The official CHIP cookbook

CHIP, the Coronary Health Improvement Project, is a successful lifestyle intervention program. More than 40,000 people have enjoyed the results of attending this world-class program. How did they do it? They simplified their lifestyle, especially their rich Western diet. And here are some of the recipes they used that made all the difference.

If you want to enjoy good food--and good health--this book is for you! It will help you add healthier dishes to your meal rotation, and it will reduce the "crinkly bag syndrome," the dependence on refined foods, such as potato chips, presweetened cereals, and fast food.

Special features include guidelines for stocking a healthy pantry, a glossary of nutrition terms, a two-week menu plan, nutritional analysis on recipes, and valuable information about fats, sugar, protein, vitamin B12, calcium, soy, and food additives.

The Optimal Diet: The Official Chip Cookbook, July 28, 2008
By J. Castillo (Fort Worth, TX USA)

This book is very concise and practical. The information in the first part is very useful and builds a rational for the ingredients used in the recipes. The recipes are easy to follow although it takes more time than it says to prepare (especially those requiring some home made base ingredients.) I recommend it for anyone in need of a healthy diet.


Vegan Beginner, May 6, 2008

Just a dynamite book. I'm a new vegan convert and this book has simple recipes with ingredients readily available in your grocery/health food store. There are pictures to entice you and for comparison with your rendering. I found it extremely helpful from its suggested kitchen tool list, food list, and preparation guides. My doctor, also a vegan, recommended it to me.
