   All of the recipes I’ve made (20 so far) are all good. Do you think apple juice, lemon, oil and vinegar would taste good with mixed vegetables? Neither did I until I made it. EVERY single one has been excellent and outstanding. I recommend this cookbook to the novice, the beginner, the expert!

   4.0 out of 5 stars
   An inexpensive resource for heart-healthy cooking
   The book is a bargain. It’s a few years old and doesn’t reflect the latest culinary trends, but its recipes call for readily available basic foods that are easy to prepare.

   A good, fairly standard cookbook with a variety of tasty recipes.
   First, my biases. I’m starting a new diet that’s along the lines of Esselstyn, Ornish and McDougall (emphasis on plant-based diet and excising meat, eggs, dairy, oils and other…

   I’m not sure if there are different versions of this cookbook, but the one I bought is the size of a paperback novel. That makes it quite hard to use in the kitchen, because the pages and print are very small, and the book won’t stay open on the counter unless you break the spine.

   However, the recipes I’ve tried have been pretty good. Just look around to see if it comes in hardcover or another, easier, format.

   This is a very informative book. As soon as my Dr. told me my cholesterol was too high, I bought it. After 2 months of reading how to change my eating habits and using the recipes, I was able to lower my cholesterol by 55 points! It would have received 5 stars if there were some pictures (there are none).

   Great start to healthy
   My husband was recently told he has high cholesterol. His doctor told him to make life changes if he wanted to see 50.

   Always good to see recipes that avoid refined sugar……..
   Put simply, refined sugar overstimulates the hormone insulin, which in turn stimulates HMG-CoA reductase (an enzyme responsible for cholesterol synthesis inside each cell). As insulin speeds up the enzyme activity within the cholesterol manufacturing pipeline, it leads to a build up and surplus within each cell. At this point there is no need for the cell to retrieve any from the bloodstream and cholesterol begins to build up in the blood. Reduce insulin and immediately the signal that causes an increase in cholesterol synthesis is silenced and the cells begin to harvest the necessary cholesterol directly from the blood, causing blood levels to drop. Excess insulin also inhibits the release of glucagon. Glucagon’s job is to restore blood sugar levels for optimal brain function. Glucagon inhibits the activity of HMG-CoA reductase. So by increasing the hormone glucagon you decrease the cholesterol producing machinery inside the cells, forcing LDL receptors to rush to the cell surface in an effort to pull cholesterol from the blood and restore the appropriate balance.
