Green Kitchen at Home: Quick and Healthy Vegetarian Food for Every Day

As much as I enjoyed Green Kitchen Smoothies, smoothies aren't my favorite way to eat a meal, so I've really enjoyed this new book from David and Luise. So far, everything from Green Kitchen at Home has been delicious and relatively simple to make. Banana and spinach pancakes. Middle Eastern sweet potato wraps. Mushroom, goat cheese, pear and walnut fettuccine. Farinata with roasted grapes and ricotta. While some of the GK recipes make use of a food processor and high-speed blender, there are a large number of recipes that are simply chop+saute/roast/simmer/toss-together style meals.Green Kitchen at Home is written in a casual but clear enough style that these recipes are accessible to any home cook, in any sized kitchen, who is interested in cooking vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free/nut-free. There are gorgeously-styled photographs of the finished dish next to each recipe, so it's easy to see what you're making.Green Kitchen at Home doesn't call for exotic & expensive superfoods or hard-to-find ingredients. Assuming you are a vegetarian and like to cook, the odds are good that you'll already have most of what you need: an assortment of nuts, onions and garlic, a variety of spices, lots of fresh vegetables, chia seeds, eggs, avocados, quinoa, those sorts of things. There are some recipes that contain dairy/eggs, but a tip is given on the sidebar about what to substitute, and plenty of recipes that are fully vegan. Likewise, if you're nut-free, David and Luisa include tips on the side for substitutions. All of the recipes are gluten-free.Based on the tagline for this cookbook, "quick and healthy", I assumed this cookbook would be mostly focused on recipes that didn't take very long to make. While there are certainly recipes like that, there are also quite a few recipes that have lengthier ingredient lists and prep/cook times extending well past 30 minutes....even in some of the recipes that are contained in the "during the week" section. However, the majority of those lengthy ingredients lists tend to be things like spices, onion and garlic, and an assortment of vegetables. On closer inspection, the longer prep times often consist of letting your soup simmer or cooking the quinoa, so the actual active time cooking is relatively modest. Even some of the "at the weekend" recipes are simple to throw together, like the Middle Eastern cauliflower & lentil salad and the baked portobello mushrooms in white wine and vegetables.So far, I'm quite pleased with this latest cookbook from Green Kitchen at Home. It's easy to work into my regular cooking routine, all of the options are very healthy but also flavorful and interesting, and they don't cost a ton at the grocery store.

I’ve owned the Green Kitchen Smoothies book for a few months and love it. This cook book is absolutely incredible as well! I’ve recently shifted to a more plant based diet after previously being on a Paleolithic diet. I’ve never felt so good in my life and these recipes are a hit with my husband and two young boys (2 and 6) as well. The flat breads are my favorite along with the spinach pancakes! My kids devoured them and my husband said they’re his favorite pancakes I’ve made. If you’re on fence, don’t hesitate another second to add this to your collection!

This is a beautiful book full of beautiful recipes. In the last year I have had to reign in my diet due to health issues and while I am not a vegetarian, I am trying to eat a plant-based diet. This book is truly inspiring and makes cooking and eating plants a pleasure.

One of my new favorite cookbooks. David and Luise are a real inspiration for everybody who wants to eat healthy and tasty vegetarian food but not fall back on only pasta dishes and standard salads heavy on cheese. Taste is most important, but recipes are also balanced perfectly to get enough protein and fiber along with flavor. Bonus: most recipes are gluten free (without anybody noticing), free of refined sugars and all can be made vegan if wanted with the tips noted in the book. This cookbook is a great tool to use for everyday cooking, with lots of tips and twist to make standard things a bit more special but not difficult. I would recommend this book to everybody!

I love this cookbook. Not only is it beautiful and inspiring but everything I have cooked so far has been delicious. It's thoughtful food with great ideas for adding protein and wholesome carbs to your vegetarian diet and also works really well if you don't eat dairy. The authors offer substitutions. I am not a vegetarian but wanted inspiration for consuming less meat. This is a great option. Some meals take more time but others can be quick! I already have a cabinet filled with flour alternatives and a diverse spice rack so I didn't need to buy a bunch of new and special ingredients to make these recipes work. I am very happy with my purchase!

Family meals at it's best for busy families

This is my new favorite cookbook! I love it! Healthy, tons of veggies, almost no wheat... YES.

Easy to use , great recipes and photos

This is the first Green Kitchen Stories book I've bought. I get the impression from reading other reviews that some of their older recipes feature more complex recipes, but have to say it's not the case with this book. Have made loads of the recipes which have been delicious without exception and very easy - my non-veggie boyfriend and I particularly loved the lemon ricotta lasagne. I've found it so inspiring too, as the authors clearly demonstrate that a small amount of organisation means that easy, nutritious meals can be whipped up quickly throughout the week. And oh my, the photos are gorgeous. A fab book for veggies and non-veggies alike who want more plants in their diet and less time spent in the kitchen!

One of my absolute favourite and go-to cookbooks. These recipes are really healthy and really accessible for the average cook and without hard to find whole food ingredients. They're not too difficult, but the taste is amazing. Would highly recommend any of the Green Kitchen Stories books and recipes.

I bought this book as a Christmas gift for a friend and liked it so much that I bought another one for myself. My friend has already made half of the recipes! I have also tried various breakfast and lunch options - so simple to follow and make, yet so full of flavour and colour. They are also beautifully photographed and presented.

oh my goodness this is my favourite recipe book! It has simply yet delicious recipes in here which the whole family will love! It's my go to book for cooking inspiration and has taken my cooking to the next level (my family loves my cooking now!!)

Fantastic book. Highly recommend.
