I don't usually have allergies but last week, something knocked me down hard. I know it was allergy based because of my symptoms but I think it also went to my sinuses. I was miserable for several days. I'm feeling better but still can't taste or smell 100%. I was very excited to look through the newest cookbook in my collection while I was sick though. It's called Pure Food by Veronica Bosgraaf. Her cookbook is all about eating clean with seasonal, plant-based recipes. She has actually laid her book out in chapters of the months of the year. So it gives you a good idea of what to fix during those months with the seasonal produce that will be available at that time.
This book has many yummy sounding recipes with several pictures of the recipes situated right in the middle of the book. I do wish the pictures accompanied each recipe and that there were more pictures, but I am a picture lover when it comes to cookbooks. I feel with a cookbook, you never can have too many pictures because we eat with our eyes first. Some of the recipes that I am anxious to try are Lentils and Rice with Caramelized Onions, Cacao Chip Banana Bread, Raw Chocolate Chip Cookies, Garlic and Thyme mashed potatoes, Almond Butter and Cacao Nib smoothie, Green Chile Enchiladas with Avocado Sauce, and more! There's even a recipe to make your own almond milk!
If you're looking to increase your veggie intake and add more plant based recipes to your meals, you really should check out this book. It has so many different recipes and while meat is absent from this cookbook, you could definitely add it in many of the recipes or leave the recipe as is for a meatless meal. I'm really looking forward to making some things out of this book!
