This is one of my favourite healthy eating books! I'm so happy that a book like this exists. I've been gluten and sugar free (processed sugar) for almost 2yrs now, and initially it was really hard to have inspiration for sweet treats, i had no idea what to do. I had found blogs that fit the bill, but almost all of those were geared towards vegans and vegetarians.
Then i found out about this book and wanted to get it straight away. I love how much info is given especially on bone broths. I also really enjoy the section at the back on how to make things such as nut milks, dips, ketchup, nut butters, yoghurt-the list is endless.
Although some of the recipes seem daunting to make, they're so delicious.
So far i've made the Anytime eggs, Quicker than toast zucchini salad, Chicken tinola, and my favourite Sesame chicken salad with cucumber noodles - I pair this with sweet potato wedges with a cajun seasoning and a squeeze of lime juice. So divine!
I also made my first ever attempt to make chocolate using the recipe in this book. My first batch wasnt that great, but i slowed down the cooking even more( i think i rushed the first time), and the more i make it the smoother and more delicious the chocolate is. I add an orange extract to mine and then once i pour the mould i grate orange zest over it.
There are so many recipes i cant wait to make, such as the paradise bars.
So armed with this cook book, and a few others, I do not feel deprived, and i really enjoy eating the meals.
If you're interested in more books similar to this yet with a bit more of family friendly approaches to eating, one baking book i have is Amber Rose Love Bake Nourish. She uses fruit, honey, and maple syrup in her cakes and they're delicious. And recently I've come across Madaline Shaw, she has some great desserts and a lovely steak salad among other savoury treats.
Yet Hemsley Hemsley is still leaps and bounds above any other I have!
