Summary

After a decade of struggling with an eating disorder and subsisting on diet, low-calorie processed foods, Angela Liddon vowed to get healthy once and for all。 Done with feeling sick and tired, she threw out her fat-free butter spray and low-calorie frozen dinners。 Instead, Angela embraced whole foods that made her glow from the inside out。 But first, she had to learn to cook-and eat-right。 Five years ago, Angela started a blog, ohsheglows。com, to spread the word about her journey to health and the powerful transformation that food can make in our lives。 Almost overnight, her energy and authenticity attracted readers eager to create their own positive life changes。 Today, Oh She Glows attracts millions of visitors every month, making it one of the most popular vegan recipe blogs on the Internet。

Accessible, interesting and easy vegan cookbook。 With lovely pictures and clear explanations。 You too can glow from the inside out!

Christine W

Some delicious recipes, such as festive kale salad with sweet apple-cinnamon vinaigrette and pecan Parmesan, but more time-consuming and expensive than expected。

Alexandria

Excellent! Cant wait to try out some of the recipes ive ear marked。My only criticism is that itd be nice if there was a nutritional breakdown accompanied with the recipes。

Marne

This is one of my hands down favorite cookbooks。 The one that when I make one of the recipes for friends, they walk out with a copy of the recipe。 That good。 Easy substitutions to add meat/dairy, no hard to find ingredients。

Maria Strauss

Has nice recipes, it is OK。

Bree Maack

My favorite cookbook。 The tacos in here are a favorite for my birthday weekend trip I take with my sisters every year!!!!

Cool vegan cookbook! The food photography is excellent and I honestly just enjoyed looking at all the recipes。 ;) So far, I've tried the Chia Power Doughnuts (as muffins, pg。 41) and the Sweet Potato and Black Bean Enchiladas (pg 147)。 They were both a success! Definitely recommend, if you're an omnivore, vegetarian or vegan! Cool vegan cookbook!

This is a must have recipe book for those wanting vegan recipes。 I have made most of the recipes and they are delicious!

Lena Phealan

The recipes are excellent。 It would be nice to have nutritional info included。

Susan

An excellent recipe book for tasty and easy to make Vegan dishes。 Includes: breakfasts, appetizers, soups and main dishes and uses ingredients that are easily purchased。 As a newby to plant-based eating, I tried over half of the recipes and most were keepers。

A favorite of mine。 A little thin on entrees and too many Tex-mex style recipes。 It also falls victim to the same plight of all vegan cookbooks—- a big dessert section。 I’d personally rather they skip that all together 。。。 Although I’m not vegan and just prefer to make the real stuff for dessert。 Recipes are delicious for the most part though。

Andrea

This is a main stable cookbook for me。 It helped me start my whole food plant based lifestyle。 If you are WFPB you need to change some recipes since there is a difference between WFPB and vegan。 But it will help get you started。

I liked the book itself but wasn't interested in a ton of the recipes。 I did make the lentil loaf, sans raisins, and it was a hit。 My omnivore son loves meatloaf but says he likes this more! He also enjoyed lentil loaf in a sandwich too。 I liked the book itself but wasn't interested in a ton of the recipes。 I did make the lentil loaf, sans raisins, and it was a hit。 My omnivore son loves meatloaf but says he likes this more!

This is the best cookbook I have ever used。 The recipes are simple, flavourful and very healthy。 They also seem easy to adjust, and remain tasty。

If you had told me a few years ago that I'd ever own a vegan cookbook, I might have laughed。 It isn't that I have anything against veganism, but I am a fairly committed omnivore。 But my best friend had been exploring moving increasingly toward a plant-based diet, so she got me this book for Christmas。 As someone who actually does READ cookbooks, I feel confident in reviewing it here。 Liddon has a very approachable, non-preachy style。 She gives an overview to different types of oils, flours, and If you had told me a few years ago that I'd ever own a vegan cookbook, I might have laughed。 It isn't that I have anything against veganism, but I am a fairly committed omnivore。 But my best friend had been exploring moving increasingly toward a plant-based diet, so she got me this book for Christmas。 As someone who actually does READ cookbooks, I feel confident in reviewing it here。 Liddon has a very approachable, non-preachy style。 She gives an overview to different types of oils, flours, and nuts, etc as well as techniques。 I could do without some of the cutesy names for the recipes, but Liddon is also fairly self-aware of her tone: "I'm sure it sounds cliché coming from a vegan。。。" she tells us when she tells us how excited she is about the "Salads" section。 The recipes are divided into sections: breakfast; smoothies, juice & tea; appetizers; salads; soup; entrées; sides; power snacks; desserts; and homemade staples。 Very useful is the "basic cooking chart" which gives basic cooking times for lentils, quinoa and the like。 The food photography is quite nice, and there are photos of Liddon and her husband peppered throughout the book。 She does, in fact, seem to glow。Of the recipes, strong standouts (that I tried) are: Healing rooibos tea, Sweet potato & Black bean enchiladas with avocado-cilantro "cream" sauce (scare quotes mine); Crowd-pleasing Tex Mex casserole, Our Favorite Veggie Burger。 The Lentil Walnut loaf that some folks claim is "better than traditional meat loaf" is well。。。not better or worse, but definitely different。 I felt it could have had better flavor, and I think I'd make the lentils in curry next time。 I prefer more of the recipes in Oh She Glows Every Day: Simply Satisfying Plant-Based Recipes to Keep You Glowing from the Inside Out, Liddon's second book, but this is a solid cookbook for anyone looking to get into plant-based cookbook。 。。。more

It had some potential, and there are a few I want to try。 Maybe one day I'll get it again and get more out of it, but at the moment I'm very much not vegan enough。 It had some potential, and there are a few I want to try。 Maybe one day I'll get it again and get more out of it, but at the moment I'm very much not vegan enough。 。。。more

I enjoyed the process of reading this - the photos and recipes made me want to try the latter out asap, and I even took out my (old and under-used) blender to make a few smoothies。 But the results didn't live up to the hype much of the time - it tasted okay but also too much like how people who don't like vegetarian food think veg food would taste (which is not the case for my favourite vegetarian food bloggers like minimalist baker and cookieandkate)。There were some good ones - I did like some I enjoyed the process of reading this - the photos and recipes made me want to try the latter out asap, and I even took out my (old and under-used) blender to make a few smoothies。 But the results didn't live up to the hype much of the time - it tasted okay but also too much like how people who don't like vegetarian food think veg food would taste (which is not the case for my favourite vegetarian food bloggers like minimalist baker and cookieandkate)。There were some good ones - I did like some of the soups and I intend to continue trying out some other recipes from the book。 So far, though, I have only copied one recipe over to my paprika app (Eat Your Greens Detox Soup)。 (Oh, I also enjoyed the savoury oatmeal-lentil breakfast, but it's one of those great ideas that don't really require a recipe。) 。。。more

As a non-vegan, I was thoroughly impressed with the recipes。 Everything I made was delicious。 Love that each recipe had a full page picture to accompany it, too。

I really wanted to like this one but there was only one recipe out of the whole book that looked even appetizing to me。

My favourite cook book。

I have been vegan for almost 5 years now。 This was the first cookbook I bought, and still use it every week! Angela's personal story was an important touch, allowing many readers who have had eating disorders or issues with body image/relatio ship with foods。 I highly recommend for vegans or non vegans alike, I haven't found a recipe I didn't like or enjoy yet!

A good basic cookbook for those new to exploring vegan and vegetarian options。 If you’ve been around a while, you may find most of the recipes a little uninspiring。 I didn’t find much new in here to save or try, but I can see how it would be a good beginning point。

I have a *lot* of vegan cookbooks, but many of them fall into the "okay but I have to get this and this and this for that recipe" category。 This is not one of those cookbooks。 When I can't figure out what to make, but have a few staple vegetables on hand, I know I can pick up this book and find something fun and new to make。 Seriously, if you're vegan, you ought to purchase this, particularly if you're the kind who's bad about meal prepping and grocery shopping with specific recipes in mind。 I have a *lot* of vegan cookbooks, but many of them fall into the "okay but I have to get this and this and this for that recipe" category。 This is not one of those cookbooks。 When I can't figure out what to make, but have a few staple vegetables on hand, I know I can pick up this book and find something fun and new to make。 Seriously, if you're vegan, you ought to purchase this, particularly if you're the kind who's bad about meal prepping and grocery shopping with specific recipes in mind。 。。。more

Gorgeous photography which made it worth the read。 Pantry staples and equipment section is a bit of a yawn。 Some of the “recipes” are for smoothies, etc。 — and who really needs a recipe? Some interesting dishes like the peanut noodle bowl (yum) and some new ideas for me to try。

Nicole Snyder

I cook from this book often。 Angela's recipes introduce useful techniques and are all very adaptable。 She has a positive tone that can be helpful when trying a new recipe。 I cook from this book often。 Angela's recipes introduce useful techniques and are all very adaptable。 She has a positive tone that can be helpful when trying a new recipe。 。。。more

I don’t mind little stories, and I certainly love that the recipes are accompanied with photos。 But you’re writing a cookbook not a novel! Most recipes in this book spread over to the next page。 The last thing I want to do with my oily, sticky baking/cooking fingers is to turn a page。 A cookbook gotta be practical to use。 All my other cookbooks are able to accomplish that, unless it’s a very complicated, multi-step dish。 Here, it’s the norm, not the exception。While I overall approve of the dishes and I’ve gotten many recipes from the Oh She Glows blog, I am sincerely disappointed in the prematurity of this book and gives me a sour impression of blogger ego-complex。Both of these problems could have been easily avoided if all the editors, publishers, and who else was involved in making this book would feel comfortable expressing and giving constructive criticism。Hope she’s improved that for her follow up books。 。。。more
