Discover Delicious, Whole-Food Plant-Based Recipes to Enjoy Every Day with Forks Over Knives: Flavor!

Crys: I've made 13 recipes so far. The potato cheese, Mexican Chopped Sald (a fave), Lake Tahoe Chickpea Salad Sandwiches (another fave but prefer it as a wrap), Cajun Kidney Bean Sloppy Joes, Sweet Potato Tortilla Soup, Caldo Verde: Portuguese Potato and Kale Soup, Stuffed Zucchini Boats with Israeli Couscous and Parsley Tahini Sauce, Sweet Potato Enchilada Stacks, London Curried Shepherd's Pie, Smoky Black Bean Nachos, and Potato Panade with Garlic and Fresh Thyme. I liked them all.

I am feeling fantastic, my digestive system is happy, I have more energy, my resting heart rate is lower, and I feel full and satisfied. The food is good. I notice that the Zucchini Rollatini Stuffed with Quinoa and Chickpeas mentions zero of the quinoa in the recipe but so far that is the only problem I've run into and I'm going to try to make the recipe anyways. The recipes have been pretty easy for the most part. I usually only stick to simple quick recipes but I am trying to push myself out of my comfort zone and I'm able to do that with this cookbook, though it still has the quick recipes too. Substitutions have been easy. Definitely a purchase that is making this transition to a whole foods...

KatieScarlett: I read the view reviews for this cookbook and was a little worried about ordering it. I do like international foods however so I did order it and I was not disappointed. This cookbook is fantastic and the recipes aren’t that hard nor are the ingredients that hard to find as other reviewer‘s have stated. I am very pleased with it! I am a beginner to intermediate cook as well, but the recipes aren’t that difficult. Fantastic if you appreciate flavor, variety, or international cuisine. American cuisine is also represented well in this book.

Jewelbug: The recipes are beautiful, I like the pictures and the recipes seem easy to follow, they seem to have things I can get at my local grocery store without having to traipse around for odd ingredients. What I find 'missing' in both my FOK cookbooks is Nutrition Facts. I want to know how much fat, carbs, sugar, sodium, a recipe has. These 2 cookbooks would be so close to perfect if they had that information. Take Dates for example. She uses 'Date Paste' in a lot of recipes. "Despite these benefits, one cup of dates has around 29 mg of fructose and a high glycemic index, which can increase blood sugar levels significantly". High glycemic index for anyone is not good!
I completely understand plant based is a nearly perfect diet, and heals things like diabetes and other diseases, but that does not mean information in cookbooks should be lacking. I I haven't actually cooked anything yet. I am keeping it because I want to try some of the recipes for salads and other things. I just won't be trying the "noodle" dishes unless I decide to trade them for "veggie noodles". I would like to recipes that have 'alternate' options and substitutions.

Amazon Customer: I wish there were a few more kid-friendly and simpler recipes. Great recipe book for those following a WFPBNO diet.

AnneP: Just getting ready for a trial run with Whole Food, Plant Based eating and this cookbook is exceptional. Using various spice blends and ingredients, every recipe we have tried (10 so far) is scrumptious, and I have flagged many more from different cultures that I have eaten but never made. I like that the quantities for vegetables are expressed in both size or pounds and cup/tbsp measurements. Any recipe that is part of a different one is cross referenced by page number -very efficient. The author has gone to a great deal of effort, and her personal notes on the recipe origins are interesting too.

LeanneLeanne: I love the original Forks over Knives cookbook and use it a lot (although I wish it had color photos of recipes!), so I eagerly pre-ordered this new book. It has really interesting mix of recipes with unique flavor combinations, and I'm really happy I purchased it.

The book is divided up into the following sections:

* Breakfast

* Appetizers

* Salads

* Burgers, Sandwiches, Tacos, and Other Handheld Meals

* Warm Veggie Sides

* Soups and Stews

* Baked Entrees

* Pasta and Noodles

* Grains and Beans

* Bread and Crackers

* Desserts

* Dips and Sauces

In keeping with the Forks over Knives philosophy, all of the recipes are whole-foods, plant-based, with no use of animal products. They are also oil-free, and mostly use only natural sweeteners like date paste, although a few of the dessert recipes call for whole cane sugar.

When I say that the book has some unique flavor profiles, what I mean is that the author Darshana Thacker puts things together in ways that are different from your traditional recipes. For example, the French toast recipe is Polenta French Toast with Maple-Glazed...
