This book deserves a place on the shelf of every culinary enthusiast!" - Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melina, co-authors of Becoming Vegan: Comprehensive Edition (2014) and the award-winning, Becoming Vegan: Express Edition (2013)"Dietitian Matt Ruscigno, a respected authority on diet and chronic disease, shows readers how chocolate--yes, chocolate!--can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and dementia. There is no hype here--just the kind of solid research and science-based advice that Matt is known for. And wow--the recipes! There are cookies and cake, of course, but the show-stoppers are healthy, savory dishes like Velvety Chocolate Vegetable Tarts and Chocolate Marinara Sauce, and a chocolate-infused guacamole. This is healthy eating at its best: simple, incredibly delicious, and fun." - Virginia Messina, author of Vegan for Life and Vegan for Her"I knew cacao was both delicious and super nutritious. But what I didn't know was how it could be so extensively used to create such a wide diversity of amazing recipes with the depth and texture to please even the most finicky connoisseur. Superfoods for Life: Cacao educates and inspires with a fresh take on this miraculous superfood with a diversity of unique and accessible recipes.

  People will always be drawn by a force stronger than gravity to do whatever is fastest, easiest, and cheapest.
