Brilliantly laid out…fabulous recipes for omnivores or herbivores!
OMG-This book is brilliantly laid out. I am plant based and one of the things I hear from my omnivore friends is "I could never go Vegan!". The author, Kristy Turner, has resisted the trappings of recipes calling for manufactured ingredients like vegan cheese (such as Daiya) and fake meats, available in the "health" food stores and has taken a new, tasty, and healthful approach with her recipes…super refreshing in the world of plant based/vegan cookbooks. An example is the chapter on "Fake Foods Freak Me Out". My husband and I are in agreement with this. Why call it something it isn't and then try to make it taste like what it will never really taste like. As she states in her chapter heading "These recipes aren't trying to imitate a dish normally made with animal products. They are delicious meals that allow the plants to truly shine in their own right." The book has quality, engaging photos, the recipes are very thoughtfully created… and everything tastes really good. Her recipes can be served to anyone, omnivore or vegan. Thank you Krtisty Turner.
