Introduction: Incredibly Delicious
“You are cordially invited to enjoy a cuisine for the ages - ancient yet modern, simple but elegant, a key to better health, and now - thanks to Incredibly Delicious: Recipes for a New Paradigm - made to taste fabulous! Through many years of innovative cooking (and endless tasting), the people of Gentle World have created this sumptuous collection of vegan (pure vegetarian) recipes. The pages are lovingly filled with ideas for tasty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, soups, salads, side dishes and desserts, and richly seasoned with thoughtful quotes from across the centuries, to feed your heart, mind and spirit.
As a physician, I can attest that if all my patients adopted a diet based on these high-fiber, cholesterol-free foods, we would have a much healthier population. Lower risk of heart disease and colon cancer, as well as actual reduction of elevated blood pressure and cholesterol levels, are predictable benefits from nourishing your body on the ingredients utilized in these recipes. Witnessing the wonderful changes in people as they evolve their diet to this style of eating - becoming more energetic and functional while escaping the plagues of obesity and chronic disease - is always a great joy for this doctor. How wonderful that such powerful medicine can be created in the kitchen!
As a man who loves great-tasting food, I can also attest (after having enjoyed many of these delectable dishes myself) that you are in for a treat with every meal. As a person who wishes to bring peace and healing to my life and to our planet, I appreciate that the recipes in Incredibly Delicious allow me to remove the products of violence from my dining table, and thus to reduce damage and suffering in the world around me.
One could spend a lifetime eating these foods - in fact, I strongly encourage you to do so. Such a lifetime should be a long and healthy one, and sure to be filled with memorable culinary experiences. This banquet of a book celebrates the best in life and will be your guide to great eating for the next thousand years. I highly recommend it and invite you to enjoy the feast.”
