Some nice ideas and recipes, but considering she talks about how important it is to protect the environment there are a lot of animal products in almost every single one of her recipes!

"Pulse: Modern recipes with beans, peas & lentils" is an inspiring collection of recipes that showcases the versatility and nutritional benefits of pulses. The book strikes a great balance between simple and complex recipes, making it accessible and motivating for cooks of all levels. The visuals and structure are excellent, and the recipes are innovative and exciting. While it could have included more historical and scientific context for added depth, it remains a fantastic resource for anyone looking to incorporate more plant-based ingredients into their diet.
