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.

Back to the Cutting Board by Christina Pirello

Thinking this would be a vegan plant-based cookbook to get some new ideas from I eagerly opened to find…just that. I also found that many of the flavors and ingredients would be difficult to find where I live in the Middle East. That said, the recipes were not difficult to read and would be easy to follow and the photographs looked tasty and rather oriental in inspiration with rustic pottery and dishes to display them. Many of the recipes look similar to meals I might cook at home using what is at hand…although the author’s kitchen has much more variety than mine does and she uses combinations of ingredients I have not used together before. This book also speaks about “The Five Transformations of Energy – The Dynamic Cycles of Nature” - yin & yang – earth/soil, metal, water, wood/tree, fire – not the ones I am familiar with. The idea for the title – her grandmother’s cutting board made by her grandfather – that stuck with me and will stay with me longer than anything else in the book.

Thank you to BenBella Books for the ARC – This is my honest review

Delicious recipes, some of which were on her PBS cooking show.

Hard to find (or pronounce) not in my price range ingredients along with a palate that doesn't quite match mine. I think it's a good idea, just wasn't turned into a convert.
