Ellie Krieger

This cookbook is divine! It's filled with recipes that feel like new comfort foods. The recipes all feel like really fresh ideas and sound like they fit well into the seasons. Not being a meat eater the first two chapters are all plant based and seafood/fish and there are so many great recipes that it honestly felt like a complete pescatarian cookbook. But that is not to say the meat based recipes weren't luscious looking - because they were as well - and many looked easy to omit the meat and still have a great meal. Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me a copy; opinions are my own.… (altro)

"Usually" is for the healthiest foods which are used most often. "Sometimes" foods are used occasionally to add flavor and variety. "Rarely" foods are used infrequently in small amounts but still make an impact. The roster of recipes her is quite varied, offers nutritional breakdowns, and includes such treats as these: "Family Favorite Granola"; "Apple-Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal"; "English Muffin Breakfast Pizzas"; "Honey-Nut Energy Bars"; "Four Bean Salad"; "Spring Pea Salad"; "Southwestern Layered Salad"; "Cranberry Chicken Salad"; "Shrimp and Snow Pea Salad"; "Chicken and Wild Rice Soup"; "Butternut Squash and Apple Soup"; "Tuscan Seven Vegetable Soup"; "Cheeseburger-Stuffed Twice Baked Potatoes"; "Pork Tenderloin with Mustard-Apricot Sauce"; "Chicken-Broccoli Brown Rice Casserole"; "Asian Shrimp Cakes with Avocado-Wasabi Sauce"; "Spinach and Pesto Lasagna Roll-Ups"; "Roasted Autumn Vegetables"; and "Sweet Potato-Vegetable Bake".
