Great story, awesome recipes. I wish I had the time and talent to prepare.
Realistically, I may add more variety of veggies and make my own hemp milk now..
We need a vegan restaurant in Carmel!!!!!!

I took this book out of the library because a magazine had some recipes from it, and they were good. I wasn't prepared for the rhetoric behind the recipes and didn't love it. Not that I don't agree with her, to a large degree, I just didn't think anything she had to say was that new. I don't like that she doesn't include garlic or onions in her recipes (though I appreciate that she addressed why she had in the past). Her bowls are good, but I found this to be kind of unsustainable and not group-cooking friendly. The recipes and philosophy reminded me of Sakara, and their cookbook. Not a bad thing, just not something that I needed. And even though it's a healthy eating book, there isn't any nutritional information on the recipes.

I only got this book because I saw plant based on the front but the whole 1st part i felt was too yoga hippyish to me....the recipes included some weird ingredients you'd have to buy at specialty stores...plus she doesn't use garlic or onions!?! As a Mexican lots of dishes use that! Then she talked about food combining..ain't nobody got time for that!

Great and easy healthy recipes!

This is by far my favorite of her books! I can’t wait to incorporate these recipes into my daily life. I think I might even be able to get my husband to eat some of them.

Notes:

80 pages of watered down buddhist teachings followed by boring gluten-free-vegan recipes

No onions or garlic!!?? Somehow these are bad for you

Nonsense food combining science also a part of this limiting lifestyle

If coconut ever becomes unavailable this diet will fall apart

I really appreciate Kimberly's honesty and vulnerability in this book, and the whole book's vibe in general. It has a nice variety of recipes.

[Jack · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read pages 1 to 95. The rest are recipes that I look forward to trying.

She has a really positive and fresh outlook on life and relationships.

Not as exciting as I thought; absolutely beautifully laid out, lots of things I already knew, but the recipes were not anything I would try, given my glut of cookbooks. Some would adore this.

The recipes look solid but the rest is unnecessary.
