The Forks Over Knives DVD is now available for pre-order here at a discount; they’ll be shipped August 9th! You can even order  DVD + companion book packages and 4-packs at further discounts…I know what everyone’s getting for Christmas…

I had pre-ordered a bunch of copies of the Forks Over Knives companion book for the film, received them three days ago and have already tested out three of the 125 recipes. This cookbook is AWESOME.

A tiny sample of what the book has to offer:

Blueberry Oat Breakfast Muffins (with canned sweet potato and whole oat flour, they are around 17% protein, 5% fat – next on my list to test!)

Pea Guacamole (a low fat alternative to avocados!)

Quesadillas (with a chickpea/nutritional yeast/tahini “cheese” – never would’ve thought of it but it sounds healthy and delicious!)

Green Goddess Garlic Dressing (and many other super simple salad dressings)

Polenta Pizza (wheat free pizza!)

Kale with Miraculous Walnut Sauce (looks super decadent; love kale)

Outrageous Brownies (made with black beans?! can’t wait to try it!)

So far I’ve made the Garbanzo Bean Loaf, Maple Mashed Sweet Potatoes, and the Instant Chocolate Pudding. All easy, all good – best damn $7 I ever spent.

This recipe collection is not just awesome because the recipes are simple yet delicious and make a perfect intro to cooking plant-based with minimal transition pains, BUT because most of the recipes come from other cookbooks so you get a free sampling of a wide variety of other references you may want to add to your collection! Almost immediately I ordered one such book based on the strength of the recipes included in the FoK book: Unprocessed by Chef AJ. The desserts in this book, made with no oils or sugars (whole dates provide sweetness), look…so…good. For example: Orange Chocolate Mousse Torte, Banana Strawberry Mousse Tart, Macadamia Nut Creme topping…sigh.

I have already tested the Oven Roasted Caramelized Onions recipe (no salt, no sugar) and it really made tonight’s Mujadara – they were super sweet tasting and smelled really good as they cooked.

So when you order your FoK DVD, don’t forget the book, it is totally worth the paltry $11.99 it costs from the film website! Let it guide you to many others – you’ll have an all-new plant-powered cooking repertoire in no time at all!
