Review: "I love to cook without a book - "I love to cook without a book." Needlepoint my mom made when I was little now hanging in my kitchen. It's true. I rarely follow a recipe. However; I have a nice collection of cookbooks for inspiration and a few of those I use regularly. I just found one that I can tell will have worn and food smudged pages! Some things I love about it: - The photos! Beautiful images that not only illustrate the ingredients and what the finished product will look like, they make my stomach growl! -The ingredients are pretty much all things that I'm familiar with and that I can find easily in my neighborhood markets. -I've always been a bit intimidated by whole grains and thus, I rarely cook them. Bowls explains each grain and how to easily prepare it. -Sauces and dressings! Like I said, I mostly cook from my head, and there is a limit to the sauce and dressing ideas stored there. Bowls has a plethora of sauces and dressings that are new to me and a few (Thai Peanut Sauce and Caesar Dressing) that I'm so happy to finally know how to properly make. The Sweet and Tangy Vinaigrette is to die for and oh so simple to make. -It's flexible! In my world, you must be flexible. Each recipe could be made with extra or leaving out ingredients. You can easily switch proteins or even the dressings. It's a great book to either follow each recipe to a T, or to peruse for inspiration. There is even a "Build Your Own Bowl" page with choices of protein, grains, veggies and condiments to mix and match. So yes, I recommend "Bowls of Plenty" to cooks of all levels!
Review: Plenty of healthy, beautiful, family-friendly meal inspiration - This book is going to crush my dinnertime rut. With a picky eight year old and an even pickier four year old, I serve a lot of tacos and composed salads because they allow each family member to take what she likes without complaining about what she doesn't. Bowls of Plenty offers so many new and flexible ideas for putting protein, vegetables, and healthy carbs on the table in combinations that are, amazingly, healthy AND beautiful AND suitable for weeknights; I flagged dozens of recipes on my first flip-through. Components can, in many cases, be prepped ahead of time, enabling you to pull dinner together quickly in the evening (or to pack an amazing work lunch). I have already made Quinoa and Poached Salmon Salad with Confetti Vegetables (so good even my quinoa-rejecting eight year old ate it) and a top-notch kale Caesar, and I know I will be turning to this book for inspiration all the time. Carreno's headnotes and instructions are very informative and friendly without being saccharine--a rarity these days, I'd say. Anyway--two thumbs up, will buy again and again as a gift. P.S. There is also an amazing looking breakfast section that I am just beginning to wrap my head around. Spiced apple breakfast farro, quinoa huevos rancheros--I'll be seeing you soon.
