Lovely Cookbook! I'm so happy I discovered Chloe! She was the winner of Cupcake Wars when her vegan cupcakes beat out the non-vegan contestants. How cLovely Cookbook! I'm so happy I discovered Chloe! She was the winner of Cupcake Wars when her vegan cupcakes beat out the non-vegan contestants. How cool is that? She also has a restaurant in New York. Definitely someone to check out in the culinary world!
Whether you are vegan or not, these recipes are delicious, easy to make, and contain accessible ingredients (most) already in the kitchen pantry. The pictures of the food are mouthwatering to look at as well. The recipes are well-tested and come out great!
I got this from the library but after making a few recipes, we decided we want to purchase it soon as we will be making many of the recipes again. I purchased this for me and I would also recommend this to purchase as a gift. That's how much I enjoy it!
Some favorite recipes:
Green Curry Crepes (only I made the curry and served it with rice instead of the crepes) Curried Lentil, Squash, and Apple Stew (comfort food) Chloe's Favorite Five Minute Salad (OMG this is so simple and really good but takes longer than 5) Southern Skillet Black Eyed Peas with Buttery Biscuits: Skipped the biscuits because we had cornbread in the house...however, the black eyed pea recipe was spot on! The flavors all complimented each other so well. Another 5 star recipe! Caribbean Vegetables with Coconut Rice and Plantains: So exotic. I love plantains. Not a fast recipe but definitely another winner! Scalloped Potatoes: WOW! I can't believe it's not dairy. Guilt Free Garlic Mashed Potatoes: So gourmet tasting. Adding this to the holiday menu so we can eat this every year.
Would Skip Next Time (not that they are bad, everything is good but weren't my faves):
Banana Cupcakes with Lemon Icing (expecting cupcakes, got muffins with icing) Barley Bliss (so healthy but too healthy tasting for me) Chloe's Award Winning Mango Masala Panini: OK....I really wanted to make this. But then when I finally did...it took forever to make. Also, tamarind paste was pretty pricey at Whole Foods. It pains me to not say this is a favorite because the components by themselves were good but it was such a heavy sandwich. The men loved it though.
Will update when I make more recipes but I think I've made enough to review the book. I'm a huge Chloe fan!...more
