- I love how balanced the recipes are, you don’t feel like you’re cooking “healthy “ recipes . Going to buy it for friends that are a little nervous about cooking seafood because all of the recipes are very approachable
- Great recipes and guide for pescatarian lifestyle.
- Lots of pretty new recipes I love. These will be great for years!
- For those of you who don’t already know “Pescatarian†is a type of Vegetarian. So quite a number of the recipes in this cookbook are geared for straight “veg, dairy, and grains†vegetarians. The Vegetarian Mains chapter features 13 such recipes while a few of the Breakfast chapter recipes are as well.
On the celebrity side of things, Wendie Malick, who was born in 1950 and looks TERRIFIC in her late 60s, is a Pescatarian. So, there must be something to this healthy living lifestyle.
This cookbook covers lacto-ovo-pescatarian recipes, meaning that they are vegetarian, some are vegan or easily adaptable, but some also include EGGS and DAIRY along with the Fish/Seafood component.
Hallissey devotes the first Chapter to defining and outlining what a Pescatarian Diet, Pescatarian Lifestyle is. Not a DIET diet, but diet, as in the eating structure, like for any other kind of Vegetarian.
I knew what Pescatarians were, so when I was offered a copy free by the publisher for an honest review, I was expecting a cookbook of mostly Fish centered recipes. That’s not exactly what Hallissey delivered. It is more truly a Pescatarian (as the title indicates, duh, yeah, April) cookbook. Secondarily, it’s supposed to be a healthy cookbook. But it also has quite a bit of content more geared for a Diet Cookbook. I would suggest that The Truly Healthy Pescatarian Diet Cookbook would be more accurate and truthful for what is delivered.
I was seriously interested in the title of Chapter 3 Finding and Maintaining Your Naturally Healthy Weight. I hunkered down on my couch, having put the book and review completion aside until I had the time to devote to a thorough reading of the enticingly titled chapter. Only upon reading did I discover it was just another rehashing of BMI and BMRs to determine desired weight. Secondarily, in her admonishing her readers and dietary clients to drink water, she only cited that doing so “helps you to feel full.†When, in actuality, as a DIET tool, our bodies require additional water to break down and metabolize stored fat. I just felt the BMI discussion was a bit well-worn as a topic well-discussed for over 20 years and didn’t warrant a chapter on it.
Instead, a much longer and deeper discussion and overview of more fish choices would have been my preference. She does talk about a variety of fish, I just would have liked it to have been even more extensive and less about BMIs. I appreciated her citing a free downloadable PDF on sustainability guide for selecting fish and shellfish. But what about a discussion and education on how wild caught salmon, salmon being well featured through her cookbook, is so much better for women to avoid toxicities and guard against breast cancer?
I loved her second chapter on the Pescatarian Kitchen and stocking it for flavor and food pairings for it. Take the time to go through preparing your kitchen for this and contemplating where and how to stock a variety of fish and seafood into your home. This may mean shopping more frequently so your fish is super fresh. Wild caught salmon is ok to freeze. But not all seafood freezes and reheats well. It can get rubbery.
In order to keep the printing costs down and the price of the book affordable, this is another cookbook from the publisher without a lot of photos. It’s just because we are so used to images galore with FB, Twitter, and IG that we expect it. However, there have been plenty of phenomenal cookbooks like the Joy of Cooking and Fannie Farmer which don’t have photos and we’ve all done fine without them for years.
Something we can all be appreciative of from a non-test kitchen sort of a publishing house is that with each of the recipes they cite the nutritional information, so we can all be aware of those details like fat and sodium and manage those as needed with individual health issues.
I have to say the recipes I am most interested in attempting soon are all of the salmon dishes. I really appreciated how there are several salmon recipes throughout and the variety of them. I’m particularly interested in attempting the Salmon cakes with Old Bay seasoning. I’ve never heard of Old Bay seasoning, but there are recipes for it readily findable online. Just be careful of the sodium count because one of the key ingredients is celery salt.
I was surprised to find a chapter on Desserts and almost skipped reading it until I read “Chocolate Hummus†and discovered that they all had a NUTRIONAL component to them like avocado or chickpeas! I am seriously interested in attempting Chocolate Hummus! We LOVE chickpeas, and prefer them pureed with something DONE to them for flavor.
Introduction viii
Chapter 1 The Truly Healthy Pescatarian Diet
Chapter 2 Your Pescatarian Kitchen
Chapter 3 Finding and Maintaining Your Naturally Healthy Weight
I found it a fetching title where I had
Chapter 4 Breakfasts (who knew?)
OK, I could put on weight happily eating the Smoked Trout (or salmon!) and Capers Cream Cheese. But the Loaded Avocado Sweet Potato “Toast†is quite intriguing. Avocados can be unpredictable for precisely WHEN they will be ripe, but this recipe appeals to me, plus I think I can play with it to make some substitutions. The Baked Egg and Smoked Salmon Stuffed Avocado also looks great. She includes a little spice recipe for Everything-Bagel Seasoning. I LOVE Everything-Bagel, but the true bagel is purely white flour, empty carbs. Still nummy, but only sometimes. So I like how she weaves in the salty, savory, toasted seedy flavor combination I love into a low carb breakfast option. I can see I’ll be playing with this recipe, as well.
Chapter 5 Soups and Salads
I like the idea of a Salmon based Cobb salad and will play with this to make it my own. The Roasted Tomato soup to my mind, and I’ve seen videos of ladies making this, too, is just a whole lottah work for… Tomato Soup. The Southwestern Butternut Squash Soup appeals to me because I do like Squash (think pumpkin’s cousins) dishes. I’d omit the chips and lean more on the quinoa for a more nutritious carb.
Chapter 6 Vegetarian Mains
A number of Asian inspired dishes like Tempeh Stir-Fry, Coconut Curry, and Veggie Pad Thai with Tofu and Zucchini. I don’t LOVE coconut curry so much, but Chickpeas and Sweet Potatoes in a curry dish, I could adjust this and make it fit our table. The Zucchini Lasagna is already extremely close to my Eggplant Parmesan, so I don’t know that I would really bother with what is a very slight variation. Still, the premise of the Veg-Not-Carb-Noodles mindset thinking is solid, to think to substitute eggplant thin slabs for NOODLES could inspire me more later.
Her Zucchini Linguine and White Clam Sauce is very similar to my Linguine and Clam Sauce dish. So, a little substitution that still results deliciously, omit the alcohol, and it’s still great. The parsley? Flat Leaf Italian to be specific. The curly leaf French stuff tastes bitter. And the clams? We use canned (tinned for you Brits) clams, but they MUST be In Their Own Juices without any of the chemicals which ruins the flavor. Toss the juices into the saucepan. I’ve been wondering about Zoodling this recipe of mine, but hadn’t yet. Reading Nicole’s recipe gave me the necessary nudge to attempt this actually likely quite soon because I have some fresh parsley in the house, and it only lasts a few days.
Chapter 8 Snacks and Sides
She has me as Spiced Crispy Cauliflower. I LOVE cauliflower Roasted Carrots, hmm, will need to sub something for the granola because it’s just not my thing. Butternut Mac and Cheese! All the comfort without the sleep-inducing carbs!
Chapter 9 Desserts
Trust me, check these out! She sneaks FOOD ergo nutrients into her desserts! I’m highly intrigued!
Again, all the recipes come with Nutritional Information, so you can manage your own family’s needs and requirements, which is great and reassuring. No surprises about sodium or other item which can be a huge health issue for some.
I include the video just to give you a sample of its layout and how much great stuff is included in the Pescatarian Kitchen chapter.
HIGHLY recommend this cookbook! Yummy and super healthy for you and your family! - The hailing of the Mediterranean diet as one of the healthiest with its focus on vegetables, fruit, and lean protein means that the switch to a pescatarian diet automatically incorporates many of the elements of the Mediterranean diet. In The Truly Healthy Pescatarian Cookbook, nutritionist Nicole Hallissey discusses the basics of the pescatarian diet, what kitchen tools you need as well as how to find your optimum weight and how to lose to get there.
Many of the recipes are different than you find in typical vegan or vegetarian cookbooks. For instance, the only smoothie recipe is one you eat with a spoon (thank you) for exactly the reason I’ve brought up in the past. It’s hard to get full with a smoothie breakfast.
The incorporated ingredients are not only readily available in your local market, but they won’t break the bank either with the obvious benefit that these recipes are family-friendly.
Several of these recipes, Fattoush Nachos with Hummus Drizzle, Spicy Tempeh Stir-Fry, and Tex-Mex Tempeh Veggie Skillet, I intend to try and hopefully add to my rotation of meals. Several of the breakfast recipes, the egg muffins, for instance, are definitely worth trying. While the Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry sounds intriguing, I already have one that I cook that incorporates greens and is more savory and spicier than the one included here.
Perhaps that is my issue with many of the recipes in The Truly Healthy Pescatarian Cookbook. The incorporation of sweet vegetables and fruits tend to make the savory dishes sweeter. If you have a sweet tooth, you’ll probably be drawn to these recipes, but I prefer sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and other sweet vegetables as a side rather than in the main. Even introducing corn and carrots can make a dish sweeten up.
Before I became vegetarian, I hated mushrooms, but now they are a go-to for their meaty flavor, and yet, not a single vegetarian recipe here includes them. However, if you love zucchini, sweet potatoes, avocado, salmon, and arugula, you’re in luck. Also, if you’re a fan of greens, you’re out-of-luck.
This is a minor gripe, that was hopefully dealt with in the final edition, but among the ingredients for the Chickpea and Sweet Potato Curry is coconut cream without a footnote as to whether she really means coconut cream or milk and hopefully not creme de coconut, which is an ingredient in pina coladas.
The seafood and fish recipes are different enough that if you’re considering becoming pescatarian you might enjoy this cookbook. However, as mentioned above, many of the fish recipes also include sweet elements the paella has sweet plantains, honey mustard dipping sauce for the fish sticks, pineapple in the fried rice, just to mention a few.
If you’re considering making the switch to a meatless diet, incorporating more fish into your diet and don’t mind sweetened dishes, you might like The Truly Healthy Pescatarian Cookbook. This would definitely make a good introduction to the pescatarian lifestyle. If you’re already pescatarian or vegetarian, you probably want a more involved cookbook with more diversity in the recipes.
I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. - Love this book so far! I rarely cook fish because it’s intimidating but the recipes in this book are super simple and many of them are cooked all in one pot. I really like how the book isn’t all fish based, a good amount of the recipes are vegetarian. Here are some of my favorite one-pot dishes from the book that are worth trying Stovetop Green Chili with Quinoa (made with salsa verde- soo good), lentil quinoa tacos (you won’t miss the meat!), Thai mussels (by far my favorite) and bouillabaisse (probably the most intimidating recipe, but the easiest). Hope you find this helpful and that you can give these recipes a try for yourself!
- I work with Nicole on a professional basis and I can tell you that her cookbook is a true reflection of her passion for healthy food, living, and lifestyle! The cookbook is chock full of very eye-opening and knowledgeable information alongside recipes that are healthy, easy, and extremely yummy! I love that Nicole shared her personal experience with each dish; It is very relatable and just real. Excellent and highly recommended cookbook! -)
