Eat Like You Give a Fork
I'm middle of the road on this one. Why? Because I am a picky eater, I admit it. I don't want to give this book a 5 because there is nothing in this cookbook I will eat, nothing, yet this book is a nice one, if you eat this stuff.
My aunt likes to get vegan and she would love this book and a few of my kids like to eat these foods so they would love to try a lot a few of these recipes, so this book would be great for them but me, not so much. So why did I get it? I picked it up at the library as it looked appealing. Look at the cover, those dishes look fantastic. I thought I would just look through it and see what recipes and ideas were inside.
So what did I see inside that I might tempt myself with? Chicken Sausage, Spelt, and Pepper Skillet - this picture looks fantastic with the dark colors of the mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and the colorful peppers. Yum- yet, I would have to try Spelt. Then, we have Smoky Veggie, Jackfruit, and White Bean Chili. This looks chunky, hearty and tempting. But, what is jackfruit? I think I would do this one with all the veggies in this chili. I keep coming back to the Overstuffed Sweet Potatoes with Chipotle-Lime Yogurt- these potatoes look beautiful. Black beans, yogurt, ghee, sweet potatoes, chipotle chile powder, etc.
This book is not all about recipes either, she has lots of information about eating healthy. Lots of articles to read before you dive into the strategies and then, articles in each of the 8 strategies that include her recipes. There are not pictures for each recipes but there are a lot of colorful pictures in this cookbook. There are serving sizes with each recipe but not nutritional value information. There is an index at the back This is a nice cookbook that will lay flat on a table, if need be. Check it out if this type of food grabs you as it really has some interesting recipes and articles.
