If you’re interested in learning to cook real, whole food this is a great place to start. The first portion of the book is filled with information about nutrition, cooking without oils & processed foods and general plant based cooking. There are lots of sources and cited materials for further reading and research. I’ve already tried numerous recipes and they have all been delicious. Many of the recipes are by the Sarno brothers, the chefs behind the Wicked Healthy vegan cooking brand, so if you’ If you’re interested in learning to cook real, whole food this is a great place to start.

Very nicely written and filled with beautiful photographs of the recipes. A plant-centered cookbook, about what you'd expect from Whole Foods. Fairly comprehensive and basic, I didn't see a lot of new recipes that jumped out at me. Some of the desserts looked delicious and I will be trying a few of the sauces that are included in the chapters. Not as useful to me as to others because I know my husband will not eat 95% of the recipes in here. Very nicely written and filled with beautiful photographs of the recipes.

Nothing spectacular in the way of recipes. Everything is something that you could accidentally make just because your hungry; bowl foods, veggie roasts, scrambles. The “health” aspect is okaaaaay but even that is a lot of common sense. Not an impressive book by a long shot. I didn’t learn anything and I’m only excited about a single smoothie recipe. You’re better off just grabbing something at the Whole Foods hot bar and calling it a day.

The Whole Foods cookbook really isn't a cookbook at all but rather a collection of suggestions on how to live the "Whole Foods" lifestyle. The recipes that were included were not that interesting and the tone of the book too preachy.

I received this book from a Goodreads Giveaway. The book is beautifully done and filled with recipes that I can’t wait to try. There are several that seem to be quick, easy and kid friendly.

Has a lot of interesting recipes. Tried 2 and was impressed. If that sets an example...……..it's a good one. Has a lot of interesting recipes. Tried 2 and was impressed. If that sets an example...……..it's a good one.

The educational sections were really good. The recipes required too many ingredients and often more than one recipe. Unless you have a healthy budget, this is not a book for beginners.
Margaret Gerberding –
Good book if you are eating a plant-based diet or want to incorporate more plant-based items into your diet!
