Inspiralized and Beyond: Spiralize, Chop, Rice, and Mash Your Vegetables into Creative, Craveable Meals: A Cookbook

by Ali Maffucci

Spiralizing isn't just about noodles anymore, so blogger Ali Maffucci satisfies paleo, vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free diets with 125 healthy recipes for vegetarians and meat-eaters alike.

“Ali continues her genius spiralizing but adds in a number of other ways to approach vegetables, to make it easy to get your five (or more!) a day.”  —MindBodyGreen

For the first time, Ali Maffucci, founder of the healthy culinary brand Inspiralized, is going beyond expectations—and beyond spiralizing. In this book she shows you a myriad of additional ways to add nutrients to your diet, reach a personal health goal, or just make good-for-you meals at home. Sweet potato slabs replace toast, cauliflower becomes pizza crust, broccoli turns into tots, avocado gets moussed, jackfruit mimics pulled meat—and that’s just the beginning. Among the  brand-new recipes, complete with nutritional information, you’ll find Rainbow Lasagna, Apple French Toast, and Cauliflower Steaks with Chimichurri. Rest assured, Ali still offers up some favorite spiralized dishes, too. Get ready to get your veggies on.

This is the third recipe book from Ali Maffucci, which includes many recipes using a spiralizer. Ali has designed and manufactured her own brand called the Inspiralizer, which I have been using for a little over a year with the other two cookbooks. How many Inspiralizer recipe books do you need? Well, you definitely want to have this one. Not every recipe uses the tool, but all are healthy, vegetable-centric, and most of them are accompanied by beautiful colored photos. If you want healthy, delicious meals that are easy to prepare while being creatively different, you'll want to read this book.

I've followed Ali on social media for years and read all of her cookbooks. While I enjoy all of her recipes, this actually might be my favorite book of hers. The recipes are definitely more advanced and require more work; however, they also seem a little more filling and approachable than some of her other recipes. I definitely left with lots of creative healthy ideas and I can't wait to actually make a few of them. If you have your healthy basics down and are looking for something to break up your same ol' same ol' routine of salads and seared fish, consider checking this out and branching into some more interesting possibilities.

Maffucci's cookbook is devoted to spiralizing vegetables, essentially changing them from one thing to another. While an interesting idea for a cookbook I only found myself wanting to try a couple of recipes.

Some interesting recipes but not motivating me enough to buy a fancy spiralizer with different blades. I have a simple inexpensive one but that won't work for many of these recipes. I found about six recipes in here that I may use.

Interesting, healthy take on a lot of dishes, although skipped over the spiralized ones and focused on the beyond.
