Chock-a-block full of great recipes!
I have had my Vitamix for a week and love it. You can't keep me out of the kitchen! The cookbook that came with my machine is great but I was looking for more gluten-free, egg-free and vegetarian/vegan recipes to fit my dietary restrictions. As I live in Australia, I purchased the Kindle edition first, honestly, because I didn't want to have to wait for the book in the mail (and to check whether the print edition was worth spending the extra money on).
I've only had the Kindle edition for a few days and have read it from cover to cover, bookmarking all the recipes I'm going to try in the coming weeks. I've already made a few of the recipes and I've found they're adaptable too for changing and substituting ingredients to meet dietary requirements. Occasionally the recipes make suggestions for substituting ingredients too, which is greatly appreciated.
Some standout recipes are: Falafel, Quinoa Black Bean Burgers, Mixed Berry Purée, Peach Soy Sherbet and Banana Freeze. There are lots of others I can't wait to try!
This cookbook is packed full of healthy, easy recipes and clear instructions. There's also an introduction to the Vitamix history and the author's family which is nice to read.
Overall, the author in conjunction with her company's dietitians, has done a very nice job of compiling lots of healthy, easy, quick and new recipes for Vitamix owners. I'll be purchasing the print edition too.
Thank you.
Highly recommended!
Note to editor: is the Muhammara (Red Pepper & Walnut Dip) recipe missing walnuts in the ingredient list!?
