... is supposed to be a cookbook of fast and easy recipes, I find that a lot of them ...
Because this is supposed to be a cookbook of fast and easy recipes, I find that a lot of them are the same ingredients put together in a different way. Otherwise, a lot of these recipes look very tasty. I made the mushroom stroganoff last night and really enjoyed it, and it did take me a very short time to prepare. I'm looking to get another McDougall cookbook soon to get some other healthy starch based recipes!

5.0 out of 5 stars " It says "Quick and Easy Cookbook" in the title
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2015
Verified Purchase
This book has given us a lot of confidence to give up the meat and dairy and eggs and oils and coffee and stop adding salt during the cooking process Potatoes are back on the menu, along with rice and corn and beans and legumes. We have yet to try tofu or pasta recipes.

Note that it does not say "Gourmet Cookbook." It says "Quick and Easy Cookbook" in the title, which is accurate. Over time each recipe could be tweaked, and made more gourmet if desired. Also, curry powder does a lot to make cooked vegetables yummy.

On the website if you click on the McDougall Newsletter and go to January 2008, it offers "McDougall Favorites". These include the following: Bean Burritos, Bean and Corn Enchiladas, Lasagna, Tofu Tacos, Baked Penne Florentine, Creamy Pasta Primavera, Peanut Dressing, Falafel Wraps, Reuben Wraps, Bean Soup, Garbanzos a la King, Brazilian Black Beans and Marinated Tomatoes, Pumpkin Muffins, Pancakes. Fourteen recipes. Not necessarily all quick and easy, but apparently all proven winners.

We have found we can simply blend a raw apple and use it anytime an oil substitute like Wondaslim, pureed prunes or apple sauce is called for. This substitution alone makes it easier to have the basics in stock. She states that for whatever mysterious reasons, beans always taste better when cooked from scratch. Even so, you will need to have a variety of canned beans on hand.

Also, they encourage you to keep it simple and make your meals monotonous. That is a huge time saver! The crock pot is an invaluable tool.
Right now we are enjoying eating more simply and filling up on starch and fiber. Already seeing results!

This fine book will NOT be gathering dust!

4.0 out of 5 stars Definitely Quick and Easy
Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2011
Verified Purchase
This is not a new book (originally published in 1999); it is just new to me. We have had the NEW McDOUGALL COOKBOOK for years and refer to it several times a week, so when I noticed that they had another title as well I purchased it without hesitation.

The McDOUGALL QUICK & EASY COOKBOOK contains "over 300 delicious low-fat recipes you can prepare in 15 minutes or less," although this just refers to prep time, not necessarily cooking time. It is divided into chapters titled Breakfast, Salads and Dressings, Soups and Stews, Sauces, Dips and Spreads, and Desserts. Then there are four chapters for main dishes, one each for Grains, Beans, Pasta and General. The extensive index also is useful for finding just the recipe you are looking for.

This cookbook is consistent with the McDougall philosophy, but contains a few recipes that contain what I consider "questionable" ingredients. These include bottled fat-free dressings, ketchup and BBQ sauce, and some fake meats, such as vegetarian sausage. I think they sacrificed a bit of "whole foods" to achieve "quick and easy." There aren't a lot of recipes that include processed foods, and you just don't have to make them. The whole foods recipes far exceed the number of recipes including processed foods, so don't let this fact stop you from purchasing this book. Most of the recipes contain whole foods including fresh fruits and veggies, herbs and spices, tofu, rolled oats and legumes. All are consistent with the McDougall philosophy of no added oils and no eggs or dairy.

The organization of this book is very user friendly. Every three or four pages they have devoted a whole page to a healthy eating/living topic, such as "Lower Your Blood Pressure," "The McDougall oil embargo," "Protein Is Plentiful," and "Heart Disease and Cholesterol," and many, many more. These pages help to educate those new to the McDougall philosophy and serve as a reminder to the rest of us. Every few pages you find other helpful bits of information in a small, highlighted box. These include "Quick Tip," "Health Tip," "Planning Tip," and "Shopping Tip."

Overall, the McDOUGALL QUICK & EASY COOKBOOK is a good addition to anyone's cookbook shelf. If you are practicing plant-based, whole foods eating or you are just someone looking for some good low-fat recipes, this is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this book and all that Dr
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016
Verified Purchase
I love this book and all that Dr. McDougall does helping people. I was visiting friends in Hawaii 30 years ago. My friend's husband who was around 28 years old flunked his flight physical. He was a Navy pilot stationed there. His wife was very proactive about searching for help immediately. She found out about Dr. M and got him an appointment as her husband only had 9 weeks before the next physical. Flying was his career. This was super intense for him. They went to his appointment and you know Dr. M lol He didn't beat around the bush. The first thing Dr M said to him was that he wouldn't get in a car with him driving much less a plane he was flying. Dr M said he was a heart attack about to happen. Now this husband is from the South. Tennessee Ate fried food his whole life and a bowl of ice cream before bed most nites. Strangely enough this guy was Skinny. No fat at all Well Dr. McDougall counseled the both of them. Gave them his book the yellow one. This guy followed his book word for word and amazingly passed his flight physical 9 weeks later. People were shocked. The body is an amazing thing and obviously Dr. McDougall has that all figured out. He saved this young guys livelyhood.
I myself enjoy a meal plan that I don't have to worry about measurements really and I feel great. Take care

This book is awesome! Full of healthy recipes, good information, easy to follow instructions. Makes me feel empowered taking good steps to good health. Biggest bonus of all: the whole family loves to try these new things with me. And, so far, the recipes work! I am not left scratching my head thinking what did I do wrong with this recipe like in some healthy cookbooks. Easy to follow instructions, mostly easy to find ingredients, something for every taste bud!

Un livre complet et facile à comprendre (en anglais) pour toutes les personnes intéressées par le régime du Dr Mc Dougall, les recettes sont simples et peu coûteuses, la mise en page est propre et facile à lire, les recettes sont séparées par catégories. Très bien !
Je regrette juste le manque de photos correspondant à chaque recette car c'est un élément qui donne envie de reproduire la recette, et dans le cas présent on ne peut qu'imaginer. Autrement ce livre est très bien et peut vous aider si vous avez besoin de recettes et d'idées pour débuter dans ce mode de vie.
