Ann Crile Esselstyn has been called "the Julia Child of
plant-based-cooking." She was an award-winning English teacher for
twenty-seven years, all while juggling raising four children,
coaching, and figuring out how to cook delicious and appealing
plant-based, oil-free food (pre-internet!). Ann's singular focus is
on creating recipes to prevent and reverse heart disease, and she
collaborates with her husband, Dr. Caldwell B Esselstyn Jr., in
counseling patients. Ann and her daughter, Jane, also feature
heart-healthy recipes on their YouTube channel. Ann graduated from
Smith College and received a master's in education from Wheelock
College. She lives in Cleveland, Ohio, next door to Jane.
Jane Esselstyn, R.N., is a fresh, charismatic voice in the
plant-based movement. She brings her passion, energy, and can-do
attitude to her presentations, cooking demonstrations, and
cookbooks. As well as being a nurse, researcher, middle school sex
ed teacher, and mother of three, Jane hosts a popular YouTube
channel with her spitfire mother, Ann Crile Esselstyn. Jane created
the recipes for the #1 New York Times bestseller Plant-Strong and
The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet. She is the coauthor of The
Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet with her brother, Rip Esselstyn and
of The Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease Cookbook with Ann, who is
her next-door neighbor in Cleveland, Ohio.
