I am a firm believer that food can aid in the healing of our bodies and I’m living proof of that. Over 5 years ago I became a vegetarian, stopped eating meat and started to exercise more regularly. After several weeks some of the chronic health problems I was experiencing started to get better. After several months I was feeling absolutely fantastic, and using my asthma inhaler less and less.

I was given a copy recently of Mark Reinfeld’s Healing the Vegan Way, filled with delicious vegan recipes. This book is more than just a cookbook, it’s a guide to healing with whole healthy foods.

Mark, the winner of Vegan.com’s Recipe of the Year Award, has more than 20 years experience preparing creative vegan and raw food cuisine. He was the executive chef for the North American Vegetarian Society’s 2012 – 2015 Summerfest, one of the largest vegetarian conferences in the world.  His first cookbook, Vegan Fusion World Cuisine, coauthored with Bo Rinaldi and featuring a foreword by Dr. Jane Goodall, has won several national awards, including a Gourmand Award for “Best Vegetarian Cookbook in the USA”.

In addition, Mark coauthored The 30-Minute Vegan, The 30-Minute Vegan’s Taste of the East, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Eating Raw. He is the author of The 30-Minute Vegan’s Taste of Europe, and The 30-Minute Vegan’s Soup’s On!.  Source

Part one of the book is about how plant-based foods can help prevent as well as heal health challenges. There are also stories of healing from diabetes, high cholesterol, and even slowing of cancer cell growth. Basically part one of the book is a resource guide to a healthy plant-based diet.

I love that the recipes in the book are simple, uncomplicated and delicious. This Sun-Dried Tomato Tapenade is one of my favorites and it takes less than 15 minutes to make. I like to add chopped tomatoes and olives on top for extra flavor and texture.

    Celeste this looks so healthy. I really need to do something about my weight gain. If you think that cutting out the meat will help me to lose weight then I’m all for it. All of your recipes are mouthwatering. Pinned to make as soon as I get some more tomatoes.

      Mary several years ago when I stopped eating meat, drinking soda and exercising I noticed not only that I was feeling better but I was losing weight. I also started each day with a green smoothie.

      What’s great about it is it can be used as a sandwich spread to add a bit more flavor to a plain sandwich.

    I immediately pinned your gorgeous photo of this tapenade recipe–it looks sooo good. I’ve found that vegan cookbooks are great for finding some of the most delicious vegetable recipes, probably because vegans have to cook so creatively and must rely so heavily on vegetables! Thanks! –Ginger
