Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Love & Lemons cookbook is well-designed and easy to use, with easy to prepare recipes for vegans, vegetarians, gluten-free, and anyone generally interested in eating delicious produce. It is organized by fruits & vegetables, with tips on general ways to prepare the produce at the beginning of each section. Since Amazon didn't include a visible index to this cookbook, here are the included recipes (in order): Apple, Brie & Thyme Crostini Cardamom Apple Crisp Apple Fennel Salad Chipotle Apple Guacamole Apple Radish Slaw Lemon Roasted Artichokes Artichoke Crostini with Mint Pesto Flatbread with White Bean Puree & Asparagus Ribbons Millet Pilaf with Herbs & Grilled Asparagus Asparagus Edamame Salad with Tarragon Avocado Breakfast Tacos Avocado Strawberry Caprese Avocado & Fava Bean Salad Dark Chocolate Avocado Mousse Strawberry Salad with Toasted Hazelnuts Blackberry Basil Bruschetta PB&J with Hazelnut Butter & Strawberry Chia Jam Blueberry Mango & Mint Ice Cream Raspberry Lemon Dutch Baby Lemon Broccoli & Caper Couscous Creamy Broccoli Soup Sweet Chili Charred Broccolini Broccoli Rabe & Sunchoke Orecchiette Coconut Rice with Brussels Sprouts Creamy Miso Brussels Sprout Fettucine Brussels Sprout Breakfast Tostadas Shredded Brussels Sprout & Cranberry Salad Brussels Sprout Wraps with Almond Sauce Quinoa Salad Radicchio Cups Asian Chopped Cabbage Salad Endive with Sweet Pea Avocado Hummus Balsamic Grilled Radicchio Salad Chickpea Salad Sandwich with Crunchy Red Cabbage Vegan Carrot Waffles Carrot Gazpacho with Lemongrass Carrot Ribbon Tacos Carrot-Ginger Grain Bowl Carrot & Tomato Tagliatelle Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Cream Roasted Cauliflower & Red Pepper Soup Curried Cauliflower Fried Rice Roasted Cauliflower & Pear Pizza Grapefruit, Quinoa, & Fennel Salad with Mint Minty French 75 (the only cocktail) Veggie Ceviche Beet & Carrot Salad with Sweet Citrus Vinaigrette Corn, Tomato, & Mozzarella Salad Grilled Mexican Corn Salad Elotes & Roasted Chickpea Tacos Spicy Cornbread Green Gazpacho Cucumber Basil & Watermelon Salad Cold Sesame Cucumber Noodles Crispy Baked Eggplant Grilled Eggplant & Summer Veggie Pasta Eggplant & Mushroom "Meatballs" Swiss Chard & White Bean Tacos Peanut Noodle Kale Bowls Kale & Fennel Vegetable Soup Mango Avocado Collard Wraps Miso-braised Mustard Greens Watercress, Feta & Farro Salad How to Make a Kale Salad (& matrix of ideas) Cashew & Caper Dill Spread Spring Leek Soup with Purple Sage Avocado Pesto Mozzarella Tartines Portobello Sliders with Pepita Pesto Crispy Shiitake BLT Soba with Mushrooms & Crumbled Hazelnuts Shiitake & Spinach Miso Soup Grilled Leeks with Mint Peso Spring Onion Pizzas Quinoa Tacos with Quick Pickled Onions Spring Leek & Lemon Pasta Quick Pickled Onions Spring Pea & Mint Crostini Feta & Pea Tendril Omelette Pea & Sweet Potato Samosas Poblano Quesadillas Roasted Red Pepper & Carrot Soup Red Pepper Feta Frittata Blistered Padron Peppers Grilled Pepper & Quinoa Taco Salad Sweet Potato Tacos with Apple Radish Slaw Baked Eggs with Kale, Sage, & Sweet Potatoes Lemon Rosemary Roasted Potatoes Loaded Sweet Potato Nachos Curried Parsnip & White Bean Soup Kale Salad with Roasted Root Veggies Parsnip Fries with Red Pepper Hummus Kohlrabi Spring Rolls Spring Polenta with Radishes & Garlic Scapes Vegan Tart Cherry French Toast Mango & Daikon Glass Noodle Salad Farm Stand Peach Pizzas Grilled Peach Salad with Toasted Pistachios Tomato Chickpea Tortilla Soup Green Tomato Basil Grilled Cheese Heirloom Tomato Panzanella with Fresh Oregano Simple Fresh Tomato Sauce Wheat Berry Delicata Squash Salad Butternut Squash Red Curry Butternut Squash & Black Bean Enchiladas Creamy Pumpkin Brown Rice Penne Butternut Squash Risotto & Arancini Zucchini Lasagna with Zucchini "Ricotta" Double Chocolate Zucchini Muffins Summer Squash & Cherry Tomato Pasta Summer Squash Succotash The styling of the book is very similar to the authors' blog, with dreamy photos, lots of white space, and clear directions in a simple font. Every recipe is accompanied by a corresponding photo on the facing page, and most recipes are only one page long, which is something that I love in my cookbooks. The front section gives a brief overview of how their blog came to exist, their style of cooking, what to make when faced with an abundance of produce, as well as what to stock in your pantry. At the end, there's a section that looks a bit like some of the mix & match boxes I loved in Mark Bittman's Kitchen Matrix, with a basic formula and then 4 variations to make it your own for pesto, hummus, salsa, guacamole, and smoothies. That is followed by a short section on basic recipes for cooking grains, pizza dough, sauces, spreads, and dressings. Virtually all of the recipes in this cookbook would be easy to cook on a weeknight within 20-30 minutes, maximally an hour. The ingredients are mostly cheap & easy to find at any of my local supermarkets (in suburban NJ). Many of the recipes are quite simple, but they're combinations that work, the directions are well-written, and the end result is tasty. Jeanine has written recipes that are accessible to anyone, regardless of their skill level. The butternut squash red curry is a perfect rendition of one of my favorite take-out orders, and using this cookbook I can make it for myself in less time than it takes for delivery, and I think it tastes better. There are some new ideas (to me) in here as well, like the zucchini "ricotta", which I am quite excited to find since I've always struggled with making a delicious dairy-free lasagna.
