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。

Kindle version is unreadableAll landscape two page spreads with microscopic type。 No Kindle friendly contents or indexing。The print version may be good， certainly lots of pretty pictures。

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

Destined to be a classic， The Blue Zones American Cookbook combines Dan Buettner’s worldwide Blue Zone exploration with regional American cooking。 This sampler cookbook features Native American， African American and Asian American recipes。 The dishes are largely plant based and， while they require some ingredients that may be difficult to source （yellow mustard flowers， chlorophyll， masarepa corn flour， benne seeds）， the meals sound delicious and substitutions can be made。 Since this is a brief Destined to be a classic， The Blue Zones American Cookbook combines Dan Buettner’s worldwide Blue Zone exploration with regional American cooking。 This sampler cookbook features Native American， African American and Asian American recipes。 The dishes are largely plant based and， while they require some ingredients that may be difficult to source （yellow mustard flowers， chlorophyll， masarepa corn flour， benne seeds）， the meals sound delicious and substitutions can be made。 Since this is a brief cookbook， this may be addressed in another section。 I look forward to the complete Blue Zones American Cookbook。 The author and the blue zones recipe concept will surely rate the 5 stars that I give to the sampler。 Thank you to NetGalley， National Geographic Books， Dan Buettner and photographer David McLain for this ARC。 。。。more

National Geographic publishes lush titles with beautiful photos。 This book looks to be no exception to that practice。This time it is an intriguing look at cooking for health。 The “blue zones” are places where people have lived to a very ripe old age。 What have they eaten that has sustained them so well？ This cookbook offers the general reader and cook the chance to find out and try some of the plant based recipes。 The author （in the full book） looks at lifestyles and foods from the Hmong in Minn National Geographic publishes lush titles with beautiful photos。 This book looks to be no exception to that practice。This time it is an intriguing look at cooking for health。 The “blue zones” are places where people have lived to a very ripe old age。 What have they eaten that has sustained them so well？ This cookbook offers the general reader and cook the chance to find out and try some of the plant based recipes。 The author （in the full book） looks at lifestyles and foods from the Hmong in Minnesota and Quakers in New England to name just two of the groups whose recipes are featured。 In completing his task， Mr。 Buettner has consulted with over fifty experts。This review is based upon the sample that was available for advanced reading。 From what I can see， this book will make you hungry。 Note that I have not seen the entire book。Many thanks to NetGalley and National Geographic for this title。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

The sampler of The Blue Zones American Kitchen is a brief glimpse at what promises to be a beautiful cookbook。 The mouthwatering photography is lovely to gawk at and the recipes look marvellous。 The blue zones are the areas of the world where life expectancy is high。。。as in 100+ years！ No wonder people yearn to learn more about plant-forward eating。 The premise is a fusion of North American ingredients with old world dishes。 I like that。The layout is streamlined but it is surprising that conside The sampler of The Blue Zones American Kitchen is a brief glimpse at what promises to be a beautiful cookbook。 The mouthwatering photography is lovely to gawk at and the recipes look marvellous。 The blue zones are the areas of the world where life expectancy is high。。。as in 100+ years！ No wonder people yearn to learn more about plant-forward eating。 The premise is a fusion of North American ingredients with old world dishes。 I like that。The layout is streamlined but it is surprising that considering it is a healthier lifestyle book the nutritional information is excluded。 Some ingredients would be difficult to grow/source and they are amongst those which contribute to longevity。 However， there is scope for substitutions if one wishes。 I am intrigued to learn more and would be happy to see and cook from the book in its entirety。 If the Mushroom Medley Soup （（I will use wild mushrooms foraged myself） is indicative of what is in store， we are in for a treat！ My sincere thank you to National Geographic and NetGalley for the privilege of salivating over this sampling of inspiring recipes！ 。。。more

The Blue Zones American Kitchen Sampler is a short look at the longer book which delves into five areas of North America where people live the longest and explores what they eat。 The sampler is， again， very short， but gives an idea of the recipes available。 It is a combination of North American ingredients combined with foods brought in from other countries。 I was happy to see a Native American dish included in this short preview。 This sampler does pique my interest as to what is in the full-len The Blue Zones American Kitchen Sampler is a short look at the longer book which delves into five areas of North America where people live the longest and explores what they eat。 The sampler is， again， very short， but gives an idea of the recipes available。 It is a combination of North American ingredients combined with foods brought in from other countries。 I was happy to see a Native American dish included in this short preview。 This sampler does pique my interest as to what is in the full-length book。I reviewed a temporary digital sampler of this book from the publisher via Netgalley。 My review is voluntary and the opinions expressed are my own。 。。。more

I received a sample of this book to review。 From what I saw， it looked like I had some of the recipes from the first section， "Indigenous， Native and Early American。" The recipes and the pictures were wonder and the steps for the unusual foods were easy to follow。 I look forward to the official release so that I may purchase this book and try some of the other recipes from this book。I recommend this book with anyone with a curiosity for new， to you， recipes。I received this sampler from NetGalley I received a sample of this book to review。 From what I saw， it looked like I had some of the recipes from the first section， "Indigenous， Native and Early American。" The recipes and the pictures were wonder and the steps for the unusual foods were easy to follow。 I look forward to the official release so that I may purchase this book and try some of the other recipes from this book。I recommend this book with anyone with a curiosity for new， to you， recipes。I received this sampler from NetGalley and National Geographic in exchange for my honest review。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more
