I haven’t eaten beef, chicken, turkey, veal or any other “meat” for many, many years. (I do eat salmon and halibut so I don’t call myself vegetarian but I work to eat healthy and focus on plants). I have looked at tons of recipes and tried many over the years, and am always happy to see a new cookbook that might give me some ideas.

Perhaps I really am a boring eater, and I am definitely a visual learner, esp when it comes to cooking. But I really did miss photos. Maybe they are coming in the “real” book? In any case, there are many good ideas in this book and lots of good info about diabetes (esp preventing it and living with pre-diabetes). But I am not the audience for this one, I don’t think. I tend to eat the same foods over and over, I’m not a vegan (nor do I aspire to be one) and I just am not excited about new recipes for things like figs with guacamole…but I recommend this book because I know it will be enjoyed by tons of people. Thanks to HCI and NetGalley for providing a copy in exchange for this honest review. Three stars.
