In 1984, when the research of her husband, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, pointed to the link between meat and dairy consumption and cancer and heart disease, Ann Esselstyn started creating whole-food vegan meals for her family without help from the internet or cookbooks. Now their thriving vegan family says that health and vitality are the greatest gifts they’ve received. Ann (86) and her daughter Jane (56) are still at it, helping others discover the disease-fighting and immune-boosting power of plants with their cookbooks and YouTube channel (when they aren’t running, weightlifting, or doing yoga). Enjoy these recipes adapted from Be a Plant-Based Woman Warrior , and discover how vibrant vegan food can help you feel your best at any age.
