This is a really great resource and cookbook for people trying and/or committing to a plant-based diet. There are several useful sections including ones on: * the rationale for a plant-based diet* food items to stock in your pantry* kitchen know-how (i.e., cooking & baking techniques)* knife skills 101* menus combining recipes in the bookKris Carr also seems to understand that living a plant-based diet is not always cheap and offers strategies to work around this. The recipes also have two different levels--beginner and expert levels of sorts. It's also a beautiful book with a gorgeous layout and photos.I considered buying this (after checking it out from the library this time) but am holding off for now (still a maybe in the future.) That's only because I have fruit and cashew allergies and too many of these recipes call for one or both. If these are non-issues for you, I recommend looking into this as a useful guide to buy. This book makes so much sense. It's all about a way of life based around plants that can prevent and ease many cronic diseases. I would have given this 5 stars except some of the ingredients are hard to source. Maybe because I live in the UK. There are also quite a few recipes with bread which I don't eat as I am intolerant to gluten and don't much like the gluten free alternatives. There are recipes including gluten free wraps which I can't get here. Otherwise it is new and exciting and well worth a read. I hope it can help my digestive problems and lack of energy.
Beautiful pictures. Yummy recipes. Easy to follow. Easy read.
