Review by G. B. Rhamy for The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook: 125 Easy and Delicious Recipes to Jump-Start Weight Loss and Help You Feel Great

It’s a no-brainer: Wanna be healthy? Go Vegan! But the truth is, it’s very easy to eat an unhealthful vegan diet: Just load up on refined flour, sugar, oils, and heavily processed foods, and you’ll be on the fast track to becoming an unhealthy vegan. Sadly, it’s a mistake newbie vegans often make. Instead of embracing whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes, many seek to replace their unhealthful omnivorous diets with vegan versions of their favorite junk foods.
Now don’t get me wrong: I’m not saying that there isn’t a time and place for veggie burgers, non-dairy milk beverages, yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. (Heaven knows I LOVE my coconut milk ice cream!) But to eat more healthfully, we need to choose whole, organic fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains as the centerpiece of our diets. And having a collection of plant-based recipes that offer us simple and delicious ways to prepare these foods is essential.
When I heard about Dr. Neal Barnard’s latest book, The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook: 125 Easy and Delicious Recipes to Jump-Start Weight Loss and Help You Feel Great, it sounded like just the kind of book to help anyone quickly learn to achieve and maintain vibrant health through sound nutrition. Turn to the very first page of the book, and you’ll read, “This book holds the culinary secrets to lifelong health.” It’s a promise that was fulfilled in the pages that followed.
The bulk of the book contains simple recipes for eating healthfully and enjoying every bite. But it also includes many thoughtful tools that will help you revolutionize your kitchen and your life, easily and effortlessly. You’ll learn the science behind making health-promoting food choices and how to make your foods fit your health and weight-loss goals. You’ll discover all the essentials for stocking a vegan kitchen and even find a recipe for making your own vegetable broth. (A staple for many wonderful dishes.)
Many recipes include a neat little “Did You Know” sidebar, with tasty tidbits of information about the dish or one of its ingredients. I picked up quite a few little culinary morsels from reading these boxes! For example, did you know that you can use your rice cooker to cook quinoa or that you can use chickpeas to make brownies? Nutritionals are thoughtfully provided for each recipe, and I noticed immediately that the recipes in this book are consistently low in fat and calories (even the desserts!) But after tasting several dishes, I quickly learned that they are also high in flavor!
A sampling of just a few of the recipes in this book, proved that although easy to prepare, they were equally palate-pleasing. Since in my mind, there are few foods more beautiful, sweet, rich, and juicy than fresh pineapple, the recipe for Tempeh Burgers with Pineapple Salsa was first to catch my attention. The tempeh is first bathed in a tasty ginger-citrus marinade, then pan-seared and topped with a delightfully fresh and fruity pineapple and mango salsa.
The recipe for mixed Vegetable Curry with Whole What Couscous blended together two of my favorite spices, coriander and cumin, with a medley of colorful vegetables. It was absolutely scrumptious!
Finally, tried the Udon Noodles with Shiitake and Button Mushrooms. What I really liked about this dish is that it was quite tasty either hot or cold. And it was so simple and quick to prepare, I didn’t get overheated in my kitchen making this dish, even though it was a sweltering 96° the day I made it.
The Get Healthy, Go Vegan Cookbook is the perfect book for anyone who wants to eat more healthfully and deliciously and do so using simple, wholesome, widely available ingredients. It has become a cherished addition to my own collection of vegan cookbooks, and I will be buying many copies to give as gifts to family and friends.

This book helps make the vegan diet less confusing to the average American and presents a lovely collection of simple recipes. The ones I’ve tried have been delicious – Edamame & Quinoa Salad is my favorite so far. Best of all, I can make all these recipes with ingredients I can find in my small town! I highly recommend this book to new vegans, but the recipes make it a worthwhile addition to anyone’s collection.

I really enjoy the scientific information that is given in this book. The authors have included research on people that switched to a vegan diet, and who reaped wonderful health benefits in return. The book includes 125 no-fuss, low-fat recipes that are easy to prepare. The one drawback to the recipes that I found is that they are rather bland. I have had to add additional spices to some of the recipes to suit my palate. The great thing is that they are easy to prepare, using ingredients that are easy to find – nothing exotic.

Ten months ago I started a low cholesterol diet. I dropped all meat except for fish. I lost 17 pounds in three months. My A1c was better along with my blood pressure and cholesterol. Then I saw Dr. Barnard on PBS. I bought his book and dropped fish from my diet, too. I lowered the amount of olive oil I use and followed his recommendations. As of last week, I have lost 24 pounds. I am always satisfied and full. My blood pressure is 122/60, my A1c is 6.5 and my cholesterol is great. My doctor told me if she did a “patient of the year”, my picture would be on her wall. I have energy and I look so much better – I’m told this all the time now. He changed my life – he actually saved my life. Thank you Dr. Barnard and Amazon, too!
