Review ~ Inspiralized Cookbook

On her wildly popular blog, Inspiralized, Ali Maffucci is revolutionizing healthy eating. Whether you’re low-carb, gluten-free, Paleo, or raw, you don’t have to give up the foods you love. Inspiralized shows you how to transform more than 20 vegetables and fruits into delicious meals that look and taste just like your favorite indulgent originals. Zucchini turns into pesto spaghetti; jicama becomes shoestring fries; sweet potatoes lay the foundation for fried rice; plantains transform into “tortillas” for huevos rancheros.

Ali’s recipes for breakfast, snacks, appetizers, sandwiches, soups, salads, casseroles, rices, pastas, and even desserts are easy to follow, hard to mess up, healthful, and completely fresh and flavorful. Best of all, she tells you how to customize them for whatever vegetables you have on hand and whatever your personal goal may be—losing weight, following a healthier lifestyle, or simply making easy meals at home.

Here, too, are tons of technical tips and tricks; nutritional information for each dish and every vegetable you can possibly spiralize; and advice for spiralizing whether you’re feeding just yourself, your family, or even a crowd. So bring on a hearty appetite and a sense of adventure—you’re ready to make the most of this secret weapon for healthy cooking.

The spiralizer has been a blessing. I have been able to get my boys to eat more vegetables, by disguising them on various dishes. The book is well-written, easy to use and recipes are easy to follow. With this book I have been able to make my meatless Mondays a success at home, but I would have like for the ingredients amounts to be more specific (“medium carrot” as compare to what). Also some ingredient are no easy to find. We are not vegan nor vegetarians so it is not like we frequents supermarket where I may find some of the ingredients. The concept of spiralizing the vegetables is fun and delicious.

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
