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 James Beard Award-winner 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.

      At first glance, the idea of an American approach to the Blue Zones diet seems far-fetched and maybe even paradoxical. After all, the Standard American Diet is built on the foods that eaters in the Blue Zones eschew. Buettner (The Blue Zones Challenge) has curated a thoughtful collection of dishes that draw upon the origins of American foods and culinary traditions. He calls for more use of local ingredients and foods that have been grown and eaten in locales across the United States for centuries. Dishes include stir-fried cabbage and beets, hoppin' john, tofu scramble, whole cauliflower with makhani sauce, and other dishes drawing upon African, Latin, and Asian influences. VERDICT Some of Buettner's claims are perhaps heavy-handed (e.g., the book will add years to one's life), but the recipes and the stories behind them showcase what's best about food culture: its deeply rooted, community-building practices and the health benefits that accrue from eating in reflective, purposeful ways.--Emily Bowles
