Summary: Nothing new. Not for health knowledgeable readers
Comment: I picked up this book, thinking it had something new on healthy eating. Big error! Barnard presents nothing new. Eat whole grains, don't skip meals, eat several small meals, fruits, vegetables and the other lingo that any health conscious reader already knows.
I was expecting to read about how food xyz sparks gene abc and causes weight gain or loss. Instead, I got a lot of theory without intelligent analysis of the data.
His blasting of fat is a joke!! He postulates fat-free eating?! That I would say be careful, fat is good, it is just the type of fat. Cut down on the saturated. He even says no to Olive oil!! Now that totally put me off.
His write off on meats, chicken etc is another joke. Argentina main food is meat yet less than 2 in 10 people are overweight. Studies have shown that the bad rap for meat is misplaced and I agree. I think we should examine what we feed our meat. All that genetic modification is the culprit!
In all, save your money. Nothing new, trust me...unless your are a beginner, even then, be careful.

Summary: Think twice before wasting money on this book
Comment: Do not buy this book unless you believe all dairy, meats, and nuts are evil and should be banned! This man is an extreme vegan and for those who do not know what that is, it is a person that believes milk, eggs, nuts, fish, and meats will kill you. Feeding chicken to a child is the cause of obesity in America today! Even breastmilk is demonized. Now that I have that out of my system, the greastest disappointment with this book is the utter lack of theory and the studies to back it up. On virtually every page of all his books (yes, I have suffered through them) are wild opinions with no references whatsoever. For example, he states that in an uncontrolled study (or, in otherwords, unscientific) carbohydrates do not cause obesity but then just a few pages later states that carbohydrates may cause weight or fat gain. Now which is it? I was the most shocked on his recommendation that diets with no fats and just vegetables and grains provide enough fat. His idea of turning off the fat gene is not eating fat all together and if you eat enough vegetables and pasta you will no longer crave it. Oh please, if dieting were that easy we would all be thin. His idea of controling food cravings is stuffing yourself with pasta or cold cereal but please no butter or milk. He says that all nuts are bad because of the fat level but for those of you interested Cooking Light has reported a double-blind study of women eating nuts for a period of time and reported no weight gain. Nuts are also full of vitamins and antioxidants. I find difficulty in his continual statements that if a person does not agree with him and his medical cohorts they are confused and do not understand the greater knowledge. I wanted to find evidence that low-carbohydrate diets are bad and wanted legitimate data to back his assertions but the studies are just not there. So the bottom line is if you want a vegan life, go for it! You can look as gaunt and sickly as the author himself in just six weeks and be just as fanatical!

Summary: Amazingly Delicious Recipes!
Comment: It is not to be believed how wonderful these recipes are! It even got me to eat eggplant (which I hate!), but now I buy it almost every week just to make the delectable "Eggplant Manicotti" recipe. Other favorite recipes from this book include, "Potato Enchiladas", "Polenta Pizza" and "Lasagne Roll-Ups". All the recipes are simple to prepare and I haven't run across a single hard to find, strange or exotic ingredient I couldn't find at my neighborhood grocery store. I have tried several of these 100% vegan (strict vegetarian) recipe's and they have infused my daily meals with the flavor I never knew was missing.
This is now, officially my favorite cookbook.
To top it all off, every non-vegetarian who has tried the recipes I've made from this book have wanted the recipe for the dish afterwards.
I would also highly suggest you try, "Melody of India cuisine : tasteful new vegetarian recipes celebrating soy and tofu in traditional Indian foods" by Laxmi Jain, "The Uncheese Book", "Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure" and my second favorite vegetarian cookbook of all times, "How it all Vegan".
