5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious Recipes – and Not Only for Fertility!, September 17, 2011 By Liz Roseman
I am in love with Cooking for Fertility from both a professional and a personal standpoint.
I’ll talk professional first – as an acupuncturist specializing in fertility, this book is indispensable. I make sure that all of my fertility patients have this book. Kathryn really excels at giving a variety of easy-to-make, insanely delicious recipes. With each recipe there is a paragraph explaining the energetics of the dish from a Chinese Medicine standpoint, so patients are able to learn about what nourishes their specific imbalances. I have also recommended the cookbook to non-fertility patients who are interested in eating better.
Eating healthily should not make you feel like you are lacking in flavors or treats. Kathryn provides so many delicious indulgences – that are actually good for you!
As for personal, I love using these recipes in my kitchen. The Pumpkin Pesto is ridiculous – no one I make it for ever guesses it’s vegan – and has kale in it! The Fertile Soul cookies are a yummy treat. I could go on and on about my favorite recipes, but I’ll let you find some for yourself.

As a treating acupuncturist in NYC, I make sure all my fertility patients have a copy of Kathryn’s book “Cooking for Fertility”.
All of my patients express how wonderful the book is and how delicious the food comes out. I have seen great results from a practitioners standpoint in those who choose to purchase Kathryn’s book and I strongly encourage any woman who is TTC to check it out! Thanks Kathryn for creating such an asset to my practice!

Kathryn Flynn demonstrates a strong knowledge of nutrition and healthy eating in this easy to read and valuable cookbook. I recommend this book to my clients in my private practice as a psychologist when working with women who would like to conceive and even those who just want to improve their overall health and wellness. This book offers accessible everyday recipes and provides a clear and user friendly educational summary in each section. The recommendation tables and glossary in the back in particularly useful.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pregnant!, September 13, 2011 By S.T.
I am now 8 weeks pregnant, and I know that Kathryn’s advice and cookbook helped me to get here. I followed her eating recommendations and used her recipes for 6 months before trying to conceive, and then it only took 3 months to get pregnant (and I’m over 40). I recommend this book to any woman who wants to get her body ready for pregnancy.
5.0 out of 5 stars The Infertility Cure Diet, September 13, 2011 By Randine Lewis (Asheville, NC)
Kathryn Flynn has combined Chinese dietary therapy, knowledge of fertility enhancement, and a flow in culinary preparation that can turn your kitchen into a center of healing. Because her work came directly out of The Fertile Soul method, it embodies the spirit of healing in a simple and easy to incorporate lifetime eating plan. No matter what your pattern of imbalance, Cooking for Fertility has delicious recipes that can help you become more fertile.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cooking for Fertility is a Nourishing Choice!, September 12, 2011
By Michelle Galatoire, Nourish & Bloom (Houston)
I recommend Cooking for Fertility to all my clients who are trying to concieve – and to all the women I coach for wellness, as it offers the most nutritious and delicious options for cooking for optimal health. The typical American diet has far too much sugar, wheat and dairy, and as Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches us, this type of eating can create havoc on our hormones, insulin sensitivity and even our peace of mind. Cooking for Fertility takes the mystery out of Spleen Qi Diet and allows the reader to confidently create meals that are nourishing and enjoyable for the whole family. Highly recommend!

I have been struggling with unexplained fertility for over 3 years. With western techniques being very costly, emotionally draining, and unsuccessful, we decided to try the eastern medicine techniques in the book the Infertility Cure. The most difficult part was trying to figure out what I could eat and recipes to support the diet for fertility. This book not only gave great recipes, but gave a nutritional recap of what was in the book, so you don’t have to cross reference the two. If you are considering trying the techniques in the Infertility Cure, this book is a must.
5.0 out of 5 stars Delicious and Restorative, May 29, 2011 By lisazen
Who knew eating for fertility could be fun?! I really am enjoying this cookbook, I browse through the pages and look for new recipes for the week. I made the white bean and spinach soup, and who knew my husband would love it too! I got the book on recommendation from my acupuncturist and I am very pleased with it.
It’s hard to tell if it’s placebo or really the food, but I certainly do feel better and more clear headed when I eat the food from this book. When you are trying to become pregnant it feels good to nurture yourself through nutritious food. It helps to have a Vita Mix for the smoothie recipes, I like the Green smoothie with green apple and avocado, it sounds weird to put avocado in, but it makes it really smooth and I think my skin benefits from it too!
Bon Appetit and fertility blessings to all trying to conceive.
