I have another book from this author but decided to purchase this for two main reasons: Simplicity and portable meals for myself during the day and the kids for lunch and it fit both requirements.Like many others, our days are busy with work, school, activities, fitting in a workout. My husband and I both have extensive travel too, so the last thing I want is beginning or ending a day with heavy meal prep; yet we still want to eat healthily and as plant based as possible. This book allows this with make ahead items such as smoothie jars and protein bowls that you can just pull out of the fridge when its time to eat. I also like the fact that this is adaptable from one person to a whole family and covers breakfast, lunch, entrees, higher protein meals, items that kids will like and meals you can freeze and eat., or have ready in an Instant pot type appliance.Another call out as I often see this as an ask of many cookbooks is the fact that the nutritional analysis is included so you see the calories, far, carbs, fiber, sugar and protein.There are a lot of really appealing recipes, I was impressed with breakfast options as I have been trying to get my kids to try new things that provide a better start to the day: the smoothie jars are perfect in this instance as you simply assemble the night before and blend day of use so it takes seconds in the morning. There are also waffles, chia cups, oatmeal, that can all be ready to go quickly at the start of a day.For lunch there are salads (innovative too) wraps, stews, pizzas that can all be alternated with the dinners which includes tacos, stir fry, Soba, lasagna, even a bouillabaisse -vegan style and much easier to prep. Ingredients are easily found in any grocery store, which also makes this book an advantage over some others.A highlight for me is the spinach onion sour cream dip – a secret guilty pleasure of mine is onion dip which is not good for you but this uses sunflower sour cream which can be made ahead, does not require soaking overnight and its quick to prepare. Same with the cashew ranch. There are also some great snacks: Chocolate Tahini “nice cream”, seed clusters, even a vegan (peppery seitan ) jerky. And great sauces which can be made ahead to make prep on other dishes even faster.This book also contains weekly shopping guides, and suggested menus, so great for everyone but particularly those new to a plant based diet, looking for an easy guide to start. Nothing is overly complex and these recipes are attainable for all.Great book, now I am off to eat my spinach onion dip (with carrots of course)!! Really well thought out book. I had received a preview copy from Netgalley, but I enjoyed the recipes enough that I decided to purchase a hardcover copy of this one.The recipes are different and original, but simple. The Dill Roasted Chickpeas with Potato Wedges was delicious. The shopping lists contained ingredients that were easily obtained at most local supermakets, even ones in smaller towns.Everything was organized and easy to understand. I only had one small criticism. I don’t do complicated breakfasts. I make some overnight oats with some dried fruit, or some granola. A lot of people are the same about quick uncomplicated breakfasts. I wish she had separated the shopping list, with the breakfast ingredients in a separate category. It didn’t affect my rating because it was small flaw in a really great cookbook.I did have to cut down the proportions because I am single person, but that was easy. Everything worked well, and tasted great. I was able to easily put away a week of meals without a lot of work.The cleanup was also easy. I didn’t make a lot of mess in the kitchen.This one is a keeper. I’ve tried a few of the recipes so far and generally like them as does my family. That’s a plus right there! I’ve made the Cauliflower Chowder (pg. 99) and that was so flavorful! Then I made the Brussels Carrot Quiche ( pg.109) While I liked it it needs improvement. Next time I will add onion and sauté all the veggies before incorporating. I guess that technically makes it a Frittata and not a Quiche but who cares. Everyone was certain it contained eggs! NOT :-). I can see many of these recipes as camping meals. The book gives great guidelines for prepping, saving time and frustration. A plus is the nutritional analysis of each recipe for those who watch their intake. I’m pleased I added it to my cookbook collection. What a great book! I consider myself to be a very competent vegan cook, and I really enjoy cooking. Between work and other commitments, there are some weeks when I just can’t find the time to cook, and for those weeks, this book will be a tremendous resource.Full menus, shopping lists, reheating needs, etc., are all thoughtfully laid out. The recipes themselves are great, too, whether you want to batch prep them or not, making this a great addition to any vegan cookbook collection.I tend to get stuck in a rut of freezing single-portion soups to bring to work for lunch on those busy weeks. While soup is great, it’s nice to have something fresh or with a little more variety. The meals in this book go far beyond bowls and soups (the breakfast options alone are awesome), and I am really looking forward to prepping them! This book is amazing! I work two jobs and this has helped me make sure I get good and delicious meals in between and during! Definitely recommend this book for singles, couples or families! The book is filled with easy to follow, no-brainer step-by-step instructions on how to prep weekly meals. The cookbook takes care of all the planning and even provides shopping lists. That in itself saves you time! And the recipes are delicious!!! And the pictures are drooling worthy!Note: I was a recipe tester for this cookbook and have since been using her meal prep methods and recipes for some time now. I’m happy the book is out now for everyone! So far I love this book! It really helps you plan your week efficiently. Question: In the Nutritional Analysis for each recipe, Grams of sugar are listed separate from carbohydrates. So, can I assume they are in addition to the carbohydrates?? Usually sugars are a subset of carbs in most analyses, but she lists fiber after carbs, then sugars. Confusing. Can anyone clarify? Loving this book! Well-written, clear and concise, gorgeous photos, and fantastic recipes everyone will love. Comfy in your hands and easy to flip through, too. Helpful info whether you’re new to cooking or a seasoned home chef.
