Fetch Best Green Eats Ever: Delicious Recipes For Nutrient-Rich Leafy Greens, High In Antioxidants And More Curated By Katrine Van Wyk Distributed As Publication

More reviews and no fluff on the blog sitelink wordpress. com/Best Green Eats Ever is a beautifully presented full color cookbook of overrecipes using green vegetables in creative ways.
Most recipes have lavish full color photographs and each is easy to follow and modify, It's clear this is a labor of love for the author and the promise of good tasting but healthy food does hold true.


The book breaks down as follows: Part One: Green Basics why eat greens, which greens do what, local, seasonal, and organic, setting up your kitchen for success, forget about a one size fits all diet Part Two: Green Recipes soups, salads, sides, snacks/sauces, mains, treats.


As would be expected, there are quite a few smoothie and salad recipes, But there are also quite a few creative recipes, including frozen green juice popsickles, salt and vinegar kale chips, spring comfort pasta, dandelion pesto, sauteed fiddleheads, super simple pea shoot salad with radishes, and creamy spinach soup with egg boats.


Naturally, spinach and kale show up in quite a few of the recipes, But lettuces and other green plant leaves are also used liberally, And although the name of the book is green, that doesn't mean you're going to have a sea of green only meals from the recipes.
Many are quite colorful and the greens are an accent, not the main flavor,

The recipes are beautifully laid out, nearly each one having its own photograph, I do rate one star less because the recipe directions are in short paragraph form

and not numbered, making them a bit difficult to follow when cooking.
And because I'd have preferred fewer posed shots of the author holding something and instead more shots of the actual dishes.
But those are really minor quibbles for an excellent book,

A nice feature of the book is that the recipes have modification information for specific diets eg.
. , vegetarian, paleo, GF. Storage and serving size info are also given,

This is a great book to explore recipes that are surprisingly simple to make but complex in their taste.
As well, most of the book is the recipe section and not a lot of extra talk, Author Van Wyk is brief in the beginning with information on where to get the greens, when to get them, and which ones are the best for health benefits so the focus stays on the recipes.


In all, nicely presented recipe book with interesting yet healthy meals, ed from an ARC provided by the publisher, A small section on the different benefits offered by separate categories of greens dark amp leafy, cruciferous, lettuces, etc.
helps readers choose recipes based not only on personal tastes but the types of benefits the recipe offers,

I also liked that the recipes contain a limited number of ingredients which are typically widely available and a manageable set of directions.
I loved everything about this book, The information, the recipes, the pictures, I need to buy this so I can make everything in it!! Informative, with a good assortment of recipes.
Leafy greens are the talk of the town, for they are the most nutritionally dense foods available, They are versatile ingredients that pack an enormously healthy punch, As Katrine Van Wyk demonstrated in Best Green Drinks Ever, leafy greens make terrific smoothies and juices, but she definitely does not recommend an allliquid diet.

Withoutrageously delicious recipes, there's something for everyone.
