I think I have all the recipes form The Starch Solution that are MWLP-acceptable. If I forgot any, please add them. REM's list has all the other books except that one and Doctor McDougall's Health Enhancing Recipe Book from 1992. Maybe I'll work on that one in the future, but most recipes from there appear in other books or newsletters already.

I do mention how to make some that weren't 100% into MWLP-acceptable, such as omitting raisins or olives or using a corn tortilla instead of wheat ones. It wasn't until looking through the MWLP book again that I realized maple syrup and rice milk/non-fat soy milk are indeed allowed on MWLP. In fact, at least one recipe even uses orange juice, something that was always in the back of my mind as definitely NOT MWLP-acceptable. It pays to reread the old books now and then. :)

The first post in this thread lists all the MWLP recipes in the other books - someone else already did the figuring out. :)

http://www.drmcdougall.com/pdf/maximum_weight_loss_compatible_recipes_mcdougall_books.pdf

It lists all the recipes from the original McDougall Plan and accompanying Health Supporting Cookbooks all the way through the Quick and Easy Cookbook and every book in-between.

And there's always the newsletter archives and Recipe Cards on this site, too.
https://www.drmcdougall.com/health/education/recipes/printable-recipe-cards/
The cards are all Mary McDougall recipes and the majority are already MWLP. Just avoid the ones with flour, pasta, and tofu.

Also, in this post:

https://www.drmcdougall.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10076

former member Letha make a clickable list of all MWLP in the newsletter up to that date in 2009.

Have fun! I've personally found that Mary McDougall's recipes are the ones my family prefer the most, and I own over 50 vegan cookbooks! Wasted money.

Here is one using the Instant Pot; it appears like it could easily be adapted to cooking on the stovetop.
