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.

Wow, this is truly insightful. Not only is it a Cookbook, but it doesn't break down facts about how your body works and why what is best or beneficial to you. I loved reading the information, as it seems very well researched and thought out. I've tried 6 of the recipes so far, and they all tasted delicious! Even my son enjoyed them, and he's a picky eatter! I love that it has easy recipes to do and that I already had most of the stuff. This makes me feel better about what I'm putting into my body!

I received this Cookbook to read/use/review from NetGalley. All of the statements above are my true opinions after fully reading this and trying some of the recipes.

I have the other two books and cookbooks by Dr. Greger, which I love. This one is no different. The recipes are easy to follow and are so tasty. The sweet potato rounds with mango-avocado relish may not sound good at first but it is good! Some of my favorite recipes are Chickpea and Kale Soup, Spicy Black Bean and Tomato Soup, Spinach Mango Salad, Spicy Tempeh Fajitas, and so many more. Definitely check this cookbook out when it publishes.

Thank you to the publisher for giving me an opportunity to review this cookbook.

Although I am not the intended audience for this cookbook, I still rather enjoyed it. From the title to the recipes, this cookbook was easy to follow while still being thorough. Fantastic pictures, information and variety!

I was so excited to see this cookbook pop up on NetGalley! I have a bunch of tabs in this author's other one, the "How Not To Die" cookbook, which is a hilariously dramatic title. As much as I'd like to say I'm not worried about aging, I'm at the crossroads where I can do the preventative work now to age more healthily.

The thing I appreciate most about this cookbook, is how easy it is to make substitutions. I'm not vegan, but I don't eat meat or dairy often just out of habit and cost prevention. Also, most of the recipes mention optional additions and fun facts about certain ingredients.

At the top of each, there's a 'makes X servings' call out as well as a difficulty rating. This is amazing for people like me who are newer to cooking. Nearly every recipe has a photo as well, which is always a plus for me.

The soup section is absolute gold, I will be bookmarking so many pages once the physical book is available. And there is an entire section on beans (!!!)

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for my advanced digital copy!

There are so many recipes in this book that I am actually excited to make! There is a wide variety of dishes and come with a difficulty rating which I deeply appreciate. The pictures are fresh and vibrant which really adds to the approachability of this cookbook. I am so excited to try and I will revisit when we have a few recipes tested.

This book was incredibly helpful and eye opening. I'm now doing a dive into the other books by Dr. Greger. Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

Great book filled with strategies and recipes to eat cleaner, be healthier, and live longer. Very well written in an easy to follow format with numerous excellent color photos. The ingredients needed should be readily available in most supermarkets or natural food stores. Two recipes that will be going into my food plan are the Quinoa Pudding with Mango and Green Beans and Grape Tomatoes with Garlic and Pine Nuts!

I have appreciated all of Dr Greger's previous books and cookbooks and this one is no different.
I find that the background info on the reasons to incorporate these foods along with the beautiful, colorful photos help to inspire me to incorporate more healthful foods into my daily routine.
I want to make so many things in this book!
Most excited to try some of the dips, soups and dessert recipes! I will be making many of these very soon!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for early access
in exchange for my thoughts.

4.2⭐️
A great companion recipe book for Gregor’s “How Not to Age” book. If you haven’t yet read that book, no worries because he does a nice job of summarizing the premise before diving into the recipes. He even addresses some frequent important questions around salt, sweeteners and using teflon and aluminum products in cooking.

🩺 As someone who has been on a path the reversing my chronic health issues, this is definitely the type of cookbook I look for. Well researched, lot’s of yummy recipe ideas (but not so many that it’s overwhelming), and all focused within keeping your gut healthy.

👩🏻‍🍳 Each recipe starts off with portion, difficulty level, and directions. There are some pictures, but not for every recipe. Here’s a sampling of recipes and categories:
—Simple Prep: broth, spice blends, +5
—Breakfast: blackberry mango smoothie bowls, baked carrot cake oatmeal, +7
—Snacks, Dips, Spreads: deviled potatoes, lemony spinach tahini dip, +7
—Soups: chickpea and kale soup, spicy black bean and tomato soup, +7
—Salads & Dressing: purple cabbage sale with Thai lime dressing, cucumber salad with grape tomatoes, +7
—Burgers & Wraps: spicy tempeh fajitas with ranch dressing, black bean burritos with tomato salsa, +6
—Pastas: Spaghetti with Mushroom Bolognese, White Bean Mac & Cheese with Grape Tomatoes and Peas, +7
—Vegetable Mains: Kabocha Squash with Black Rice and Beans, Winter Vegetable Stew, +5
—Bean Cuisine: Pinto Bean and Sweet Potato Enchiladas, Red Bean and Tempeh Jambalaya, +7
—Great Grains: Three-Grain Loaf, Turmeric Quinoa with Broccoli, Chickpeas, and Tomatoes, +7
—Sides: Roasted Root Vegetables with Balsamic Syrup, Garlicky Mashed Potatoes with Chard, +8
—Sweets: mixed berry crumble, blueberry chia pie, +7 (sooo many yummy ones!)

🥼 He also includes a section with lists of what he uses daily, keeps in his freezer and uses for travel; as well as tips for techniques like braising, steaming tempeh, using the pressure cooker for beans. The last few pages of the book are ALL the references he used for the recipes, health info, FAQ’s and more. Tons of references for those that appreciate a well-researched book.

💭 Ok, so my personal thoughts. I will definitely be using this book for new healthy recipes. I love the research and mindset behind these recipes, and having some “go-to” ingredients to make grocery shopping and dinner making easier. As picky as I can be, there are a lot of recipes that sound yummy, so I’m excited to give some of these a try!

Thanks to NetGalley, Flatiron Books, and Michael Greger, MD FACLM for providing me with a complimentary ARC to review.
