We eat so well now, thanks to this cookbook

My husband loves cooking and insists on cooking dinner every night. I think it is because he doesn't like my dinners, which are typically vegetarian and involve things like beets and chard. His vision of a delicious meal focuses on red meat, a lot of pasta, and a salad consisting mostly of Romaine lettuce with Ken's Steakhouse dressing, followed up by store-bought cookies or ice cream. I desperately needed a way to force him to make better food with more variety. I don't want either of us to become overweight, inflamed, and forgetful. One of my parents has started declining because of Alzheimer's, and we were both impacted after seeing them recently. So I purchased this cookbook because of the great reviews and we are now on Week 3, and they are over the top awesome, delicious meals. When we first started cooking, my husband tried to take shortcuts or skipped reading the steps, opting to 'wing it' and fall back on his incredible creative prowess. However, with a little friendly wifely interrogation I helped him see that he needed to actually follow the recipes. Although we are still working very hard on getting him to remember to prepare vegetables, the recipes are incredible!! Every night it is like we are eating in a restaurant. There is so much variety. Everyone actually eats fruit for dessert and no one asks for cookies. It's scary to change because there is a risk that we ill go back to eating the way we were eating, and I do not want that. My own brain fog has improved considerably after a month of the MIND diet, using only this cookbook. I am remembering things better after four weeks of following the diet, which helps me feel like I am being a better friend, parent and wife. A longtime sufferer of white coat hypertension, at my recent doctors' appointments the readings were fantastic--none of the usual questioning, "do you have high blood pressure?" We do not completely synch up with the weekly menus--sometimes we end up eating something two nights in a row, or we eat elsewhere and push recipes off to the next week. So along with the extra week at the end where we just make our favorite meals, this cookbook will easily last for 5 weeks without us repeating any recipes. The author has provided really tasty options and I cannot believe my husband is making them. Some days I can tell my husband wishes he didn't have to try something new again, but he is a good sport, and we bought the ingredients after all, so he dutifully makes one of the recipes--and we are all always so thrilled to eat what he makes. The whole family praises his cooking every day; so much positive feedback for him. It's taken his cooking to a new level and we are all much healthier. It is a fabulous, delicious cookbook full of crowd-pleasing recipes that do not take any special skills to prepare beyond following the instructions.

Very similar to "MIND Diet for Beginners" and you probably don't need both of these books.

Mind Diet with room for some improvisation.

Haven't tried all the recipes yet but have repeated several of them. I like that you can swap ingredients in some recipes and that they have dessert recipes. One downer for me is calling for medium bell pepper or medium avocado. Unsure what small, medium and large constitute in produce.

Tasty, easily prepared, healthier meals

Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2020

I’ve made 2 of these recipes so far, the asparagus faro risotto and the white bean mushroom toast. Both were very tasty, well explained, easy to prepare, and full of healthy ingredients. Yes, there is 1/4 C grated Parmesan in the risotto—just enough to add to the flavor. But you could certainly omit it and still have a well-balanced dish. If you, like me, are looking for inspiration for a healthier diet, this book serves that purpose very well.

In the last year I have been trying to find a meal plan/recipes that fit us. The plan is easy, recipes simple and healthy. Most important the recipes use many kitchen staples you already have!

WAS hopeful

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2023

All the literature (including that in this book) discussed reduced dairy and 3x daily grains on the MIND diet. I was surprised to find many recipes in the book that include dairy and very few in the menu plan with any whole grains. Also, the recipe list is laid out alphabetically, which could be ok if for example the onions weren’t separated into four categories (green, red, sweet, yellow). I can just imagine someone going to the store with a picture of this list, grabbing green onions, moving on to the next item and then having to go to the onion section three more times. My last hope of competence left when I saw hummus listed in their dairy section. My faith in trying this program is sadly confused and lessened.

Tasty and Easy - updated 2020

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2020

Purchased this book in anticipation that it would have some good ideas for healthy eating. It comes through in that department, although there are no real revelations for anyone who has been paying attention for the last decade or so. The book exceeded expectations for deliciousness though. Every recipe we have tried (and we have tried a lot of them) is at least "quite good" and many of them are flat out delicious. If I received any of these dishes in a restaurant, I'd say "This is a good restaurant." Recipes that didn't sound all that fancy like Kale Caesar salad and Stuffed Acorn Squash greatly exceeded expectations and have become family favorites. All preps are easy too. Buy yourself a good citrus zester and have a ball.

I recently counted approximately 100 cookbooks in my collection. This one is one of the top 3. (The others are the old Fannie Farmer and the more recent Sheila Lukins "Silver Palate". We continue to make the MIND Diet recipes almost every week. They never fail.

I LOVE this cook book so much! I have been slowly working my way through this cookbook and every recipe I have tried (about 12 so far) is simple, quick and absolutely delicious!! My whole family has loved every single one. I am a busy working mom who is a pescatarian (vegetarian except seafood) and there are SO MANY great recipes - the meat eaters in my family loved them all! I highly recommend this cook book - you won’t be disappointed!
