"The photographs are gorgeous and the write ups are very
interesting." -Man of La Book "It's gorgeous and full of delicious
sounding recipes." -Read. Eat. Repeat. "What an amazing book! The
pictures are gorgeous!... I also enjoyed the travel stories and
health information to incorporate into every day cooking and
eating. So many great recipes that I can't wait to try!"
-Instagram: @books_with_bethany "The Blue Zones Kitchen is an
beautifully presented package and contains the kind of page-turing
information that will make it hard to put this book down once
you've started, unless it's to try out one of the tantalizing but
healthy dishes pictured on its pages." -Run Wright "I've already
flagged almost half the book to try. The Okinawa and Ikaria
sections are definitely looking like they'll be my favorites, but
honestly, there is so much deliciousness in these pages. Plus, you
need a solid cookbook collection for eternal life. " -Instagram:
@jenabrownwrights "Who doesn't want to live longer, right?... This
book has a ton of recipes, bright and beautiful pictures of both
food and culture, and for the weirdos out there like me, the cover
has an awesome book-feel." -Instagram: @thelastbiteblog
"As with any National Geographic book, the photography and
presentation are both stunning. It drives you to want to make the
food as soon as you can." -Jennifer - Tar Heel Reader "It was chock
full of delicious recipes, beautiful photographs, and fascinating
stories about the five regions (blue zones) that are the focus of
this awesome cookbook. I absolutely LOVED flipping through and
reading about Sardinia and Okinawa. This was truly a gem of a
book." -A Bookish Way of Life "The Blue Zones Kitchen is so much
more than a cookbook! I like that the recipes have a backstory
thanks to Dan Buettner's research. I really enjoyed all aspects of
the book." -Living My Best Book Life "It's a beautiful book, full
of National Geographic quality photographs, not only of the food,
but of the people who cook it in their environments." -Eliot's Eats
"The Blue Zones Kitchen is actually more than a cookbook, it's also
a wellness book, a travelogue and a resource for healthy eating and
longevity. Because it is published by National Geographic, you know
it's going to be full of beautiful and breathtaking photos of food
as well as the blue zones it represents and some of the people
living their best lives in the five blue zones." -Kahakai Kitchen
"I think this is a great book to add to any cookbook collection."
-From the TBR Pile "Cookbooks aren't something that I typically
read through. I love buying them and flipping through the recipes,
making a dish here and there, but that's about as much love as they
usually get from me. The Blue Zones Kitchen, though, I
literally read through this entire book front to back. The idea of
these Blue Zones was so fascinating to me, but the stories of the
people in these areas is what I found truly captivating. I loved
reading about the author's journey through these communities, and
how food plays a part in their daily lives. Dan Buettner's detailed
storytelling paired with the beautiful photographs from David
McLain reminded me of times when my own grandmother was teaching me
recipes that were passed down to her." -PNW Pixie "As a mid-level
foodie and kitchen improvisor who tries to eat mindfully (though
I'm not a vegetarian), I found this cookbook really expanded my
idea of meat-free eating." -Bibliotica "About 15 years ago,
National Geographic Fellow Dan Buettner identified the places
around the world where people live the longest and he drew a blue
line around each area. He discovered specific dietary habits that
people in those Blue Zones had in common, and developed this
cookbook filled with recipes inspired by those locations: Sardinia,
Italy; Nicoya, Costa Rica; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan and Loma
Linda, California. Food is a great way to get to know a culture,
and these stories and photos will whet your appetite. Now is an
ideal time to try these recipes; if you live to be 100, you just
may get to visit all five places in person." -Forbes.com "It sure
is tempting to think that you could (healthfully) eat your way to
100." -Better Homes & Gardens "It'll help you lose weight
and live longer--but this is definitely not your typical fad
diet."
-Shape.com "Simply put, Dan Buettner has written the ultimate
manual for longevity." -NY Journal of Books "As our "Eating
to 100 TODAY" series continues, special anchor Maria Shriver
reports on "The Blue Zones Kitchen," in which author Dan Buettner
shares recipes from places where people live longer and healthier.
He says one common denominator among long-lived people is a
plant-based diet." -MSN.com "So, that's what people in the Blue
Zones do to make it past 100 years old. No elixirs, pills, or
workout regimens here. Their "fountain of youth" is really quite
simple--staying active; eating whole, plant-based carbs; and
socializing with friends can really add years to your life."
-MindBodyGreen "Blue Zone residents, whether they're home in Loma
Linda, California; Ikaria, Greece; Okinawa, Japan; Sardinia, Italy;
or Nicoya, Costa Rica, all eat very little meat. Instead, they
subsist on a largely plant-based diet filled with beans, nuts, and
cruciferous vegetables, which Buettner has written about in a new
cookbook." -Business Insider "His list of staples shows that eating
foods linked to longevity doesn't require a big food budget or
living near a grocery market filled with all the
latest-and-greatest products. The key is eating a plant-forward
diet and whole grains--all foods you can find no matter where in
the world you live." -Well + Good "In his book, Buettner lays out
many dos and don'ts for longevity diets and has a helpful guideline
to get you on the longevity path...Other tips from Buettner's book
includes retreating from meat, cutting down on fish, reducing
dairy, slashing sugar, and eating lots of beans and nuts...Luckily,
Buettner has an entire book of 100 recipes to help guide us along
the way." -La Cucina Italiana
