Plant-based cooking aimed at cardiovascular health sits at the centre of this recipe collection, built on the nutritional approach associated with Dr Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr.
Ann Crile Esselstyn and Jane Esselstyn assembled more than 125 recipes that leave out added oil and animal products while still producing meals people will cook twice. The book covers everyday categories such as breakfasts, salads and dressings, main dishes and desserts, and explains ingredient swaps so the approach can be kept up beyond the first enthusiastic week. Anyone managing a diagnosed heart condition should treat it as a cooking companion and follow the guidance of a qualified doctor or dietitian on treatment.
A summary of the offering:
• Over 125 recipes built around whole plant ingredients.
• Dishes organised by meal type for straightforward weekly planning.
• Guidance on substitutions that keep flavour without added oil.
• A practical companion to the Esselstyn family's nutrition work.
Written for home cooks moving toward plant-based eating and for families cooking with heart health in mind; published by Penguin Publications and available from Boipoka.
