They smelled divine while cooking, the delicious aroma permeated my home.
Chapter 7:Â This chapter has several recipes for making burgers out of nuts and/or beans. They also have a fabulous falafel patty recipe. My favorite was the Mediterranean Bean Burger and the Too-Good-to-be-Tofu burgers.
Chapter 8:Â My family is big pasta lovers and I serve it at least once a week. The Mac-oh-geez was the biggest hit from this book. It was easy to make and tasted just like mac and cheese, only better in our opinion.
Chapter 9:Â What kid or adult doesn’t like a wholesome cookie to snack on? The kids insisted on trying all the cookie recipes and could not decide which they loved best. I really like the Troll Cookies and the Snifferdoodles, and the Krispie Chip Cookies, and the….. okay I love them all too!
Chapter 10:Â These recipes are beyond scrumptious, they are decadent desserts to die for. There are several great pie crust recipes that are fabulous like the Rustic Piecrust and the Gluten-free pie crust. We loved the puddings and cakes too. Our favorites were the Pumpkin Pie Custard, Raw Strawberry Pie, and the Blueberry Coffee Cake with Cinnamon Walnut Crumble.
Chapter 11:Â If you’re a big ice cream fan then you skip right to this chapter. The Eggnog ice cream is just so delicious. We also made the Strawberries ‘n’ Cream Ice Cream.
All the recipes are filled with healthy alternatives to the standard diet. You can still have your greens and eat your cake too!! The recipes are easily adjusted if you want to change an ingredient. Usually, you find a few recipes in a cookbook that you are fond of, but this book had way too many favorites for me to list. It’s a great vegan cookbook and I know you will just love the variety offered. Even meat-eaters will enjoy these recipes.
