My dance card to following a plant-strong diet started by reading Rip’s first scribe, THE ENGINE 2 DIET (Grand Central Life & Style, 2009). If you saw my copy five years after its purchase, it is dog-earred, has sticky notes on many pages, and best, is that it has inscriptions from Rip, Jane, Ann, and Dr. Esselstyn. I love this book so much that I have never allowed anyone to borrow it. It stays with me at all times.
To say that THE ENGINE 2 DIET turned my life around is an understatement. It’s not just the diet, but the science and the anecdotes in Rip’s book that have created a new back-drop for me. Last year, Rip published another NEW YORK TIMES bestseller, MY BEEF WITH MEAT. Again, another book filled with plant-strong compassion, scientific data, and easy-to-follow recipes. His sister, Jane Esselstyn, worked closely in plotting plant-strong recipes for the book. The recipes’ wholesomeness and simplicity were a draw to me, and many others. It, too, became a NEW YORK TIMES bestseller.
And while Rip’s dad, Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. authored PREVENT AND REVERSE HEART DISEASE (Avery, 2008), that book is perhaps the cornerstone of plant-based, whole foods eating. The recipes in Dr. Esselstyn’s book were all created by Rip’s mom, Ann Crile Esselstyn. Again, basic and easy-to-follow recipes that pack a plant-based punch.
It only seemed natural that the next adventure was for Ann and Jane to write a cookbook together. I’ve been to many lectures given by Ann and Jane, and it always seemed that the number one question was, “When are the two of you going to write a cookbook together?” This dynamic and innovative mother-daughter duo have brought plant-based cooking to a new level. Out today, their new book, THE PREVENT AND REVERSE DISEASE COOKBOOK (Avery, 2014) is packed with more than 125 recipes. And, did I mention that if you are a visual learner, the photos of their dishes each speak a thousand words?
I got to preview the book, and fell in love at the first page. Warm stories about family members and friends will warm your heart. And new and creative recipes will add an arsenal of new dishes to the table.
The Esselstyn family has created a quadfecta in plant-strong cooking and eating by writing these amazing books! If I were you, I’d run to your local bookstore and get Ann and Jane’s new book, and if you don’t have the others, I’d get them all.
We seldom get the experience in life to create change. Let the Esselstyn family be the catalyst to your life’s change to start eating more plants today, and feeling better!
As Rip would say, “You. Can. Do. This.”
