The Plant Protein Revolution by Robin Robertson
This cookbook is a great collection of 96 plant based recipes. I am so happy to see more cookbooks available focused on whole foods and plant based versus just vegan.
This book will give you some background reading but doesn't drone on. It discusses the differences between plant and animal protein, and why plant is king. It will cover around how much protein you really 'need' in a day and why you don't have to worry about the non stop question “Where do you get your protein?”. There's a small section on powerhouse foods nutritional yeast and spirulina, that might not be familiar to some people. (Note: if you try nutritional yeast and hate it, make sure to switch your brand. I couldn't believe the taste difference between the fortified and unfortified yeast. The unfortified was so much better).
There's so small talk about the protein power houses in whole foods including beans, soy, nuts and seeds. It will also give you some tips for how to pack some extra protein into every meal and also the breakdown of the protein count in certain foods.
There's over 60 recipes with no pictures and just over 30 with pictures. This makes me sad, as I love pictures in the cookbooks. It's what really drives me to buy a physical copy and have it on my shelf ready to pull out and admire. Still, this book is great with plenty of good recipes to try. You won't have a million different ingredients in the recipes. You'll find how tasty and wholesome whole food, real food can be. I was surprised to find oil mentioned at all in this cookbook. There usually is a optional tag, or a note that you can sub for water, etc. But oil is not a whole food and is best avoided.
I give 3.5 rounded to 4.
