The Plant-Based Cookbook by Melissa Petitto R.D.
100 Delicious Recipes for a Healthy Life

Filled with beautiful photographs, easy to read and follow recipes and tasty intriguing recipes this book appealed to me. I have mixed feelings because as much as I might want to try some of the recipes…almost every one of them would require substitutions for ingredients I cannot find or are too expensive for me to purchase here in Lebanon.

What I liked:
* The division of the book into seasons
* The list of fruits and vegetables in season
* The division of recipes into Savory first followed by Sweet
* Metric and imperial measurements for recipes
* Specifics about the recipe that would allow for allergies, diet preferences, etc
* The introduction at the beginning of each recipe telling a bit about it.
* Food fact boxes
* The beautiful photos
* That I could practically taste the recipes via photo and ingredients
* The variety of recipes

What I didn’t like:
* That many ingredients are not easily found where I live

Did I enjoy reading this book? Yes
Would I buy this book? Probably not since I can’t find ingredients easily
Would I buy this book as a gift? Only if the person lived where they could find the ingredients

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group-Chartwell Books for the ARC – This is my honest review.
