All of the recipes are gluten-free or only need minor changes to make them gluten-free. Also, most instructions are vegetarian or can be made vegetarian with a few changes. Finally, the author has separated the offerings into separate categories. For example, in the Dinnertime section, there are three categories: Comfort Foods Siced Up, and Simply Seasoned.
The author's first task is to understand the different cooking methods, including blanching, grilling, roasting, saute/sear/stirfry, steaming, and braising.
Next, the FAQ chapter answers many questions about veggies.
*Should I buy fresh, frozen, or canned vegetables to cook?
* What's the best way to cook veggies to retain their nutrients?
* Which vegetables should be paired with other foods?
What I liked:
* The author explained unusual ingredients, such as chickpea flour or chipotle peppers in adobo sauce or queso fresco.
* Who knew? Aquafaba is the juice of canned garbanzo beans, used as a substitute for egg whites.
* Suggestions for getting children to eat veggies.
* Offers the number of servings and how long it will take to prepare (prep, cooking, total time).
Favorite recipes:
* Meatless Chili
* California Broccoli Salad
* Bacon and Onion Green Peas
Negatives:
* These recipes used lots of heavy creams.
* There were no photos of completed dishes.
* There was no nutritional information offered.
Finally, several veggie cookbooks are listed, with the author's reasoning behind including them.
