The China Study All-Star Collection: Whole Food, Plant-Based Recipes from Your Favorite Vegan Chefs

I have used this cookbook for several years -- I have made almost everything. I bought this for my sister since she started looking at the recipes and was requesting so many of them that I got the book for her. She loved all the recipes from this book that I have made when she visited.

I really appreciate having this cookbook in my collection. It contains recipes from authors I'm already familiar with like: Dreena Burton, Del Sroufe, Ani Phyo, and Lindsay Nixon. And ones I'm just beginning to admire via this book like Heather Crosby. This is a well rounded cookbook containing many gluten free, soy free, raw and cooked options. Theres everything from baked goods, breakfasts, appetizers, burgers, tacos, and desserts (in addition to soups, salads, sides and entrees). Almost every recipe is accompanied with a beautiful photograph. Simple, fast recipes for days you just want a healthy meal on the table quickly and slightly more complicated recipes you would like to tackle on a weekend. There are also tips and variations for many recipes. Certainly there is something to appeal to everyone.I made the Creamy Broccoli and Red Pepper Macaroni as part of dinner the other night (recipe by Heather Crosby) - this received rave reviews and is great served warm or cold as a left over the next day. This would be great for a picnic or potluck. You would never know this is oil free!If you already own cookbooks by some of the authors listed above you may notice some repeats, but don't shy away. There are many new things to try. I've bookmarked the blueberry pie chia parfait, zucchini and summer squash muffins (gluten free), the festive kale salad, and peppermint chocolate chunk ice cream.I definitely recommend this book.Update: I've also, made theAlmond cardamom cream chia pudding with fresh strawberries and hemp seeds - good but I like some other chia puddings more. It seemed a little too thick for my liking and will be easy to adjust next time. But the hemp seeds are brilliant!Savory Mushroom stronganoff - this is a five star meal for sure and will be in regular rotation at my house! The only substitution I made was using corn starch to thicken the sauce and gluten free pasta. This is my favorite recipe so far!Kale Salad with walnuts and cranberries, with the maple vinaigrette DELICIOUS!!! Simple and so satisfying - great unique salad when you want something a little different from the norm.Cauliflower steaks with sweet pepper sauce- I added some fennel seeds to the sauce and served it with mashed potatoes, this is a serious meal. It kinda reminds me of stuffed peppers. So good!!

HI, in my opinion, this is a must have book on the kitchen shelf. So many mouth watering recipes, all I can say is this is what I have been looking for, so many lovely illustrations. Lots of meals to try! Buy it and you will be hooked, also will learn so much about the "stuff" people are eating. Cooking this way is a lifestyle. No one should tell you what or how to eat, but please either purchase this or rent at the library before you get yourself one to learn all about a healthy way to eat, eating real food, not chemicals. I have so much respect in the highest regard for all of these folks here, Forks Over Knives, Chef AJ and more. So informative and a lovely way to cook real food and feel wonderful. Check it out for yourself, form your own opinion, and keep an open mind. That is all one could ask of another.My personal story is one of upset stomach always, pushing 200 pounds, sick, headaches and more. About five years ago I started with not eating meat, then no dairy, now no sugar salt or oil. I am a plant based person. I am down to 150, feel wonderful, healthy, sleep better, and I am one seasoned lady! :) I could go on and on, but this choice is such a personal one, and I respect that. Everyone is so busy working to keep the food on the table and the roof over the head that sometimes there is no room for reading labels, and knowing what is going on. I was there, but no more. I hope at some point everyone can take a step back and realize what is happening to our food, it just isn't the same as long ago. So sad. If you read this far, thank you, I wish you health and happiness in this year of 2015.

Of all of our whole-food plant-based cookbooks, so far, this is the one we use the most. It has recipes by several well-known advocates. So far, what we have tried has been very good. I'm the type of cook who always makes several changes to recipes. In addition to being plant-based, I also have many other restrictions, due to health requirements - gluten-free, avoid most grains, including wheat, soy-free, and have very few veges, in the cabbage family. I have found that most plant based cookbooks are very heavy on the foods which I avoid. This book has a broad variety & you don't see the same recipes which are repeated in most plant-based cookbooks. My kids are the types of kids who are not at all interested in following a plant-based diet, yet they have enjoyed every recipe I have made from this book.Some of our favorite recipes are: Pho, by Ani Phyo (everyone in the family has at least 3 bowls, so we multiply the recipe); Pineapple not-so-fried-rice, by Christy Morgan, Pumpkin chia pudding, by Dreena Burton; and cornbread. There are many recipes which we are looking forward to trying. Each recipe has a photo. Most look very simple to prepare, yet good enough to serve to guests.

Have been a vegetarian over 40 years. This book has healthy easy to make recipes. All ingredients readily available. I purchased it after borrowing a copy from the library which says something. Great for beginners or more experienced cook looking for new recipes.

Dr Campbell is so scientifically knowledgeable, I read the China Study as well. The Campbell family share many easy and wonderful recipes.
