Description
The China Study, with 850,000 copies sold, has been hailed as one of the most important health and nutrition books ever published. It revealed that the traditional Western diet has led to our modern health crisis and the widespread growth of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Based on the most comprehensive nutrition study ever conducted, the book reveals that a plant-based diet leads to optimal health with the power to halt or reverse many diseases.The China Study Cookbook show more takes these scientific findings and puts them to action. Written by LeAnne Campbell, daughter of The China Study author T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and mother of two hungry teenagers, The China Study Cookbook features delicious, easily prepared plant-based recipes with no added fat and minimal sugar and salt that promote optimal health.
From her Breakfast Home-Fry Hash and Fabulous Sweet Potato Enchiladas to No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars and Cheese(less) Cake, all of LeAnne’s recipes follow three important principles:
1. Optimal nutrition is based on eating food rather than nutrient supplements
2. The closer that foods are to their native states—prepared with minimal cooking, salting, and processing—the greater the long-term health benefits of eating them
3. It is best to choose locally and organically grown produce whenever possible
Filled with helpful tips on substitutions, keeping foods nutrient-rich, and transitioning to a plant-based diet, The China Study Cookbook shows how to transform individual health and the health of the entire family. show less

This cookbook focuses on plant-based whole food recipes. After reading it I decided to move it to my to-buy list because many of the flair and ingredient combinations are right in my personal flavor-palate. As with the gluten-free cookbooks I own, I am not an adherent to the lifestyle but just an enthusiastic cook (and eater) who finds some of the recipes and techniques interesting. Will I convert to using flax seeds and water as an egg substitute in baked goods permanently? Probably not! Will I give recipes that call for such substitutions (or for xanthan gum or non-dairy "milks") a try? Sure!
I have eaten a whole foods plant based diet for two years with spectacular results and have several other cookbooks of this type. This is tied with The Happy Herbivore as my favorite. I have prepared ten China Study recipes thus far and loved them all. The food is flavorful, not bland like with some healthy cookbooks I've tried. My husband, who is an omnivore, enjoyed them as well. Most can be prepared with minimal effort from inexpensive ingredients found in a regular grocery store. The book itself is a nice size with photos for almost every recipe. A convenient index makes recipes easy to find by name or ingredient. I am purchasing a second copy to give as a gift - highly recommended!
An informative book about eating a plant based life. There are a lot of good recipes and ideas!
The China Study discovered that eating dairy will give us cancer and meat will give us heart disease. What's left? Whole food plant-based eating (WFPB). Need more be said?
