In case you didn’t know, Lindsey Nixon is the owner and creator of the Happy Herbivore cookbook series. She is a definite WFPB cook. And I often add to her recipes also. She kind of likes to give you the basics, so I’m not surprised that you are adding to the recipes.
OMG LIndsey Nixon is the first person I followed when I went vegetarian. My first black bean brownie was from her recipe. I have all her cookbooks and a lot of her meal plans.
Yum!!!! VERY FAST VEGGIE LENTIL SOUP Added some nutritional yeast & onion powder as well as another no salt seasoning. Blended a bit, was great!! I cooked sprouted brown lentils in instant pot first in veg broth w 2 bay leaves. Then added the cooked lentils, very flavorful.
Can I suggest eating wonderful, filling, very low-fat chestnuts, it's the season for fresh ones, which you can boil, roast and even microwave. You can also buy them vacuum-packed or even dried all year round. They're low cal and can be mixed with other ingredients too, e.g. Brussels sprouts, but I love them plain.
Great timing. I just checked this book out from the library. New to WFPB as of January 2024. I made the switch to improve my health initially but have learned so much more about the benefits not only to my health but to our planet and, of course, the unnecessary suffering inflicted onto so many animals. I've been watching your channel since I started this journey and am always entertained and enlightened. I am looking for support from like-minded peeps as I'm solo here in my family and among my friends. Everyone has been incredibly supportive, though, which is wonderful. I am from the "banana belt" in Southwestern Ontario (Windsor). Thanks for sharing your wisdom, sense of humor and family.
Thank you Donna - and glad that you've joined us over in the membership! So glad we can be helpful on the channel and that you'll find support over there as well :)
I loved them until the holiday & gathering book. It was too similar to previous recipes. My guess is that the PB with J family would like Happy Herbivore Abroad most out of this series.
I bought the book. Biggest reason is though because Dr. Bernard came to Peoria, IL to the veg fest that was being held here and gave a lecture. So I bought a book and had him sign it. I was so excited! The lecture was basically the book summed up in an hour, so I didn’t really gain much from the narrative of the book because it was in his lecture, but I’m excited to try the recipes!
Thank you Jeremy. It makes my day when I see you have posted a new video. I have learned so much from your videos. They have made me not so flustered when I don’t have all the exact ingredients or when there is something in a recipe I really don’t like ie. nutmeg or mustard. It’s ok to just leave it out or make substitutions. I love that your family is involved also. Yikes, your children are growing up so fast. Have a great day. 😄
They had a little article called Soy Power in this book. Dr. Barnard explained the benefits of soy for women and directions for pressure cooking soy beans and roasting them in the oven. I usually buy soybeans roasted but the store bought contain oil and are expensive. Im excited to try his method!
Thank you for your honest reviews and addition/substitution/suggestions of ingredients. Very helpful! I enjoy your kids funny reactions in trying the recipes.
Hello from Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia the worlds largest coal export port. Thanks for the review, I have this book but have yet to try out any recipes so the ones you have reviewed I will try first. I have just recently started watching your videos and look forward to watching more of the cook book reviews that you have done.
I enjoyed this video. I would try any of the recipes you made. Nice to see that your kids really liked these meals for the most part! Good book for your family. I requested it from my library. Thanks!
@@pbwithjeremy I just finished reading this book, which I borrowed from the library. The chapter, "Drugs and Money" blew my mind. I did not know that our WFPB diet, high in complex carbs and fiber, does the same thing as weight loss drugs such as Wegovey! They both promote the GLP-1 hormone in our body which decreases the appetite and therefore causes weight loss. That is something to celebrate and pass the word on. So many people are on these GLP-1 agonists for weight loss, which have horrendous side effects which cause some people to stop the drug. The WFPB diet has no negative side effects, only positive. This is a no-brainer to me, but some people are not willing to change their diet and lifestyle.
Hi, I'm a WFPB elder from Reno NV. You'd be surprised to discover that we have a local food movement in our Biggest Little City and restaurants with vegan options. Love your videos! ❤
@@user-nr5he3ic9o I love Laughing Planet on Tahoe Street in Midtown, Golden Flower close to Circus Circus has a yummy Pho with Tofu, and Whole Foods on South Virginia has a great buffet with a dining area. Grateful Gardens, Süp, and Jüs all in Midtown also have vegan choices. We also have three Trader Joe's which have lots of vegan options. Good eating!
Exactly! Please don't skip this step. Chilaquiles are served often as a breakfast dish. The tofu takes the place of egg. Maybe some Kala Namak would enhance that tone. Also, you pronounce enchilada like it's a French name lol
Thank you for sharing. I also have multiple family members who don't like the texture of tomatoes. I always blend before adding to recipes. I would also sub in pickles for the capers. Maybe blending it in a food processor and adding some homemade tofu mayo would help it stick together?
I made the brownies and thought that the jam on top made it too sweet. I would make them again without the jam on top. I haven’t made the oatmeal bake, but made a very similar one from the Scrappy Cooking cookbook, which I liked. I’m going to be trying this one eventually
I’m not great at cutting and chopping. I’d love to see a video of knife skills, and also how you sharpen your knives! Also, hello! I’m from Ashville, Pennsylvania.
Sorry if this is already been addressed, but what about making this in the instant pot, any ideas and how we can go about doing that if we use dried lentils?
Hello, Constance here from the Netherlands. I looove your reviews of cookbooks and how you make the recipes oilfree and how you test them with your family. I do have a remark for the members of the jury: please don't chew your food and talk at the same time. Please don't do that. Your audience can see what's in your mouth, what's stuck between your teeth and what's clinging on your lips. It's not very elegant and it makes me want to zap to another video. And please don't shout that something is disgusting. It's all made with love and dedication. Remember also that there are a lot of people and children on this planet who are living in poverty and suffering extreme hunger. They don't have the luxury of even tasting the most simple foods. Please keep this in mind, will you? Thanks for understanding.
Hi Constance, thanks so much for your thoughtful comment and for watching our cookbook reviews! I completely understand where you’re coming from, and I appreciate your feedback about table manners during the videos. We’ll definitely be more mindful of that in future reviews. I also hear your point about showing respect for the food and the people who don't have the same privileges, and it’s a great reminder. Thanks for sharing your perspective, and we’ll keep working to make our videos the best they can be while still being authentic to ourselves. Thank you!
I am a retired Educator from the USA who has been living and working in Tanzania East Africa for the past 14 years. I love your videos and I just decided to go WFPB this summer. I feel great and I'm ready for my second retirement. Thanks for your light-hearted family input.
I think the reason these recipes are lacking veg is that these guys just figure you’ll have a big side of steamed greens or salad on the side of every meal.
Oh the teenage years :) We all go through phases! Luckily I work from home most of the time, so it's easy enough to make dinner every night - and if I can't Woolie or the kids step up to help. As for the energy - I enjoy it and I like our family to eat quality meals :)
One critique you make when reviewing cookbooks is that many recipes don't have enough vegetables. Recipes are not meal plans and are not expected to be all inclusive. Recipes should be paired with a salad, vegetable soup or vegetable side dish to complete the meal.
That's absolutely true - for our family sometimes it's just more time efficient to add the vegetables into the main than the side. And it sort of reminds me of boring bland vegetable side dishes when I was a kid. But thanks for pointing this out!
I really enjoy your videos when you are reviewing cookbooks. This video, however... When you were making additions, substitutions, omitting things and changing the process, I was screaming at my cellphone. To be absolutely fair, it is IMPERATIVE to follow the recipe EXACTLY. Then, change it around however you wish. With all those changes you made, I thought you were not being fair with reviiews. I am a GOOD cook. I have given MY recipes to people who asked for them. Then I was told that it didn't turn out as good as mine tasted. I ask questions just to find out they changed a process, or substituted something different for an ingredient, or omitted an ingredient. Well, no wonder!!!! My husband and I are retired, living and traveling in an RV, and I cook WFPB as we travel. Therefore, I am from wherever we park our RV. BTW, next summer we plan a trip to Canada. And I am going to continue to enjoy your videos, but, hopefully, no more screaming at my cellphone.
Thank you so much for your honest feedback! I totally understand your frustration-it's a great point that following the recipe exactly is really important, especially for a fair review. When we made substitutions or skipped ingredients, it was often for health reasons, or because we didn't have certain ingredients on hand. But you’re absolutely right that sticking to the recipe first would give a more accurate representation of how it’s meant to turn out, and I can see how our changes could affect the review. It's why I make sure to mention if I change anything so that it's clear we're going off course. I know that us doing this in the videos has helped other people feel more comfortable with cooking and making their own substitutions when needed. You'd be surprised how many people are intimidated by cooking, so we try to show how you can take a recipe and adjust when and if needed. Hope that makes sense. I really appreciate your perspective. Your experience as a cook, especially while traveling in an RV, sounds amazing. Canada is beautiful, and I hope you enjoy your travels here next summer. I’m so glad you’re continuing to enjoy the videos-and fingers crossed, no more screaming at your cellphone! 😄 Thanks again!
This drives me nuts as well. I read reviews on recipes where they've changed so much that it's no longer the original recipe and they are saying how horrible it was. It's a huge pet peeve of mine. Change the recipe all you want but you can't fairly review it then.
Hey Jeremy from DE. Facts about where I live….Biden lives one town over so when he’s in DE he mucks up the traffic with his motorcade..the motorcade is fascinating to watch though.

I love the Power Foods Cookbook. The breakfast bake is yummy. I want to make the Blueberry sauce soon. I love these Cookbook Reviews
The Happy Herbivore! I loved her. Great video.
I wondered what happened to Lindsay Nixon. I love love love her old cookbooks.
So did I! I literally just looked her up a couple nights ago and couldn't find too much.
I loved them until the holiday & gathering book. It was too similar to previous recipes.

Thank you - and YES they are growing up WAY too fast :( so glad we've made you feel more at home in the kitchen!
Another great video! I have this book but never did try any of the recipes. I should probably do that.

Love your cookbook reviews. I do have one suggestion I would like page numbers.
Hey I'm Paul from Wrexham, Wales. Thanks for the great content
Paul!!! Glad you enjoyed. Go Wrexham AFC!!!
From my experience you need to cook the tortillas first because otherwise they just kind of disintegrate. 🤷🏻♀️
Exactly! Please don't skip this step. Chilaquiles are served often as a breakfast dish. The tofu takes the place of egg. Maybe some Kala Namak would enhance that tone. Also, you pronounce enchilada like it's a French name lol
I have all of Lindsey Nixon's cookbooks, they are very good.
I really like this book. The Carrot cake recipe in there is amazing in my opinion!!!!
Oh damn..... I shouldn't tried it!
Another fun video! Costco had roasted red peppers in brine. It’s a huge jar so i like to freeze extras.
Oh nice!
So excited for this!
I think the picture of the Dahl is on the cover of the book ;)
Hummus would be good on the sandwich ❤
Hi Iam Daizy from New South Wales in Australia, have just found you guys recently, love your content
Hi Daizy!!! I'm dying to go to Australia some time :)

for the black and blue brownies perhaps a date paste instead of jam!!!
I think that might be too sweet for my liking.....

VEGGIE LENTIL SOUP
Lentils cook in 8 minutes so that would likely be enough time

THANK YOU for explaining the recipes are actually not by the Dr. of the book.
you're welcome :)
I made a red lentil Dahl today and I had much the same thought as you with it being too simple
Though I did make your naan bread to go with it instead of rice
Mmmmmm - I love that Naan so much
I was disappointed in this book but I still like dr Barnard
Why I was gonna buy it, but would love to get your input
