I was sent a copy of the book for review though Net Galley, as always, all opinions are my own.

I’ve been trying to cut back on the amount of meat my family consumes so I’ve been drawing inspiration from vegetarian and vegan cookbooks to achieve my goals. This book initially caught my eye

because I love incorporating ethnic meals into our weekly rotation. While I loved the layout of this book I wasn’t nearly as thrilled with the recipes, the ingredient lists of many of the recipes were incredibly long and oftentimes the recipes were were much too labor intensive for a quick weeknight meal. This won’t be a book that I will turn to often, but I did find the spice blend recipes incredibly useful for adding a different sort of flare to some of the meals I already prepare.
