User reviews
This book contains some beautiful images and delicious recipes. However, it is also a book of wellness, including chapters on yoga, sleep, massage and reflexology.
I initially assumed that this was a straight forward cookery book; I wasn't really looking for
Her go-to is lean animal proteins, zero gluten, minimal dairy, and natural sweeteners such as maple syrup and dates. If this is your type of cooking then this book is perfect for you.
The author previously published The Anti-Inflammation Cookbook, so her recipes are sure to be good for the body.
I particularly liked the sound of Crustless Mini Quiches with Roasted Pepper, Basil and Goat Cheese (Pg 35)
Wild Rice Salad with Butternut Squash, Cherries and Mint (Pg 105)
Strawberry Basil Smoothies with Almond Milk and Honey (Pg 29)
There were some expensive ingredients such as matcha, and some items I have no idea where to find, such as
Asian pears, Meyer lemons, or stone fruit. There were also explanations about some of the food products I'd heard of but never tried.
For me, this was an interesting publication and I will refer to my on-line version for some delicious recipes, but I don't think it's one I will get enough use out of to warrant buying the paper edition.
