I went vegetarian in 1993 for ethical reasons. Just didn't want to hurt anybody anymore. Figured I could start by not hurting animals.
I went vegan in 2002. Realized that the dairy and egg industries were as brutal as the meat industry. Also finally realized that dairy and eggs were absolutely horrible for the environment.
In 2021, after a few false starts in earlier years, I went "whole food vegan," mostly for health reasons but also for the ethics of it. Started getting in the best shape of my life even though I'm pushing 50.
And this year, just a few weeks ago, I transitioned to gluten free after my 7 year old daughter was diagnosed with celiac disease. Couldn't bear the thought of her having to navigate that solo, couldn't stand being able to eat something she can't eat.
So... what's a gluten-free whole food (no sugar, oil, processed foods) vegan to do?
I have a ton of cookbooks, some of them great. Almost all are totally vegan, and a couple are entirely (or at least mostly) whole foods. But none of them perfectly check every box of what my diet has evolved into.
This book hits it all.
I just picked this up, and I have to admit I haven't actually cooked a single thing out of the book.
But I had the chance to read through it closely today, and I've used enough cookbooks (good ones and bad ones) over the years to be able to say pretty confidently that this is one of the good ones.
90% of the recipes in here look fantastic (I'll skip everything with green beans, thanks).
The instructions are clear, the ingredients are healthy and easy to find. Everything is whole food, vegan, gluten free, and, from the look of it, tasty.
I asked my daughter to pick out 10 recipes to try together. She loved the pictures, couldn't manage to pick out less than 20. We'll start on that list tomorrow, with pancakes for dinner.

Their backstory of how they got to be whole food plant-based was very interesting. The nutrition information was sound and the recipes look delicious. There was a nice mix of easy and more complicated recipes as well as something for every part of the day - snacks and desserts included.

June 6, 2021Was a little turned off by their “food origin” which is their background of eating as a kid. I didn’t like the sentence about a scheduled c-section. That was his moms choice and leave birth plans out of it. It was also too long. I don’t need that much background on the author’s when I just want to get to the “meat” of the book which is recipes! Pun intended.
The recipes are okay. Would never make a carrot hot dog. That’s just dumb. The photos are kind of dark and unappealing.
But I did like the conclusion where they are tying covid-19 to underlying health conditions. We could all use a pep talk to get our health in check so we are strong and not reliant on meat if a pandemic hits.
