Dr. Fuhrman's Secrets to Healthy Cooking DVD

I don't understand what lit a fire under that negative reviewer and why someone would actually mark it as helpful. This dvd is great! It may not be hollywood production quality but who cares??? Anyone looking to buy this is not seeking entertainment but hands-on demonstrations of preparing some of these recipes. Probably the customers are people like me, more visually-oriented who can't imagine what a fig dressing looks like simply by reading the ingredients. Just seeing this stuff being prepared has helped me relax a bit and feel more confident preparing the recipes myself. If that sour sally reviewer doesn't understand this sentiment then oh well go and return it. I'm keeping mine. FYI if you search youtube you can find many segments of the video plus others but I like the convenience of a dvd in this case. And btw, it's almost a complete 45 minutes of cooking, there are no lectures or rehashes of the book, it jumps right into the kitchen in the first minutes and keeps rolling. Nice work doc.

This DVD is a PAINFUL approach to very healthful cooking. The Docs wife SLAUGHTERS each and every demonstration of the VitaMix. OMG - GET A professional - Every other month Costco has a team of about ten people who can practically do back flips and cartwheels with a VitaMix - and you use YOUR WIFE?!? WHO CAN'T EVEN GET THE FRIGGIN TOP OFF THE BLENDER?!? If I were an executive at VitaMix, I'd sue to shut down this video.Next comment - use a professional CHEF.This video is a real hack job. I am sure the doctor and his wife are lovely people and his message is of the utmost importance - - - but to charge $25 for a DVD - I want to learn Kitchen BRAIN SURGERY - not experience two hacks. For $25 I want Jacque Peppin or America's Test Kitchen folks - hell, I'll even embrace a couple of students from the CIA (Culinary Inst.).I want my money back! lol This video is PAINFUL to watch.Please don't let this video turn you off to VitaMix - they are SO MUCH BETTTTTER than what is demonstrated here. Go to Costco and see the demo - you have to see this machine to believe it.There has GOT to be a better hardcore healthy cooking video out there - I will keep searching and let you know when I find it ;-)

Excellent, Excellent demonstration on how to make good, healthy, tasty soup. It has been long known that soup warms you up and fills you so you do not feel like eating so much and with the ingredients in Dr. Fuhrman's soup, you can't help but feel healthier. I love "from scratch" dishes. I like to know what I'm eating too. Prepared soups have so many ingredients.I also wanted to make healthy deserts without adding sugar. This DVD shows you how.I'm incorporating all Dr. Fuhrman's cooking ideas into my meal plans. I truly believe that "you are what you eat" and I want to stay as healthy as I can for as long as I can. I do also believe that all the cures for almost every disease are already on the earth in our fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds.This DVD is well worth the price if you want to get back to basics.

First let me say that Dr. & Mrs. Fuhrman are not professional entertainers, so this dvd won't appear like a show from the Food Network. But they demonstrate how they make some of their favorite healthy meals and they give tips on preparing larger quantities so you have food ready in the fridge when you get hungry (to keep from being tempted to munch on unhealthy snack foods because better choices are not at hand). My wife and I enjoyed the dvd and have already prepared the stir-fry (big hit), the hearty vegetable soup and the kale. While the recipes require a relatively large number of ingredients, the results are pretty impressive. It's a wonderful help for enjoying the journey to better health!

I need this dietary instruction YOU need this dietary instruction!! Why?? 1) you will see a difference in your energy level when you follow Joel's instructions 2) you will be very pleased with your blood work 3) your blood pressure will thank you 4) your A1C will kiss you 5) your prescription meds cost should go down as a result of eating God's veggies 6) don't you want to be around for your grandchildren-and keep up 7) be able to take trips without achy bones 8) we love Lisa and Joel but keep your day job :-)

I had made some of the recipes in his book and was unsure if I was doing them right. I got this DVD and it made a world of difference in the quality of the food I was making. It also helped me with the changes I needed to make to get healthier. By following Dr. Fuhrman's advice and healthy eating style, I was able to have my first child at 50 years old. I was married more than once and my ex-wives went on to have children with other men. My nutrition was so bad that, in hindsight, it must have effected my fertility. Eating for nutritional value has more benefits than you realize.

Just remember Dr. Fuhrman is a DOCTOR and not an actor...lol...some good information but a little hard to watch as he and his wife appear a bit stiff and unnatural while cooking. All of Dr. Fuhrman's books, videos, etc. that I have seen are good except as I said, in this one. I got this with a set, probably wouldn't have bought it stand-alone.

Not the greatest production, but if you know anything of Dr. Furhman and his Eat to Live books then these recipes hit right at home with what is included with his plan.The anti-cancer soup is amazing, I made so much I started giving it away to my family and I have not found anyone who hasn't like itI hope for more content from Dr. Furhman in the future

Too brief, some things he talked about but dudn't make. Wanted more!
