Reading further, learn about some new and very large studies indicating that consumption of red meat not only increases mortality from degenerative diseases, but from strokes as well. There's information on a unique court case where the judge is assessing liability for potential damage to the Earth's atmosphere for future generations, the environmental impact of eating shrimp vs. beef, the brewing eco-storm, continued warnings about too much salt, and take action against the collective evils of Monsanto.

Dr. Greger's Review of "Heart Healthy Pizza"

You can read the full review of the 1st Vegan Pizza Cookbook here.  An excerpt:

"Although it might seem arrogant and pretentious to call these the "most nutritious pizzas in the world," one would be hard pressed to think of any others that would be as healthy and beneficial to one's diet.  Mark takes full advantage of the abundance of phytochemicals in fresh vegetables and whole grains in these recipes to raise the bar on vegan cooking and demonstrates a unique and creative approach to making one of the most popular foods in the American diet not only a nutritious experience, but a enjoyable and tasty one as well.

Both vegans and non-vegans should check out "Heart Healthy Pizza."  As improbably as it might seem, pizza can truly be a healthy food!"

There's also some photos of a vegetable pizza I made last night with a "Millet, Sunflower Seed, Mustard, Horseradish" topping sauce.  Woof!

"Michael Greger, M.D., is a physician, author, and internationally recognized professional speaker on a number of important public health issues.Currently Dr. Greger proudly serves as the Director of Public Health and Animal Agriculture at the Humane Society of the United States.  His recent scientific publications in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Biosecurity and Bioterrorism, Critical Reviews in Microbiology, Family & Community Health, and the International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition, and Public Health explore the public health implications of industrialized animal agriculture.  Dr. Greger is also licensed as a general practitioner specializing in clinical nutrition and was a founding member of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine. He was featured on the Healthy Living Channel promoting his latest nutrition DVDs and honored to teach part of Dr. T. Colin Campbell's esteemed nutrition course at Cornell University."

Godairyfree Reviews "Heart Healthy Pizza"

Alisa Fleming, of the great "Godairyfree.org" website just posted a review of "Heart Healthy Pizza" (the 1st vegan pizza cookbook).

"It’s pizza party time! If you are vegan and jonesing for some cheesy pizza, then I have a book to share with you. Heart Healthy Pizza by Mark Sutton is a treasure-trove of vegan pizza concepts."

You can read the full review here.

Robin Robertson's Review of "Heart Healthy Pizza"

The well-known vegan chef, Robin Robertson, has written a review of "Heart Healthy Pizza" and is also offering a giveaway of a copy of the book.  You can read the full review here as well as enter the contest.

Many people aren't aware that Robin has written over 20+ veg'n cookbooks, so her opinion certainly means a lot to me.

So cool.  The photo at the left was shot by tester Valerie Wagner and shows the glistening "Quinoa, Artichoke, and Dijon Mustard Sauce."  One of the various photos Robin posted.

You can learn more about Heart Healthy Pizza (and order a copy) here.

"Re-Inventing Pizza" - 1st Major Review of 1st Vegan Pizza Cookbook

Excerpt:

"My very dear vegan friend has created a masterpiece. Yes, I admit that masterpiece does not come close to describing Mark Sutton's new book (Heart Healthy Pizza), but I am unable to find a superlative that comes close to describing Mark's magnum opus."

You can read the full review here.   FYI, Mark

Robin Robertson's Blurb about "Heart Healthy Pizza"

In a new blog post, Robin (who's written over 20 veg'n cookbooks) recommended three gifts for Valentine's Day.  One of them was the new "Heart Healthy Pizza" cookbook:

"For all the pizza lovers in your life, consider this brand new book by Mark Sutton: Heart Healthy Pizza: Over 100 Recipes for the Most Nutritious Pizza in the World.  Loaded with an astonishing array of sauces, crusts (many gluten-free), and toppings, these all-vegan pizzas contain no added oil and are made with a wide variety of vegetables, grains, beans, and other plant-based ingredients."

Robin will be doing a full blog review of the book soon.  You can view her V. Day post here.  Note:  Robin also believes, as I and others do, that this is the very 1st vegan pizza cookbook!

Cover for Heart Healthy Pizza Posted & Status Update

Final Cover Graphic for "Heart Healthy Pizza" (which includes the endorsements from Dr. Neal Barnard and the Esselstyns) is posted at:

http://www.hearthealthypizza.com/

I'm awaiting a physical proof of the book (NLT 02/6/12, so I've been told).  Once I approve the proof, the book will immediately be available for ordering at my website (being re-structured right now) and at my Amazon e-Store (also being worked on).

This month's delay was horrendous.  Between two software packages that weren't playing together nicely (the Microsoft-mind-setted LibreOffice was particularly difficult for me, a Mac bigot), and a losing horizontal altercation with a metal ladder that someone left where they shouldn't have (probably not permanent damage, but exquisitely painful when you sit at a desk for 10+ hrs. a day battling said software).  Combined, these unforeseen issues cost a lot of time and focus.  I designed and implemented the book's layout, as well as cover.

That all being said, at the earliest, the book will most likely next week (unless I bounce the proof which is unlikely!).  There is a small chance it'll happen this week, depends upon shipping.

I hope my cookbook helps a lot of people get rid of their taste addiction to added fat and learn how to make, literally, the "most nutritious pizza in the world" and that the six years of research and 3 years of writing has paid off.  Hardest project I've ever undertaken.

Best to all, Mark
