Thank you Flatiron Books and NetGalley for the advanced electronic review copy of this great book. This very informative volume provides concrete, easy to follow recipes as well as the background information on various health and super foods that helps us stay younger and feel better for as long as possible. All recipes are plant based and each one has a photo of a finished dish. The book is broken down by sections such as breakfasts, snacks, salads, soups, vegetable mains, pasta, sweets, and others. I enjoyed getting ideas from this book and would try some of the recipes in the coming days.

Once again Michael Gregor comes through with a great cookbook. These recipes line up with his book series just perfectly.

This was such a great book and look at the foods we eat. As a picky foody, I found so many wonderful recipes and insights into flavors of the food. Recommend for anyone looking to explore and expand their palate. Great read, easy directions, and tasty recipes!

I love the message the Dr. Greger is putting out in the world. My health has definitely benefited by incorporating his principles into my diet and lifestyle. His cookbooks are massive tomes so it takes a long time to work through them and see what recipes you are going to be able to use repeatedly in your rotations. These books are ones that I would love to put in the hands of everyone to improve their lives.

Thank you, NetGalley, the author and the publisher for the advanced reader's copy of the cookbook.

So many great and delicious options for my spouse and me. Thank you for compiling them with great photography and detailed information.
I will be putting this cookbook into many stockings this year.

This cookbook contained lots of interesting recipes that I would like to try. Unfortunately, many of the ingredients are not common or easy to find. Hopefully I will be able to find the necessary ingredients to try many of these tasty sounding recipes to help me to age more slowly. Thank you to the publisher for an adavanced copy of this cookbook.

This book allowed me to learn lots about healthy eating and techniques I can use to facilitate not aging through food. I definitely will be buying this for some of my friends and family for the holidays. So they can also learn the things that are discussed in this book.

I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

The book has bits of information in boxes concerning nutrition, types of common utensils which may leach harmful ingredients into food, substitutions, or related simple and healthful snacks. There are extra chapters for things to have on hand, things to make in advance to use in various recipes over a few weeks that are ingredients in other recipes, and instructions for various cooking techniques.

The book is well-referenced. However, it kind of lost me when it started talking about “leaky gut syndrome”, whether aluminum is safe (it’s the most plentiful metal of the earth’s crust), and artificial sweeteners are equally bad as sugar when it comes to calorie intake or blood sugars? REALLY!

Combined with it being a vegetarian cookbook, with many recipes calling for esoteric ingredients had me a bit skeptical. It’s true that the typical American diet uses too many animal-based ingredients, humans are omnivores, and we should have a small amount of meat, eggs, or dairy. As a book featuring plant-based diets, I was disappointed in that it did not discuss each of the essential amino acids and the incomplete proteins found in plants – and how to mix foods as to get complete protein meals. However, the recipes tend to balance the amino acids for the most part.

The author talks about the problem of the supplement industry being almost unregulated – limiting the use of supplements. The author, who is a doctor, does not recommend the use of supplements or procedures. That could be a problem with vitamin B-12, unless one eats at least some animal products some of the time, or gets an appropriate B-12 supplement.

The book is well organized as to the chapters. Each recipe has a beautiful picture of the prepared recipe, and they all look delicious.

This was a win lose combination for me. The creative recipes totally appealed to me. However, the science, which is very extensive was way beyond my skill set. That being said, I would recommend this book for the recipes in and of themselves. Simply enjoy them, knowing that they were created beautifully and scientifically. Or- if you prefer to eat with science in mind, take comfort that you are indulging in high octane fuel. Good luck!

I am always looking for new recipes for my family. This cookbook stands out because the recipes are not only delicious, but include ingredients that have been scientifically studied to be anti-aging. In his book, How Not To Age, Dr Greger explores that what we eat, and don't eat, has a direct influence on aging. In this book, The How Not To Age Cookbook, he provides the recipes that can help one achieve these goals.

I prepared the mocha chia pudding from the cookbook and found it easy to make and delicious. As someone who likes to eat more than she likes to cook, I appreciated that the recipes all have a difficulty rating and many are categorized as easy. Every recipe has a picture and the photography of the food is colorful and vibrant I fully intend to purchase a hard copy of this book. Thank you to NetGalley for an advance copy of this book.

Thanks for the ARC copy

Wonderful recipes. I tried many and they are delicious. Excellent content on foods to eat and their nutritional value

I listened to the how not to age book, so this was a great extension to that audiobook. Love the background info and foundational info for this cookbook. It was a great overview. I love the section where the author answers frequently asked questions. The recipes completely align with my diet. This is a great expansion to my current recipes. I loved the three berry groatnola, banana almond French toast, avocado relish, many of the salad dressings, black bean burritos with tomato salsa, cauliflower topped shepherd’s pie, mixed berry crumble and cocoa almond butter cookies! Huge thanks to Flatiron books and Netgalley for allowing me to try and review the recipes in this cookbook!

This took me a while to find the specific ingredients to cook any of the receipes that I wanted to try. This was ok.

Best cookbook of the year! I can't say enough about amazing and healthy recipes in this book and all the beautiful photos. Vibrant, science based and simple recipes will make this my go-to cookbook from now on. Thank you Dr. Greger, you've done it again!

I have a LOT of vegan cookbooks, and I didn't think I needed another, but after getting a sneak peek at this book, I've preordered it. Robin Robertson's recipes are delicious and nutritious (hello, Cocoa-Almond Butter Cookies!), and she also shares lots of basics like Date Syrup and Vegetable Broth. Dr. Greger has included the essentials of is How Not to Age plan too, so it's like two books in one. This book is a must-have for both newbies and seasoned vegans alike.

This was a great cookbook on staying young, feeling better, and being overall healthier. Anyone familiar with this author, or newbies who've never read his books, would enjoy this cookbook. I was a bit disappointed in some of the layouts, but that could be that it was a digital version and an ARC. Otherwise, this is a solid read with healthy recipes that will inspire others to live and eat healthier.

After reading Dr. Greger's previous books, I was excited to see his newest upcoming release available on NetGalley, and thrilled when I was chosen to receive an advance copy in exchange for my honest review. The How Not to Age Cookbook features delicious recipes, many of which are easy to put together, which I appreciate as a busy mom. Though I follow a whole food plant based diet, the rest of my family is a work in progress who have done a great job of opening their horizons and including more plant based foods into their diet. The recipes I tried from this book are ones my whole family enjoyed, which I appreciate! I will certainly be adding a physical copy of this book to my collection when it is released in April 2025.

Thank you to the publisher, and net galley for an advance copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I love this cookbook! I need to get a copy when it is in print!!! I love healthy recipes and any ideas for meal planning/ cooking. I want to keep the recipes. I definitely recommend this for those interested in improving their health and bettering their lives!

As someone who always wants to incorporate more vegetable into my diet but gets bored of the basics, this book is spectacular. To begin with, I love the informational bit in the beginning as to why you should eat certain things (the anti-aging eight) and it gives a quick overview of each of these eight items. Very digestible information to where you won't necessarily get bogged down in highly scientific text but the reader still gets the point.

The recipes are fantastic, incorporating things I have in my pantry on a regular basis (nutritional yeast for example) This is a vegan recipe book though, so if you aren't vegan or aren't looking for recipes that have a vegan slant, this might not be for you but honestly, who doesn't want to add more nutrient dense foods to their menu? I'm not vegan but found many recipes I'm excited to try and as I love things like tofu and tempeh, these could definitely end up as staples for us. The mushroom pate is calling my name as I type this...

I really enjoyed this cookbook and received it in digital form through Netgalley. I will be purchasing the physical form. I just love flipping through cookbooks, getting inspired by recipes, and of course collect them! I especially liked the recipes that involved various ways to make vegetables fun and delicious. I am not vegan but we do like making a vegan meal at least once a week. I did not particularly enjoy the cheesy sauce. The white bean cassoulet and two lentil dal were favorites. I did not try to make any of the desserts; they just didn’t interest me. Some of the recipes seem like a lot because of the list of ingredients but it really isn’t that daunting in the process. I would have liked more recipes without miso paste which seemed to be a common ingredient. I do recommend this cookbook if you’re looking for some new creative healthy recipes.
