Customer Reviews

Understandable recommendations, easy recipes, it works!

I've been eating according to her chart for a year now. Since I feel so much better when I follow her recommendations, it keeps getting easier to stick with it. Most of the recipes are for busy people like me. The flax seed is high fiber which is an added plus. Tofu is an ingredient, like flour. You'd never eat it by itself. What insight!

We all need this book, not just menopausal women!

I have had my nose in cookbooks for over 20 years, and this is by far the best. Why? Because its recipes are simple, simple, simple, and geared to those of us who won't spend hours in the kitchen, no matter how many hot flashes we have. The shakes made from tofu and soy milk are fabulous, as are the granola recipes. She's a little heavy handed with her spices, so just exercise caution. BUY THIS BOOK, no matter what your age or sex, if you are interested in quick, healthy, and tasty eating. And she also has a great attitude!

It's a way back to life - and energy.

Thank you, Nina, for my joy in life again. I've just started to add flaxseed and tofu into various spots in my life and already I wake up with more energy than I've had in a long time. You've presented not only theory, but great hints and actual practice. And honest reviews of the soy products. Can't I give this book more than 5 stars?
