The Taste for Living World Cookbook: More of Mike Milken's Favorite Recipes for Fighting Cancer and Heart Disease

This is one of two cookbooks I purchased 3.5 years ago that showcases Mr. Milken's favorite recipes...I purchased it because it features low fat vegetarian recipes, which was something I needed as it had just been recommended that I follow such a diet for medical reasons of my own. I read through both books in their entirety, and I did try a couple of recipes.My main comment on this book is the same as it was on the other one: the amount of time it takes to prepare and cook the meals in these isn't practical for many people. The meal I prepared using these cookbooks took over two hours. It tasted great, even my husband liked it, and he's not the biggest fan of low fat vegetarian food. But it took so long to make, as the mom of a child with significant special needs, there is no way this was practical for me to use on an every day basis, and it was even stressful enough given the nature of my son's challenges on the occasional basis, and I ended up finding special occasion recipes that everyone liked just as much that took far less time.So I think this book is best for someone who has or is planning on having a significant amount of time to spend on food prep and cooking. For me, it was just too time intensive and I ended up donating this book recently with the other one I had purchased from this line as well.

Both cookbooks are terribly outdated and not worth the info they contain ca 2017. We live in an entirely different, quite poisonous world. Things that we know now are not relative to the data contained in these two cookbooks, but they are a good place to start. I had to go through both books and update them to take into consideration certain seafoods, GMO, high fructose corn syrup, the many, much healthier oils available, eating organic, AND that is just the beginning of OUR anti-cancer journey and diet!These two cookbooks were a wonderful gesture at the time, but that time has passed. I like to think my husband and I prefer our updated versions. He eats like a king in a much healthier way, but then, many of the items available now were not available then and vice versa.To attain/maintain a healthy anti-cancer/pro-health diet, cut out EVERY ingredient that cancer loves to feed on, exercise and remember everything in moderation. Also, take into consideration that life is much more appealing than that *other* option.

Gift for a family member which he was grateful for it.

I purchased this book for a gift since I already have one for myself and love it.The same comment goes for all the other (same) books I purchased, so I willleave my comment at that and not repeat myself.

Recipes required a lot of ingredients which I did not readily have. Took a lot of work preparing the meals. Food didn't tast all that good.

Product was in very good shape, 1st time ordering from Amazon and will try again

This Cookbook has lots of useful recipes different than the "everyday" ones.The book itself was in incredibly good shape.

I'm sorry, but this cookbook is not a vegan cookbook. It's an omnivores cookbook, with animal products crossed out and "add vegan version" next to it. I can't go more than a page without seeing "fat-free egg product," "soy cheese," or "soy meat." It's such a huge disappointment, especially because the book is formatted so well and has an abundance of photos.

Great Book, Great Recipies, which can be slightly changed (if something you don't like). Found this book a must have for any kitchen, even if you are not keen on cooking. The only dissappointment - was the fact Soya is used so much. I just used Goats milk instead of soya milk (I'm not very keen on soya) but I am lactose intollerant.Hope this helps.

Good for inspiration, especially for green recipes.
