Every Night of the Week Veg: Meat-free Beyond Monday; A Zero-tolerance Approach to Bland



About the Book
In Every Night of the Week Veg Meat-free Beyond Monday, it's a daily slog to get veg in the mouths of every member of the household. Welcome to your sanity solution – delicious meals that vegetarians and meat-eaters will love in equal measure, served with a generous dollop of Lucy Tweed's trademark wit.

Choose your own daily adventure from:
  • Monday Cowboy Pasta Dreams Pasta every which way, because there's nothing as truly weeknight
  • Toned-down Tuesdays Big, bold flavours with a laid-back attitude;one-pan where possible
  • Saucy Wet Wednesdays Soups and curries and slurries and spice
  • Carbs-Filled-With-Things Thursdays From loaded buns and spuds to lovely things squashed into dough, this is comfort central
  • Phat Snack Fridays Throw-it-together munchies with two criteria: 1. Use it up, and 2. Make it irresistible
  • The Bold and the Beautiful Saturday Salads Show-off salads that take the spotlight come BBQ day
  • Sunday Oeufs If you say it in French, it's sexier. All your egg needs for Sunday
  • Sweet Anytime Treats Just because. 
My Take on the Book
I love finding new recipes that I can eat as a vegetarian, and this recipe has SO MANY to choose from. The book was full of a variety of great recipes and food options, so you are not bound eating only certain items. What I loved was that this cookbook had so many types of food to try and it incorporated way more things than I would have originally thought of. I have already marked about 15 recipes that I am planning to make. The recipes are well laid out and the illustrations make it easy to know what you are making (and what it should look like). Looking forward to all of these great tasting foods in the near future!

Book Review - The Vegetarian Reset: 75 Low-Carb, Plant-Forward Recipes from Around the World

The Vegetarian Reset: 75 Low-Carb, Plant-Forward Recipes from Around the World



About the Book

The Vegetarian Reset celebrates a lifestyle where a foodie sensibility intersects with healthy eating. It solves the never-ending dilemma that all plant-based eaters face: Is life fun when you eat salad every day, or is it worth it to let your health take a backseat to enjoy a big bowl of rice or pasta without enough protein?

In her debut cookbook, Vasudha Viswanath takes readers on a little trip around the world, drawing inspiration from an array of traditional and global cuisines that are rich in whole foods like vegetables, legumes, and healthy fats. Seasonal vibrant recipes are moderately low-carb and put vegetables front and center, while also being gluten-free! Learn to bake healthy bread from scratch, make paella out of cauliflower rice, transform paneer into gnocchi, and sweeten brownies with dates! Whether you already follow a low-carb lifestyle or simply want to add more healthy dishes into your rotation, The Vegetarian Reset will delight and inspire vegetarians, vegans, and omnivores alike to eat well, fully nourish, and reset your body.

My Take on the Book
This was an amazing book! I just became a vegetarian about a year ago and I continue to look for great recipes that I can make that bring in variety and flavor and this book really did both. So often I have thought that I had to stick to certain foods and give up on other foods that I loved. This cookbook really allowed me to see that I could try a ton of great food and not give up on flavor or variety. The recipes were easy to follow, and had beautiful images which allowed me to get a sense of what it "should" look like, but also really helped me walk step-by-step into a whole world of food to try. The end result was delicious meals that were filling and scrumptious. If you love vegetarian meals, this is a cookbook you do not want to miss!
