Five yummy stars!
I can count on one hand with two fingers to spare the number of cookbooks I have bought in the past decade. But this one I rushed out to snag a copy of. It's so awesome!!

Bravado-forward, beginner-friendly recipes. I may be me, but the simplicity of preparing these dishes was way overstated. I do love reading about people who come home tired and hungry and then spend 5 or 10 minutes making these things and voila. It's like a fantasy story.

I apologize to whoever is cooking from this library copy next. It was an active situation and I tried to prevent it but didn't.

I have to admit, I didn't realize this was focused on sports nutrition when I placed this on hold at my library. Sadly, most of that nutritional information is not useful for me, but I found some of the recipes interesting, especially the ones that were vegetarian or pescatarian focused.

Nice, but nothing particularly stood out.

Its a good recipe book, but I question he could gain ten pounds of muscle in ten weeks naturally on a plant-based diet - really?
