Be A Plant-Based Woman Warrior: Live Fierce, Stay Bold, Eat Delicious

Product Information

I can't wait to do it. And at first I'm like, oh my God, you got donuts in this book. Okay. This is like such a vintage, quintessential breakfast that I would love for you to just talk about it for a second, and that is you- You know, Rip, one of the salsas that actually, truthfully, started in Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease and has been truthfully, in some way or another, repeated in every book of yours and every book of ours is our mango, salsa, mango, lime bean salad.

Were the tofu cubes that you had in those big wooden salad bowls the other night, were those all the same variety or were they different varieties? The Three Goddesses, the power in the salad comes from two things. It comes from obviously the foundation of what greens you're using. And here in the Three Goddesses Salad, we have kale, romaine and Napa cabbage. Those are the Three Goddesses. And we read all about how they represent the goddesses in the book. We're not going to bore you with it now, but it's exciting. So that foundation's great. We should all accept the challenge to live long and die fast! The effect would be staggering: less medication, disease, and long- term care, and more living, activity, and—flat out— more quality time with those you love. You may be thinking, , How can the answerer to the many faces of lifestyle-related diseases and suffering be plants? It seems too simple. But we have seen the power of this way of eating too many times not to share and shout this message over the garden wall and from the mountaintops. There can truly be boundless health and hope ahead with a whole food, plant-based diet. Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior isn’t your typical cookbook. Truly, it’s a peek into our family history with stories, photos, quotes, and recipes from three generations of Esselstyns. Mostly, this book pays homage to the people who started it all - my parents - for forging and navigating that undiscovered path of plant-based nutrition at a time when no one understood how vital it was (including me and my siblings). I was trying to make salsa one night and I didn't have anything fruity or sweet. Because I kind of come like a little bit of the balance of the sweet with the onion, kind of almost coming from the chutney family. So I put in tiny little cubes, I mean, not minced watermelon, but just micro-cubed watermelon with all the other sort of typical salsa stuff. And it was so yummy and refreshing, because salsa brings a moisture and this refreshment and pop a flavor to whatever dish you're using. So that was a ton of fun to make that one.Calling all Ladies of the Nightshades, the Cruciferous Kingdom, the Fruit Forest, and the Whole Grains! We must unite in battle against our common enemies: Heart Disease, Stroke, Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and Cancer. Ann and Jane Esselstyn’s Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior deliciously details our strategy. This will become your sword and your truth; wield it in the kitchen daily, and victory will be ours!” —Kristi Funk, MD, breast cancer surgeon and bestselling author of Breasts: The Owner’s Manual While trail running, Ann once impaled her lower leg on a branch. Around this time, she had been reading a book about Genghis Khan’s unruly, violent upbringing, and so she figured she could handle a branch piercing her calf. She arrived at home looking fresh from a battle on the Mongolian steppes, with blood streaming down her leg. The ensuing IV antibiotics and gaping wound had her bedbound for a day. Point being, it takes a lot to momentarily impede this Plant- Based Woman Warrior. Well, I know, but I think it's great that you are... Obviously, it's part of this book, it's part of you sharing that experience and I applaud you for it. Did I say? Yeah, gravy. But first, before you go, I just want to say the photography in this is incredible

Well, if you have heart disease and don't want or are concerned about the sodium, that's an alternative. But you love balsamic vinegar because of, I think, the flavor that it gives different things. But you also love it because it has some medicinal purposes, right?

I made six or seven tubs of tofu so those were all the same. Because I just put them all in a big dish with Sophie. She helped me make them. We just did them all with the teriyaki, which is kind of close to our basic way to do it. Yeah. It was delicious. game. Game. Game, that you asked each family to do, or each person to do, which was, you've got to be a vegetable.

What was so funny is we were collecting salads for this cookbook. We were collecting recipes and we went through all the like, "Okay, let's see what we have," mid COVID, we sort of assessed everything. And we had like four breakfasts, eight lunches, six dinners. We had 44 desserts. We knew we were on the right path for a book for women. But what was so funny is that all the salads, I had different salads of greens and this and that. And every salad my mom sent me was a different arugula salad. She'd be like, "Oh, oh, try this one. Oh, oh, try this one." And finally I'm like, "Okay, we're just going to make an Ann's arugula section."That’s right, we’re celebrating the release of their new book, Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior , which is out and available now. Oh, Thanksgiving. I meant Thanksgiving. Everybody was bringing something. And I was thinking, this may not hit it. Guess what? It was the first dish that was totally bare and empty and eaten. Yeah. I want to try every one of them, but what about watermelon salsa? What can you tell me about that? And then you've also got... What's underneath it? Do you have some sort of green? Yesterday, you had some greens in there. Yeah. And it's so fun because you need to have yellow tomato and yellow pepper in it. And it is beautiful.
