This week top plant-based physician Dr. Greger released his new tome – the How Not to Die cookbook – in the US.

The book contains more than 120 recipes for plant-based meals, snacks, and beverages.

According to the publisher: “Rooted in the latest nutrition science, these easy-to-follow, stunningly photographed recipes will appeal to anyone looking to live a longer, healthier life.”
