Summary


Best-selling Blue Zones Kitchen author Dan Buettner spent years uncovering the Blue Zones--the five places around the world where people consistently live to or past， 100--and sharing lifestyle tips and recipes gleaned from these places。 Now， creating your own Blue Zone at home is easier than ever， thanks to plant-forward recipes in this inspiring book--all developed right in our own backyard。

In Blue Zones American Kitchen， Buettner uncovers the traditional roots of plant-forward cuisine in the United States。 Following the acumen of heritage cooks who have passed their recipes from generation to generation， Buettner uncovers the regions and cultures that have shaped America’s healthiest food landscapes， from Hmong elders living in Minnesota to Quakers in New England。 Along the way， he illuminates both traditional and revolutionary ideas in vegetarian food with recipes from chefs like executive chef James Wayman， “the Gullah chef” Bill Green， and “the Cod Chef” Dave Smoke-McCluskey。

With wisdom from more than 50 food experts， chefs， and cooks around the country， Buettner’s road trip across America sheds light on some of its most under-recognized plant-forward communities as Buettner shares the ingredients， recipes， and lifestyle tips that will make living to 100 both delicious and easy。 And the proof is in the pudding: 49 Blue Zones Project Cities have demonstrated that eating the Blue Zones way can alleviate obesity， heart disease， diabetes， and more。

Filled with 100 tasty recipes， from Pennsylvania Dutch apple dumplings to Southern Hoppin’ John， Blue Zones American Kitchen will change your diet--and your life。

I love Dan Buettner’s Blue Zones research—some of the most exciting and useful information extant about happiness and longevity。 This one’s a fascinating journey in search of what Americans ate before the standard American diet—ie， the cause of diabetes， cardiovascular disease and obesity。 The findings？ Pre-SAD diets—Latin， Asian， African， and Native American—were full of Blue Zones type food that promote heath and longevity。

Ivy Wolfe ，

The whole first section of recipes is about historical diets。 These recipe celebrate traditional foods to Native Americans， Native Hawaiians， African Americans， Asian Americans， and Latin Americans （where the Tex-Mex section is found）。 The second section is geared towards regional dished like cornbread and etouffee。 There is a little bit for everyone。

It's a gorgeous cookbook and the concept is good， but there are a lot of recipes with ingredients that are hard to find in them unless you order online or go to specialty shops （or live in， say， Hawaii？） It really does have beautiful pics and tasty recipes but I think I liked the first Blue Zones cookbook better。 It's a gorgeous cookbook and the concept is good， but there are a lot of recipes with ingredients that are hard to find in them unless you order online or go to specialty shops （or live in， say， Hawaii？） It really does have beautiful pics and tasty recipes but I think I liked the first Blue Zones cookbook better。 。。。more

I marked a bunch of recipes to try。

Sandra ，

Great stories about chefs， and beautiful pictures。 Unfortunely many of recipes have hard to find ingredients。

Jes ，

Less useful for recipes than for inspiration and tons of information。 I deeply enjoyed reading it cover to cover。

Angie ，

Another cookbook from the new book section of the library。 Like the other Blue Zones cookbook， which I own， it is an interesting look at plant based foods from a variety of cultures。 The photographs are inspiring; however， quite a few recipes are inaccessible to readers in rural areas unless ordered online。 Suggestions for locally available substitutions would have been appreciated。

Fran ，

It’s odd to think of reading a cookbook， but in this book there are so many stories of chefs from a variety of cultures of long-lived people who are changing the culinary world in America， that this book is a fascinating read。 All of these cultures are plant forward and， although the recipes contain lots of ingredients that I don’t have in my kitchen， they are inspirational for experimenting with alternatives。

Betsy ，

Part historical narrative， part cookbook， I had great hopes for this one。 Perhaps if I was less familiar with Blue Zone living and the evolution of American culture I would have found this more engaging。 The recipes didn't wow me but I really enjoyed reading this and the photography was lovely。 Part historical narrative， part cookbook， I had great hopes for this one。 Perhaps if I was less familiar with Blue Zone living and the evolution of American culture I would have found this more engaging。 The recipes didn't wow me but I really enjoyed reading this and the photography was lovely。 。。。more

Gorgeous pictures and interesting narrative but the recipes don’t feel that accessible for the average American kitchen （although maybe that’s the point :） Love the way the author incorporated his dad！

Jessica ，

I didn't make even one recipe from this book although I tagged several。 Mostly vegetarian and anti-dairy。 Not the diet for me。 I'm glad I read this rather than wasting my time reading the first book。 I didn't make even one recipe from this book although I tagged several。 Mostly vegetarian and anti-dairy。 Not the diet for me。 I'm glad I read this rather than wasting my time reading the first book。 。。。more

Sandra ，

I liked the original Blue Zones Kitchen much better - recipes seemed simpler， with fewer and easy to find ingredients and I liked the taste profiles of Sardinia， Ikaria and Nicoya more than those in this cookbook。 That said， I enjoyed reading the story behind the research and found several recipes I’d like to try

Kelly ，

Section on the blue zones is interesting， but I wasn’t inspired to try the recipes from this particular book。

Tara Sypien ，

Oh my gosh I love this book！ I have been experimenting with a plant based diet the past year and I want to try so many recipes in this book。 Basically the author looks for Blue Zones， areas where people commonly live over 80， in the USA and breaks down the different regions and their recipes in the book。 People who live in Blue Zones eat 90% plants。 They mostly eat greens， beans， nuts， and grains。 They eat meat， eggs， and dairy very sparingly。 His recipes are all vegetarian and mostly vegan。 And Oh my gosh I love this book！ I have been experimenting with a plant based diet the past year and I want to try so many recipes in this book。 Basically the author looks for Blue Zones， areas where people commonly live over 80， in the USA and breaks down the different regions and their recipes in the book。 People who live in Blue Zones eat 90% plants。 They mostly eat greens， beans， nuts， and grains。 They eat meat， eggs， and dairy very sparingly。 His recipes are all vegetarian and mostly vegan。 And they all look so good！ He also wrote another cook book that looks at Blue Zones around the world and I have that one waiting for me to read as well。 This one is a library book and I will look to see if I can find a used copy online to buy。 。。。more

I'm reserving my rating until I've made more than one recipe--but I really enjoyed it。 It is as much NatGeo travelogue as it is a cookbook。 I'm reserving my rating until I've made more than one recipe--but I really enjoyed it。 It is as much NatGeo travelogue as it is a cookbook。 。。。more

This is a beautifully photographed ambitious recipe book with interesting information about indigenous foods and healthy preparations。 I enjoyed reading about the featured chefs and foods。 While all the data supports eating healthier plant based foods， I didn’t find any recipes I would incorporate into my home kitchen。

This gorgeously photographed cookbook offers a wide variety of plant based recipes from multicultural sources （Indigenous/Native American， African American， Latin American， Asian American， and Regional/Contemporary American） in the United States。 It's based off of the Blue Zone research of people around the world who live the longest and healthiest。 Arguing that by lessening our reliance on eating meat， typical Americans can vastly increase the quality of their lives， Dan Buettner not only gives This gorgeously photographed cookbook offers a wide variety of plant based recipes from multicultural sources （Indigenous/Native American， African American， Latin American， Asian American， and Regional/Contemporary American） in the United States。 It's based off of the Blue Zone research of people around the world who live the longest and healthiest。 Arguing that by lessening our reliance on eating meat， typical Americans can vastly increase the quality of their lives， Dan Buettner not only gives a sampling of delicious recipes but also shares stories from the people who passed them along。This book is a delight for the foodie and photography/human interest lover alike。 Special thanks to National Geographic for this GoodReads giveaway win。 。。。more

3。5 stars rounded down。 This was a lovely， albeit difficult book to read in ebook format。 Try and get a physical copy if at all possible and save your eyes。

Sarah Taylor-Barkley ，

I'm sure these recipes would be delicious if a chef prepared them for me。 The ingredients are obscure （unfortunately， as there is an earnest focus on native American foods） and the recipes are complicated。 There are a handful of recipes （out of 100！！！） I would consider weekday meals， and only a handful of others I would set aside as weekend projects， leaving about 75% of the recipes there to gaze at longingly。 This is NOT the cookbook for those hoping to incorporate standard Blue Zones fare into I'm sure these recipes would be delicious if a chef prepared them for me。 The ingredients are obscure （unfortunately， as there is an earnest focus on native American foods） and the recipes are complicated。 There are a handful of recipes （out of 100！！！） I would consider weekday meals， and only a handful of others I would set aside as weekend projects， leaving about 75% of the recipes there to gaze at longingly。 This is NOT the cookbook for those hoping to incorporate standard Blue Zones fare into their daily or weekly meal rotations。 3 stars for centering indigenous and cultural foods。 。。。more

This is Dan Buettner’s second Blue Zones cookbook in which he shares recipes from longevity hotspots around the United States。 A Blue Zone is an area that has been identified as being a locale in which the inhabitants live significantly longer than in other areas， sometimes beyond 100 years。 This particular cookbook is from places in the United States and brings us recipes representative of the different areas and ethnicities。 The first Blue Zones cookbook was global and presented recipes from J This is Dan Buettner’s second Blue Zones cookbook in which he shares recipes from longevity hotspots around the United States。 A Blue Zone is an area that has been identified as being a locale in which the inhabitants live significantly longer than in other areas， sometimes beyond 100 years。 This particular cookbook is from places in the United States and brings us recipes representative of the different areas and ethnicities。 The first Blue Zones cookbook was global and presented recipes from Japan， Okinawa， Costa Rica， Sardinia， and Loma Linda， California。 The recipes in both books use quality whole food ingredients and cooking techniques meant to maintain and improve your health。I received a sample of this cookbook from the publisher via NetGalley; it contained some narrative and I believe seven recipes。 Even though this sample was small the photos were GORGEOUS。 Of course， with it being published by National Geographic， you would expect they would use only the best photos。All of the recipes in the sample looked good， but I decided to make the Butter Beans with Benne Seeds and Okra。 Benne Seeds are a heritage type of sesame seed that sadly is difficult for me to obtain。 I decided to use sesame seeds knowing the flavor wouldn’t be exact。 Per the recipe， I toasted and then crushed those sesame seeds; I couldn’t really “pound” them， but I did crush them using my mortar and pestle。This was an easy recipe and so delicious！ I decided I would serve this stew over brown rice for lunch; it was very filling and had a fresh flavor。 The only other changes I made to this recipe was to add some vegetable base and some garlic base， both vegan， to add depth。 My husband and I discussed this recipe and the cookbook while we were eating， and when we were done he said “Go ahead and get the cookbook if you want it。” Which I promptly did！ Now I am impatiently awaiting its arrival。 I recommend it based upon the sample recipes I saw and the previous Blue Zones cookbook which I bought about 2 weeks ago。 A big thank you to Dan Buettner， National Geographic， and NetGalley for allowing me to read a sample of this cookbook pre-publication。 I received nothing for my review and my opinions are my own。 。。。more

Chelsie ，

Loved the concept。 The recipes weren’t my style （mostly seemed like obscure things that weren’t common）。 But maybe that’s the whole point 🤣 I just feel like I’ve read other blue zone cookbooks with more easily accessible ingredients to a common person。

I have purchased the Blue zones cookbooks。 This new one is just has fabulous as the his other cookbooks。 Great recipes。 easy to make。 Love the stories in his cookbooks。 Great for somebody who wants a healthier lifestyle 。

It is difficult to determine the quality of this book with 8 pages of a sampler。 It looks to be interesting and the idea of 100 recipes to live to 100 is intriguing。 I would like to have seen the whole book before giving my opinionThanks to the author， National Geographic and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review。

I love that author Dan Buettner decided to find American-made recipes similar to the more-worldly ones used in the previous "Blue Zone" titles。 In the sampler-version of this new book， "The Blue Zones American Kitchen" as read on NetGalley， the recipes I read are tasty-looking recipes from various locations in the United States。 These locations' cooks focus on indigenous ingredients and plant-based cooking， just like in the previous "Blue Zones" titles。 The Contents-list mentions Native-American I love that author Dan Buettner decided to find American-made recipes similar to the more-worldly ones used in the previous "Blue Zone" titles。 In the sampler-version of this new book， "The Blue Zones American Kitchen" as read on NetGalley， the recipes I read are tasty-looking recipes from various locations in the United States。 These locations' cooks focus on indigenous ingredients and plant-based cooking， just like in the previous "Blue Zones" titles。 The Contents-list mentions Native-American， Latin-American， and Regional American recipes; some of the ingredients used in these include squash， corn， blueberries， beans， mushrooms， nuts -- healthful and tasty foods that our ancestors put together with lots of herbs and regionally tested cooking methods。 Some of the local / regional ingredients may be new to readers; Buettner gives interesting information about these within the recipe itself。 He also gives substitutions for the more-difficult of these to acquire （and online food sellers， as well as local shops， will be of use for readers determined to try the recipes as written）。I cannot wait to hold this new book in my hands， once it is published！ I loved reading about the Blue Zones， when Buettner first started writing about these locations。 It is great to know an American version of this idea is coming soon。 。。。more
