SELECTED PRAISE FOR
The Plant-Powered Diet
Registered dietitian Sharon Palmer wrote a book that is much like a superfood: dense with the good stuff. The abundance of information in the first half is worth its weight in kale, then followed by 75 of the authors own, family-tested recipes. This is a tome ideal for flexitarians and new vegans who are still learning.
