Forks Over Knives: The Cookbook by Del Sroufe contains a wide variety of plant-based recipes that prove eating a plant-based diet can be satisfying. I've made many of the recipes in Forks Over Knives: The Cookbook and have enjoyed the vast majority of them. Sroufe demonstrates techniques to make plant-based cooking accessible to anyone while keeping the recipes interesting. The vast diversity of these recipes provides something to tease just about any taste bud. The simplicity of the recipes makes Forks Over Knives: The Cookbook great for those with little to no cooking experience while still containing recipes that will appeal to experienced cooks. I'd highly recommend Forks Over Knives: The Cookbook for anyone interested in trying a show more plant-based diet or even those who just enjoy trying out different methods of cooking. show less
This book is meant to serve as a companion book to Forks Over Knives, which makes the case for a healthy, whole-foods, plant-based way of eating. Since many cookbooks can’t be described as plant-based, this one seeks to fill that need.
It begins with “the basics,” which are recipes that are used throughout the cookbook, such as vegetable stock, sauces (including a no-cheese sauce), pestos, and chutneys.
Subsequent chapters cover breakfasts, salads, soups, stews, wraps, pastas, vegetables, baked items, beans, grains, casseroles, and desserts.
I expected the recipes to be complicated, but these are not at all. They also come from a variety of ethnic cuisines. The most important aspect of the recipes is that they are based on fruits, show more vegetables, whole grains, tubers, and legumes that are the foundation fo the “Forks Over Knives” eating plan. It is an essential resource for those interested in cutting down on processed food and eating in a healthier way. show less

Delicious recipes guaranteed to please even the pickiest eater!
Forks Over Knives - The Cookbook had exactly what I was looking for: a diverse selection of whole-food, plant-based recipes. The book was organized by type of dish and included a section on "Basics" that covered all the sauces, stocks, broth, etc. used in some of its recipes. I loved the separate sections for Soups, and Stews and Chilies, which are my fave especially this time of year (fall/winter).
My biggest complaint was the lack of color photos. I would've liked to see a photo for every recipe.
Singles' Soup
"Cheesy" Potato Soup
Creamy Sweet Potato and Vegetable Stew

Ugh, I don't know about this. Most everything sounded terrible - but since I haven't made anything yet I really can't judge. I'm glad I got this as a $2.99 kindle deal :-/
