With Alzheimer’s in the top three deaths more and more people are arming themselves with the MIND diet to help stave off early onset or symptoms associated with. The book has a wealth of lovely recipes to help you eat better and this would be a great start for anyone looking to eat healthier.

What did I like? You had me at fish tacos. White fish tacos are delicious and I found the recipe in this book eye catching. From zoodles to that berry ice cream I found plenty of healthy recipes that just look delicious. The book starts off with a very brief introduction to the MIND diet but after that it’s all recipes..

Would I recommend or buy? Anyone looking to start eating MIND recipes or just healthier would benefit here, lack of pictures just deter me from buying. I love recipe books that really give a picture per recipe but the pictures the book does have are mouth watering. I think the author could have added a few more. The recipes themselves are pretty detailed with a tiny story, and even substitutions.

Thoughts for the author? Kudos to some great recipes and for trying to help people become healthier. Thanks for a copy to read so I can offer my opinion. Four stars.

THE ULTIMATE MIND DIET COOKBOOK by Amanda Foote, a registered dietician, involves "100 Recipes to Help Prevent Alzheimer's and Dementia." She divides the cookbook portion into pretty standard chapters: Breakfast, Snacks, Salads, Soups and Stews, Vegan Entrees, Seafood, Poultry, and Drinks and Desserts. In addition to delicious and relatively easy recipes like Chicken Tortilla Soup or One-Pan Halibut, Foote includes charts about "Foods to Reach For" and stresses the importance of antioxidants. And, there is a meal planning section with a chart to help track consumption of daily recommendations (3 servings of whole grains, 1 salad with leafy greens, 1 additional serving of vegetables and an optional serving of red wine). Several pages provide bibliographic information on journal articles and other publications about the MIND diet. For an additional cookbook idea, see Meals that Heal, some of which deal with brain health.

Very nice cookbook! There are lots of recipes that I would definitely make at home. Most of the recipes are easy to make and they all sound delicious! I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review
