Fabulous!
This book is what I have been looking for for years! Finally, a diet that suits me! I read the descriptions of each type at the beginning while waiting for my blood test kit to arrive and felt sure I must be an A as it could have been a description of me. The test came and, sure enough, I am an A! It's a big change, and I'm taking it slowly, but I am already feeling the benefit. I would recommend unreservedly.

Some interesting recipe ideas
This recipe book I would say is more geared towards the American kitchen, however it's useful for ideas. I don't think I will be using alot of the recipes though.

Book quality better than described.
Because blood type A is better with a vegetarian diet, with only minimal meat, I was a bit disappointed with the amount of meat based recipes.However, the condition of the book itself was extremely good.

Good recipes
Being A+ and used to eating meat. But can't do dairy. Have found it hard with bread! Living in ireland everything it processed flour. There's a bread recipe in here I definitely will be trying out

Supportive book
Really helpful and interestingly highlighted that I was already eating pretty much what I needed, having removed foods that were causing me a problem

Not thrilled - too many recipes with poultry and fish
There are some good recipes in the book, but considering that this is specific for the A blood type, the dinner category in particular relies too heavily, in my opinion, on fish, poultry and cheese. In many of the other recipes there is an abundance of ghee, agave syrup, and eggs.The author often mentions the distinction between "secretors" and "non-secretors", but if one does not live in the US it's impossible to get tested for this characteristic.Reference is also often made to the SWAMI app, available only through the doctor's website, and very expensive to boot.

Love the book
Book has really good recipes and amazon service was great.Heard about diet matching to your blood type a few weeks ago and was amazed, so brought a recipe book to start trying it out and see if it really helps my health.

Great Resource! Needs Editing...
This is a must have for anybody really trying to follow the A Blood Type diet. Planning meals from this book is so much more relaxed than trying to amend other recipes to fit the blood type diet. It has made grocery shopping and meal planning much easier for me. Plus, the recipes are delicious. The Veggie Lasagna is the best veggie lasagna I have ever had! And some of the meals seem so indulgent compared to how I was trying to follow the blood type diet on my own - especially the Herb-Crusted Turkey Breast, Stone-Fruit Salad, and Fish Tacos. Major props to Chef Kristin O'Conner for developing such healthy, delicious meals!HOWEVER, this book is poorly edited and not appropriate for people just beginning to cook. There is no ingredient index, no sense of how long recipes will take to make, not enough suggestions for pairing food, and too many omissions/typos. One soup recipe says to "add water bring to boil and simmer," but never says how much water. I guessed 4 c. and it worked out. Another says "bake until..." but it never says how long or at what temperature. Some recipe titles mention ingredients that are not in the recipe! This is poor editing, and should be improved for future editions. I would recommend that the publisher create a site for people to report such omissions/ typos.Other suggestions for the next edition.- A list in the introduction of where featured ingredient explanations are located and suggestions for buying and storing rare ingredients.- index!- weekly meal planners with shopping lists that minimize how many ingredients must be bought. Buying many ingredients that I only need small amounts for make following the A blood type diet much more expensive and harder to follow. Build the meal plans with cost and efficiency in mind. (ex: each week have 1 poultry, 1 fish, and 3 veggie dinners, with lunches that take into account leftovers from dinner)All in all I love this cook book! And I highly recommend it to my friends who like to eat and cook healthy meals. But shame on the publishers for not editing it appropriately. Poor editing really reduces the quality and usability of this book - especially for people who are trying to eat and cook healthy for the first time.
