Thoughts: I love this book. It was informative, well-written, had full-color pictures throughout, and a ton of good information. The front area contains information on the MIND diet, how it works, and why it’s good for you. There are tips on what to eat (and why), a chart on how much of these foods to eat per week, a one-week menu with sample meals, and what to have on hand in your pantry/kitchen. There’s also a short list of words that are used in the recipes like: dairy free, gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, 5 ingredients, one pot, and quick. Each recipe includes at least one, often more, of these designations.
Each recipe contains the above labels, servings (mostly 2 since it is a book for two), prep and cooking time, ingredients, directions, tips, variations, nutritional information, and more. And they sound amazing. I can’t wait to try a bunch of them. At the end of the book, there are conversion and measurement charts, references, and a decent index.
Recommendation: If you are looking to eat healthier, or just want some great recipes, pick this book up. I received an ebook for review and have definitely put the physical book on my “buy this” list.

I read the first chapter, The Power of the MIND Diet and skimmed through the recipes, divided into: Breakfast and Smoothies; Soups, Salads, and Sandwiches; Plant-Based Mains; Fish and Seafood; Poultry and Meat Mains; Snacks and Desserts; Staples. I saw many recipes that I would like to try, but I am not presently in the mood for "hard" cooking, which includes shopping for ingredients I don't have on hand. I may buy the book (currently a library book) in the future.
MIND stands for Mediterranean- Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay. MIND superfoods include leafy greens; deep-colored vegetables (squash, carrots, tomatoes, asparagus, peas, etc.); whole grains; nuts and seeds. MIND foods to eat regularly are berries; seafood (especially salmon, tuna, trout); beans and legumes; eggs;low-fat dairy; olive oil. Foods to avoid are red meat (no more than 4 servings a week, limit high fat cuts like prime rib, strip steak, short ribs); fried and fast foods; butter and margarine; cheese (OH NO! suggests limiting to one serving per week); pastries and refined sugar.

Also known as the chard, kale, and eggplant diet judging by how many recipes call for at least one of these ingredients. If you are a fan of kale and think a diet will prevent dementia, you might like this. Only one recipe in the book I'd try, but I don't have access to fresh trout.

MIND Diet for Two: 65 Perfectly Portioned Recipes to Boost Your Brain Health: 65 Perfectly Portioned Recipes to Boost Your Brain Health by Laura Ali MS RDN LDN
Liked the idea of this diet plan and know we swap every other day for one or the other.
Full page color pictures throughout the book.
Dedication page then table of contents where recipes are broken up into meals and food categories.
Intro about the MIND diet plan and how it works especially for your brain health.
Tips along the way and servings chart per week are included.
Meal plan, shopping list, portion size are all included.
Set up whole kitchen for just two, pantry, countertops, etc. About the recipes are included also showing food labels.
Each chapter has its own index of recipes. Each recipe starts with food labels, a title, servings, prep time along with summary of the dish.
List of ingredients and you should be able to substitute for your healthier dietary needs: low fat, low sodium, low sugar and fresh vs canned items.
Cooking tips are included. There are NO pictures of recipes.
Directions are given and some nutritional information per serving : calories, total fat, sat. fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbs, fiber, sugar, protein.
Some of the recipes have a LOT of ingredients, be sure to have them all. Really good use of berries and fruits that enhance your brain power if used in the right manner.
Will be making butternut squash soup with kale, sounds so yummy and super healthy.
Fish and seafood is my favorite section, yes even over desserts. just love fresh foods.
Granola and other bites for desserts sound like the pick me upper we need on our hikes on weekends. pack a few for us will be the perfect snack.
Love staples sections, we make broths all the time but use in pressure cooker-5 minutes they are ready.
Charts at the end: measurement and conversion. References are included, index, acknowledgements and about the author.
A KEEPER! so many great combinations of food for brain health, portioned just right.
I received this review copy from The Callisto Publisher's Club and this is my honest opinion.
