"What a unique and original idea: a collaboration between two people with vast amounts of real world experience in the trenches: a professional chef and an acclaimed doctor. George and Iula have put their brains together and shared with us not only the evolution of their thinking regarding what it means to truly 'eat healthy,' but a plethora of practical tips and recipes. We have been reading this book aloud to each other. It is a must-have for anyone who is interested in transforming their health, from the plant-curious to the plant-pro."

“Discover the simplicity of healing yourself with food.  This is a story of a community that learned first-hand the body’s amazing, God-given ability to heal itself.  This book is empowering the right message for now.  Read this and you will wonder “how did no one ever tell us this?” Chef Nick’s easy recipes demonstrate how cooking at home builds relationships, is an act of creativity, saves and gives time back to the family. And it’s just fun for everyone.”

     --Patrice Nitterhouse, CEO Penn National Golf Course Community

​

“As a retired physician (Pediatrics and Psychiatry) who majored in biology at MIT, I was surprised and intrigued by the biological information presented by Dr. George, most of which I too had not learned in college or medical school.  I found Chef Iula's recipes to be fun, tasty, and very helpful in my own transition to the whole foods plant-based diet, which subsequently led to multiple improvements in my own health (decreased arthritic pain, improved skin condition, and decreased hypertension).”

    --Glen Ruedisueli, M.D.

​

"When I joined Dr Liz George and the HEA pilot program in 2010, I wondered if I would be able to get the nutrients I needed to maintain the strength and energy required  to perform my job as a Certified Athletic Trainer .  With understanding the  scientific background and using recipes to cook Whole Foods plant based, I decreased my cholesterol level, gained increased energy and strength, and lost a few pounds. I also learned there are many professional athletes who are Whole Foods plant based. This is a must read for any athlete or individual who is considering Whole Foods plant-based." 

     --Marilyn Houck, Athletic Trainer
