Bowls Of Goodness

Beautiful photos, lots of variety!

I was expecting this book to be mostly hearty meals, but there's quite a bit of variety. There's sections for breakfasts, desserts, pasta/noodles, grains, salads.... A great resource for vegetarians. A lot of recipes contain eggs/dairy with a suggestion for vegans to substitute with tofu/vegenase/vegan cheese/vegan creme fraiche. If you aren't creative, or don't like to buy processed foods, this might frustrate you. Sometimes the ingredients aren't listed sensibly and they are really long - but don't let this discourage you. Everything is pretty easy to put together. I've only made the "pulled jackfruit" recipe so far - the texture was on point and I loved the addition of mushrooms. The BBQ sauce was okay - I wouldn't follow the exact recipe next time. But there will be a next time! I'm stoked to feel so confident with an ingredient I'd never used before after only one try!

My favourite cookbook

I rarely like cookbooks but this one has the winning combination of yummy recipes, vegetarian recipes and LOTS of gorgeous pictures. I've made about 4 of the recipes (royal korma recipe alone is worth buying the book) and done my own spins on a few of them. I really love the fact that you can make nearly every one of them vegan or GF with a few handy substitutions. A jewel on my bookshelf.
