So grab your appetite and get ready to try a whole new adventure in your kitchen! Your body, family and wallet will thank you later.

Likes/Dislikes: I’ve never reviewed a cookbook before so I really wanted to try at least one recipe out of this book before writing my review. However, due to budgeting, time constraints and quite honestly forgetting to pick out a recipe, I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I’ve been eying some delicious looking ones such as Almond Waffles with Raspberry-Basil Sauce, Smashed Sardines on Crackers, Chocolate Dipped Popcorn and Tilapia in Caper-Tomato Sauce. I’m not a vegetarian or a participant in the popular gluten-free bandwagon {I also have my own opinions about that but that’s for another post}, so I skipped most of the veggie main dishes and mentally added more meat to other dishes. One thing that really bothered me was that the author uses a lot of canola oil which is a very unhealthy oil for you. I’d go with olive oil instead. I really enjoyed the photos and recipe blueprints.

Rating:  PG-all ages. Recommended for everyone.
