 Eat Your Vegetables August 29, 2010
Dr Adam Weiss (Buffalo Grove,IL.)
The Kind Diet supports all the reasons why we should embrace a plant base diet beside the health benefits there is the environment and animal welfare to consider as well. From clearer skin to dropping a few unwanted pounds The Kind Diet offers many solutions for replacing that old fashion meal of meat and potatoes with healthier and brighter choices like Azuki beans with Kabocha squash!Or try the Cuban style roasted potatoes. You don't have to eat just tofu anymore to be meatless and the author share some fine recipes with the reader all while improving the well being of yourself and others. Highly recommended.

Alicia Silverstone's book, "The Kind Diet", is a wonderful explanation of how and why someone would adopt a Vegan lifestyle. She carries you through her thought process smoothly and gracefully. It is a great read with wonderful recipes in the last chapters, recipes she uses everyday. Sign up at her website for more info and questions. She is delightful. There is a vegetarian diet, a vegan diet and then a truly healthier Vegan diet which recommends nothing but whole grains, vegetables and fruits, legumes, nuts and seeds. More difficult to maintain, but I believe it is truly the way we should all be eating for optimum health. If you are exploring better ways to fuel your body, this is a great read! I highly recommend it.

Let me start this off by saying I have never written a review for anything, ever. I have purchased great products before but I never thought them great enough to compose a review. This book is wonderful. I have been interested in going vegan for a while, and I purchased the book "Skinny Bitch" hoping that it would inform me. It just sort of promoted highly processed vegan foods that really wont help you lose weight, or buy sustainably. This book is completely different. Alicia explains wonderfully all the benefits of giving up what she calls "nasty foods". The recipes are delicious, and the chocolate peanut butter cups may just be one of the best things I have ever tasted. The only one issue is that alot of the recipes require very odd foods that I cant find even at whole foods. Definitly worth the money though, you wont regret it!
 Her heart's in the right place, but... August 18, 2010

I applaud Alicia Silverstone for the personal choices she's made, and for encouraging others to pursue better health. But I also think this book could have benefited from a collaboration with an actual cookbook writer. While one part of the book is aimed at those just "flirting" with the idea of going vegetarian, it doesn't come off as a beginner's book at all.
One thing the book, and its readers, really could have benefited from is a glossary. What is daikon? Where is it found? How do you select it? What do you look for? What does it taste like? What should it taste like? Someone who's never had it or cooked with it before needs a baseline to work from. I know what onion tastes like raw, how to cook it for different desired effects, and how to choose good ones and avoid bad ones. But daikon? Not a clue. That's just one example. There are many, many ingredients, whether vegetables or products like Vegenaise that I've never had and could use a little guidance on. Not to mention, some of those things are expensive. I'd kind of like to know what I'm getting myself into before I spend five bucks on a jar of vegetarian mayonnaise. A glossary with basic information about the ingredients she uses would have been immensely helpful.
I'm sure there are great books out there for those trying either a vegetarian or vegan way of life for the first time. But I think this book isn't one of them.
good book August 16, 2010

I have been a vegetarian for years, but every once in a while eat a vegan diet. I love the receipes that Alicia Silverstone has in this book. If you are interested in just eating healthy or becoming a vegan this would be a great starter book.
