New York Times and USA Today Bestseller

"Eat food, not too much, mostly plants." With these seven words, Michael Pollan--brother of Lori, Dana, and Tracy Pollan, and son of Corky--started a national conversation about how to eat for optimal health. A decade later, the value of a plant-based diet is widely accepted--and yet for many people, easier said than done.

So what does choosing "mostly plants" look like in real life? In families where not everyone is on the same vegetarian page the word "mostly" is key. The point isn't necessarily to give up meat entirely but to build a diet that shifts the ratio of animal to plants to create delicious--and nutritious--meals sure to appeal to everyone.

There has never been a better time to cook with vegetables--and to move plants to the center of the American plate. Even if plants weren't the better choice for your health, they make the case for themselves purely on the basis of deliciousness.

This approach to eating--also known as a flexitarian diet--strikes the best balance on our plates between flavor and pleasure, and nutrition and sustainability. In Mostly Plants, readers will find inventive and unexpected ways to focus on cooking with vegetables--dishes such as Crispy Kale and Potato Hash with Fried Eggs; Tandoori Chicken and Vegetable Sheet Pan Supper; Salmon Farro Bowl; and Roasted Tomato Soup with Gruyere Chickpea "Croutons". Here are recipes that keep the spotlight on the vegetables, at a time when the quality of fresh produce has never been better.

In Mostly Plants readers will find recipes that satisfy or can be adapted to almost all dietary needs; vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, and dairy free. And the best part: many of these dishes can be on the table in 35 minutes or less With skillet-to-oven recipes, sheet pan suppers, one-pot meals and more, this is real cooking for real life: meals that are wholesome, delectable--and mostly plants.

A Must-Have for History Enthusiasts and Young Readers!
Format: Paperback
As an avid history enthusiast and a parent, I am always on the lookout for engaging and educational books that can captivate my children's interest in the subject. "Great Battles for Boys: Bunker Hill to WWI" exceeded my expectations on all fronts, making it an absolute gem in our family library. From the moment I picked up this book, I was impressed with the attention to detail and the beautifully presented information. The author, Joe Giorello, has a remarkable talent for simplifying complex historical events and presenting them in a manner that is both informative and accessible to young readers. This book is perfectly suited for boys aged 8-12, but it can certainly be enjoyed by readers of all ages. The book takes readers on an incredible journey through some of the most significant battles in history, covering a wide range of conflicts from the American Revolution to World War I. Each battle is meticulously described, allowing young readers to visualize and understand the strategies, key figures, and outcomes of these momentous events. The inclusion of maps, illustrations, and photographs further enhances the reading experience, making it all the more immersive. One aspect that sets "Great Battles for Boys" apart from other history books is its interactive nature. Throughout the chapters, readers are encouraged to actively engage in the material through trivia questions, hypothetical scenarios, and thought-provoking discussion points. This interactive approach not only keeps young readers engaged and entertained but also encourages critical thinking and a deeper understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, I appreciated the inclusion of personal stories and firsthand accounts, which added a human element to the historical events. By highlighting the experiences of individual soldiers and their contributions, this book successfully humanizes the battles and helps young readers relate to the courageous men who fought on the frontlines. In terms of writing style, Giorello has a knack for keeping the narrative engaging and exciting without sacrificing historical accuracy. The pacing is well-balanced, and the author's passion for history shines through in every chapter. It's clear that extensive research was conducted, and the information is presented in a manner that is both educational and entertaining. In conclusion, "Great Battles for Boys: Bunker Hill to WWI" is an outstanding resource for history enthusiasts and young readers alike. With its engaging writing style, interactive elements, and comprehensive coverage of pivotal battles, this book is an excellent addition to any library. Highly recommended!

8yo son and mom love this book
Format: Paperback
I’m a mom of two boys and one girl. I would first like to address the people complaining about the title saying “for boys.” The author has addressed this too and it’s part of the reason why I purchased this book. Boys are falling behind in school and reading. Not sure why some people are allowed to review these books when they haven’t read them or purchased them. Do your research if you have a boy in your life. I would also like to point out that bookstores frequently have shelves dedicated to girls about strong women, strong girls, etc and yes boys can read books in those sections just like girls can read these Great Battles for Boys books. My 8yo son loves history and is devouring this book. I highly recommend. This book is really exciting and I (mom) am enjoying it too. We use it for read aloud time and independent reading. As soon as I finish this review I will be ordering more in the series, per my sons request.
