The Jason Diet: Living the Plant Life

Immersion Blender (Stick Blender)

A good immersion blender is an essential tool in your kitchen. But I have an amazing (jar) blender already? Congratulations! Get one anyways. Unless…. But I don’t make soup You should really start making soup. Bonus points for using a strainer. Which one should I get? I’m doing some further research and testing, but Alton Brown says: Variable Speed Watts don’t equate to blending power Detachable parts for easy cleaning ...

The Laws of Cooking and How to Break Them

Lately, I’ve been watching a large amount of ‘Guy’s Grocery Games’. If you are new to the ‘Jason Diet’ I would not recommend it. It’s super crazy and over the top. But that’s all covered on that page, including when is a safe time to start watching, and what you should be looking for when watching. One thing to definitely look for? Justin Warner. I haven’t yet read this cookbook. I haven’t even purchased it yet....

Five Guys Burgers and Fries on a Plant-Based Diet

Going to do a full write up soon, but, if you want to order vegan at Five Guys, just get the amazing veggie sandwich and order it as a lettuce wrap.

How Not To Die

Written by Dr. Michael Greger MD, this book is an excellent addition and extension to Eat To Live. Organized by disease, each chapter details the food, research, and reasoning of how to best prevent or battle each way that you could die. The book does not reject modern medicine, but instead suggests preventing the need for medication, and complimenting modern treatments for all sorts of ailments. Basically, its the reason I try to get ginger before I fly, other than how great ginger tastes in a smoothie!...

Presto: How I Made 100 Pounds Disappear (and other magical Tales) by Penn Jilette

Just like the Book of Mormon (Musical) this book changed my life and can change yours too. The summary: Stop listening to other peoples bullshit, and apply logic and reasoning when making important life decisions (and maybe even reconsider those decisions periodically) If Eat To Live seems a little too boring and dry to get started, have Penn Jilette swear at you until you get healthy. Especially in audiobook form!...

Eat To Live: The Nutritarian Bible

This is the book that started it all. The nutritarian bible. Written by Dr. Joel Furhman MD, and often imitated, but never duplicated. The Dr. Is In (the recording booth) The audiobook version is great because it sounds like you are sitting in the exam room getting the advice first hand from Dr. Fuhrman himself. He’s a robot He does kind of seem a little unhuman at times, but, that helps serve his undying drive to stop his patients from dying from preventable disease....
