I just ordered mine from Amazon. Prime delivery is at 7 tov10 days, but I know it'll be worth the wait. Good luck, Chef AJ! I hope you achieve your dream of becoming a best-selling author!

[@Snoopyzell]

I pre ordered my book ... just need to wait for the delivery to New Zealand... looking forward to it... And to help towards the best selling list I ordered an extra one as a gift for a friend...

I don't eat the low protein low fat type diet as per AJ / Dr McDougall, but still happy to purchase a copy of her book. AJ has been giving advice online for ages, going back to the "Chef and Dietitian" with Julianna Hever.

[@paulcohen6727]

I wonder if the recipe taste as good using peanut butter powder instead. I’ve never tried it, but they say it is lower in calories than regular peanuts since it’s much lower in fat.

[@seufznerv2234]

Book in Britain not out till the end of September and sadly quite expensive.

[@debbiekiefer4938]

How would I find out about the details Chef AJs meet up group? Dates, times, etc. Can't find on FB.

[@extropiantranshuman]

chef aj's the one that I have the most questions for - because she's such a reserve of knowledge. I think Chuck asked the right questions - really digging into what matters - I'm so glad I have chuck to wake up to - he's really talented and great to be a part of PCRM - much like Dustin Harder, and of course Dr. Barnard! I didn't watch the show fully, but if I was going to ask her a question - I'd ask about how this book fits into the theme of the other books, like unprocessed. I know that she did bring it up a few times in her other promo videos for this book, and she talks about it here, but I know I would want to hone in on figuring that out.

[@Passion4God238]

Happy birthday Chuck!

[@kimclaudi]

Are there any nut free recipes? I find I’m allergic to most “healthy” dessert recipes 😢

[@noimilnikel460]

Yum❤

🎉Happy Birthday Chuck

[@jillcal1]

how many cups of peanuts?

[@extropiantranshuman]

I think chef aj does a great service with this book. Cane sugar is one of the most corrosive of plant-based foods out there for the body and even for the planet - the amazon and mangrove deforestation, etc. I prefer eating the whole stevia leaf - I feel stevia is much more eco of an option - you can grow it in one's backyard. I know people don't like the taste, but I like the taste more than regular sugar at times, although regular sugar has its perks too when it comes to taste. I like maple syrup, but I see why she moves away from it - it's too sweet.

[@pete49327]

I eat oatmeal daily and sweeten with berries and banana, but still yearn for that extra little boost of sweetness, which is 1 to 1-1/2 teaspoons of brown cane sugar. That's what Dr. McDougall suggests when ya just gotta sweeten your oatmeal a tad. I don't see a real benefit to using date sugar for oatmeal since calorie/carb/sugars about identical to table or cane sugar. The healthy nutrients and minerals in date sugar are miniscule for just one teaspoon and cost more. This is the only added sugar I add to food daily and I eat no other sweets or candies, and my oat milk is unsweetened. I know Dr. Esselstyn likes raisins on his oatmeal, but those are sugar dense too. I'll stick to my cane sugar.

[@annemccarron2281]

But sugar causes cellular inflammation unlike date syrup.

[@CHEFAJ]

More vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, micronutrients, not addictive and tastes better

[@pete49327]

@@CHEFAJ Okay, okay, I'll have to give it a try, I admit I've never tried date sugar, thank you ChefAJ:)

[@polibm6510]

Fruit is sugar (glucose, fructose).

[@extropiantranshuman]

I know - I don't like when they say 'no sugar' - because it does have sugar. It should say 'no cane sugar' or 'no refined sugar' or something like that. Maybe even 'no inner stem condensed sugar' - because it seems like that's what she's about - not quite sure. She could say 'WFPB sugar' or even 'whole food sugar only'. I just don't get it.

[@extropiantranshuman]

it looks like she really just stuck to dates. I was wondering why not other foods - like raisins, but then I realized raisins are dried grapes and dates are just the way they are. I wonder what her thoughts on dried fruit is - if she put it in the cookbook or anyway. Maybe it's not a 'whole food' - as it has the water removed. Whole food - it still gets me confused.

[@truthseeker1959]

Healthy desserts? Nah, the medical community would never approve of that….lol.

[@beepbeepnj2658]

The last time Jack LaLanne had a dessert was in 1937.
