Through more than 100 enriching plant-based recipes that pair the freshest ingredients with cooking techniques meant to optimize their natural, native flavors, Christina reintroduces you to the creative potential of food and transforms the kitchen from into a nurturing sanctuary.

Interesting Recipes

Seems to be some interesting recipes. I read it more like a book, than trying out the recipes. I do plan on trying a few, though. Everyone's tastes are different, there should be one recipe at least in the book that will become favorite recipes. All in all, I would recommend this book. Thank you Goodreads who provided a complimentary copy. I was under no obligation to post a review.
