[Joy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delicious looking recipes that are made with lots of fresh ingredients and will help with my decision to eat more healthily. I'm excited to try these out. My only complaint would be the number of recipes that involve sriracha (I like sriracha, but I feel this trend may be played out).

Nice glossy pages but no recipes that interested me.

21/2 star

[Jo-anne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am never disappointed by Chef Michael Smith even now that I eat a plant-based diet. So, lots of recipes I won't be trying, some I will make as is and others I will need to adapt first.

My favourite cookbook by Chef Smith so far. Huge selection of easy delicious recipes, with beautiful photographs. Even the pickiest eater would find something to enjoy in this book.

I'm loving this book! So far I've tried 4 recipes and they have been fantastic. Pictures are gorgeous and as usual Michael makes the process of cooking his recipes easy.
