I've enjoyed all the recipes I've tried and want to keep trying more! 4 stars because it doesn't give nutritional info. I'd like to know how much protein as I am trying to increase that.

I’d rather die old than be young forever - if my diet only consisted of this cookbook. The recipes are healthy - lots of grains, veggies, eggs, proteins but few carbs and no dairy products except eggs. Not a photo of every recipe.

Great recipes

I was unsure when I borrowed this from my local library (Can I have an AMEN for LIBRARIES!!!!). I seemed to recall that Dr Mark Hyman has some controversial food beliefs. Yes, he does and they are seen in this book.
He states: "refined seed and bean oils are inflammatory and can cause negative impacts on our health. I've done the research for you." but the research is not cited, seems paternalistic.
(https://www.heart.org/en/news/2024/08...).
No milk (yoghurt from sheep's milk or goat cheese is fine).
These recipes are kind of over the top for the average person.
Case #1 First recipe in the book: Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat and Berry Pancake.
Now I'm fairly well travelled and food savvy, but I had to google Tartary. As a Canadian, buckwheat pancakes have been a part of my life since childhood but watch out folks: https://drhyman.com/blogs/content/a-b.... Ah, yes. Now I get it. This is about "superfoods" and evil foods and that's when I start to check out. Grapefruits, then low fat, juice fasting, paleo and all the other diets can kiss goodbye.
A cookbook about healthy eating, would usually have nutritional information listed, but not this one.
These recipes nearly all have one exotic ingredient like preserved lemons, Harissa, Kombu,tarka, black rice, tahini and so on that I am unlikely to have on hand.
I borrowed another cookbook at the same time Start Here by Sohla El-Waylly. It weighs 2.5kg (5lb 5 oz) and at around 550 pages it's a brute but it's fun and engaging and I already made my own Thousand Island dressing which is delightful. If you buy into Hyman's scary world view, then maybe Young Forever will be good for you. In the meantime, I'm back to Sohla and her techniques to bring exotic and everyday foods new life in my kitchen. Today it's "How to make a velvety vegetable soup out of anything."

No liver recipes. Too many recipes with soy. Nearly every recipe contains legumes, nuts, or seeds which I don’t eat.

Only recipe I might try is the mushroom tapenade.
