Cookbooks

Could you recommend a few cookbooks that keep your food guidlines?

Answer: There are many excellent cookbooks that translate the good science, as discussed in Life Over Cancer, into truly good food. Therefore, the titles mentioned below are not an exhaustive list, but only some suggestions.

In searching for new menu ideas, we encourage you to choose recipes that are free of meat, poultry, and milk products, and that utilize sweeteners, such as barley malt, brown rice syrup, fruit juice, and pure agave syrup. Our cookbook list may include some exceptions to these specifications because, very often concentrated proteins such as seitan, tempeh, legumes and legume products can be substituted in place of meat and poultry. Do carefully choose recipes that use only those ingredients that match your optimal health needs.
