to raise the health level of the US population.An entire family has devoted itself towards the final product that can easily be regarded as this cookbook. To fully understand the ramifications of that statement please read the international best seller The China Study by T. Colin Campbell PhD and Thomas M. Campbell II, MD.The photographs shown here will give substance and meaning to those who read The China Study. The study itself gives meaning to the concept of a vegan diet.Therefore I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve their health.

I transitioned to a vegan diet about a month ago. It’s taken a few weeks to notice the difference and to get rid of the sugar cravings. The last few days I feel about 10 years younger – not bad for a 66 year old lady. I read the China Study years ago when it was first published so was aware of benefits of a plant based diet. Why I waited to long to make this change is beyond my understanding; except having a family that loved their meat probably influenced my choices. Although I don’t blame my family for my poor choices. Anyway, this cookbook is one of the best vegan cookbooks I have seen so far. Each recipe has a beautiful picture of the finished dish. I love to cook and can usually tell if a recipe is going to be good just by reading the ingredients. This morning I made the kale salad substituting currents for craisins and it was absolutely delicious. The section on vegan substitutions is very informative. I wasn’t aware there is a shelf stable tofu. Amazon carries it so I ordered some this morning. I am looking forward to trying the many beautiful recipes in this cookbook and highly recommend it to anyone who is wanting to make this healthy life-style change.

I have heard a lot of good things about the China Diet was looking for a source of recipes that include more plant-based foods and less added fat. I'm not sure we are ready to make a total leap into a completely vegan diet but this looks like a good start to ease into it. Since this cookbook was associated with the China Diet, I thought it would be more helpful but the main problem I see is that there is no nutritional breakdown for the recipes. I am going to have to do more study to make sure I will be getting enough calcium and protein. (She uses rice and almond "milk" which do not contain adequate calcium.) I should have read the author's credentials more carefully. I incorrectly assumed her PhD was in nutrition science and that she was a registered dietitian but that is not the case. I will have not tried any of the recipes yet but they sound interesting and the colorful pictures are appealing. The lack of nutrition facts is the main reason for the three stars. As a source of low fat, plant-based recipes, it's fine.
