Nourish

A lot of great information on plant-based eating, filled with explanations and science. A lot of reading packed into this book, so for anyone new and wanting to understand this lifestyle, this a great way to learn, but could be somewhat daunting. It can also be great for those who don’t have some knowledge of nutrition already. Great recipes and many I am eager to try. I was very disappointed that it did not include any photos, especially because of the beautiful cover. A lot of info on feeding kids and families. I’m always looking for great information and recipes on plant-based eating, and this had many from both simple and complex. It also gives a meal planning guide to help, with helpful guides and shopping lists.

Wow! As a Registered Dietitian myself I really loved and appreciated this book as a resource for patients or friends/family. I find the information in this book to be extremely thorough which was surprising to me. Normally books that broach this subject are either too basic or very much had a fad/trendy diet feel to them. I'll admit when I requested this book I expected it to have more recipes and less text however now that I know what the book entails I am surprised yet excited. Well done!

The pandemic has lead to my family eating at home more often. and as we try to navigate healthy options for our family, we have decided to transition to a plant-based diet. This book is a great primer not only to plant based eating but nutrition in general.

As a medical professional, I really liked the science and studies presented to back up the claims. I liked how the authors focus on the rationale for why a plant-based (not necessarily plant-exclusive) diet is healthier overall, steps you can take to reduce your animal product consumption, how to avoid unhealthy meatless foods, and most importantly, how to find a good balance! I especially appreciated the chapters on reorganization of the pantry, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and the sample menus, recipes, and cooking tips!

Thank you to @netgalley and @hci.books for a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review! This will definitely be going on my shelf when it’s released on November 17, 2020!

A really comprehensive book that is filled with tons of information on eating a plant based diet. If you've got a question about eating plant based, it is sure to be answered here. Pretty much everything is covered including if it's suitable for kids, and lots of facts to back up whats being stated. There's also some handy recipes and guides to what sort of things to be eating and why.

Nourish is an well thought out collection of how to create a more healthful household. It was just what I was looking for when I found it on NetGalley. Our family has made the decision to eat a more plant based diet and this book helped me solidify those plans.

Awesome book about food! It explains each kind of nutrient, where they come from, how much you should eat., what each food does to your body and then there are some recipes at the end. Great book! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

I assumed this would be yet another vegetarian recipe book with some tips about raising a plant-based family sprinkled throughout, but in reality, the book went MUCH deeper into vegetarianism, why it's good for the body and the environment, and how to realistically raise children on a plant-based diet healthily and joyfully. It was very research and science-based balanced out by recipes and grocery list ideas. I also really appreciated the fact that the authors addressed eating disorders and how they may be created and/or exacerbated by parents who aren't mindful. Overall, a very informative and motivating resource for those looking to live a vegetarian lifestyle.

This book had wonderful accessible recipes. I will use them readily in my medical practice wth my office cooking classes. I found the recipes to be very forgiving and flexible. Hightly recommend this book. Thanks to NetGalley for the advaced reader copy.

This book had tons of great information on how to feel your family in a way that is healthy, as well as how to increase the amount of vegetables your family consumes. At the end of the book, there are also a lot of delicious recipes.

Nutrition experts continue to emphasize the importance of a plant-centered diet. Plant-based diets focus on consuming plant foods and minimizing the use of animal foods. As the number of people switching to plant-centered meals increases, this book serves as a guide to achieving this goal without becoming nutrient-deficient. The authors present the information in clear and plain language and also provide readers with hints for achieving nutrition goals at all age levels. They also provide recommendations for menu planning, shopping, and preparing meals that are plant-centered. In addition, they have included both ideas for “no recipe“ meals as well as several recipes for those who prefer to use them.

This book would work for personal use or as a gift. Either way, the person using this book is on their way to a healthy way of eating.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book provided by the publisher and Net Galley. However, the thoughts expressed are totally my own.
