I have tried several of the recipes already and found all of them delicious and easy to prepare . I recommend for anyone embracing a plant based diet

Yum. Plant-Based Cookbook: 100 Delicious Recipes for a Healthy Life by Melissa Petitto, R.D. has several great recipes to try out with easy instructions. I love that each recipe has a picture. The book contains a good variety of recipes using various foods and not the same boring vegan options. I like how the book is laid out by seasons and then sweet and savory and Food Facts that tell a little about the ingredient being used.

One of my favorites that I tried was the Italian Stuffed Artichokes. I also used some of the recipes to improvise and use on other vegetables or as main sauces. The recipes are versatile.

I'm looking forward to trying more in the coming weeks.

Loved loved the colours of this book! Beautiful images of veggies in rainbow colours! The recipes are simple, nutritious and mouth savoury. Best part: the recipes are organized by season! As someone who hates having to run around for ingredients when they are not in season, this book makes it easy to follow recipes with fresh ingredients available easily!

Plant- Based Cookbook, by Melissa Petitto, is one of the best vegetarian cookbooks I’ve read. The recipes are divided by Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter so you can use seasonal ingredients. There are gorgeous pictures for every recipe which I love. The desert recipes in this book alone are worth buying it. There really are no “boring” recipes in this one. They are so different and I’m very excited to try most of them. The only downside I can see is that most recipes do call for a good bit of ingredients, some of which you may not already have. I think this is a small thing that will be easily overlooked when you make these delicious sounding dishes!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the opportunity to read this book.

The book contains four sections: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter recipes. Each has savory and sweet recipes. The design of the book is good, which is essential for cookbooks. Each recipe has a photograph of a prepared meal beside the recipe. I like that. That way, it is easier for me to decide to cook a meal from a book.

Many recipes look delicious, and I will try them out. Some recipes contain a bit unusual ingredients, but that is something you would expect as all the recipes are vegan, but some are also gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, etc.

Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

I love a cookbook that is separated into seasons! Makes meal planning enjoyable to be able to flip to the current season and browse the recipes. Within the seasons the recipes are split between Savory and Sweet to further aid in browsing. Easy to read design of the recipe pages along with classification and lots of photos, the one drawback would be that many of the recipes seem a bit time consuming for everyday weeknight use.

Thanks to Melissa Petitto, Chartwell Books and NetGalley for this digital ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book is awesome! It has lots of great plant-based recipes and I can't wait to make some. I like that it was categorized by season, which isn't typically for a cookbook.

This is one of the best plant-based cookbooks ever. Inside the cookbook you will find Seasonal fruits and Veggies listed before the recipes for that season, (spring, summer, winter, fall). The healthy recipes are then listed in a Savory Section and Sweet Section. I have made the coconut bread, peach crumble and baked apple cider donuts. They were very easy to make and delicious.

Here's what I like about his book. First, the recipes are separated by season which manages to feel like both a stylistic and practical choice. The recipes recommend with type of dairy substitute to use. Coconut milk and almond milk taste very different. A recipe may work with either but will probably taste best with one over the other. The photos are gorgeous and make me want to eat (and cook). There are allergy notes at the top of each recipe like 'gluten-free' or 'soy-free.' This is helpful for me as I have allergies. And finally, there are recipes for two of the holly grail vegan foods, mac and cheese and crème brulee. I don't know if either of them works but I will definitely be giving them a try.
The one criticism I have for this book is the use of alternative sweeteners. This is probably just me but I'm not eating plant based as a choice, I have to eat this way. Again this is due to my allergies. Substituting the one thing I can actually eat, sugar, for something that will not taste as good is disappointing. It adds another layer of compromise to my already compromised life.

Wonderful recipes! I've been a vegetarian for over two years not and am learning to branch out from my tried and true recipes. These were tasty dishes with easy to acquire ingredients, even in my small town market. I look forward to purchasing this for my library and enjoying new meals!

A vegan cookbook where the recipes are divided seasonally. Most of the ingredients are easy to source and all of the recipes have accompanying photographs, which in my opinion, is a must for a cookbook.

I am particularly looking forward to trying the Crispy Cauliflower BBQ Tacos, the Strawberry Shortcake and the Blueberry Coffee Cake.

Thank you #NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for the free copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was a really great cookbook with lots of fresh new takes on recipes! I really like the seasonal sections and find that it is such a handy resources especially when following a plant based diet!
Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for providing me with an arc for an honest review.

Such a lovely book! I like the idea that is not used that much, the separation of recipes according to four seasons. Gives us a nice way of being focused on seasonal ingredients. The photos in the book are very appealing, and to me a cookbook should always have a picture of every dish, but lately I’ve read lots of books without pictures.

My favourite thing about this book, besides the recipes, is the food fact part. It’s nice to read what you are actually eating when you use ginger, raspberry etc. I found several recipes I will try, and I’m sure some of them will make it on my list of foods I make regularly. I’m happy that this book has used a lot of the same ingredients I normally use, but in different ways. This might not be all healthy recipes, and I try to make healthy, fresh food, but it has plenty of those recipes as well. 4,5 stars.

Plant Based Cookbook is a vibrant and exciting collection of recipes based on the seasons. The single best most appealing thing was the abundance of bright colourful photographs to accompany the recipes. For me this is they key to a good cookbook and encourages the reader to have a go at new things with confidence. The recipe selection was good and there are a few dishes I am itching to have a go at, some not so much. I liked the way the book is not laden with unnecessary waffle and it really is all about the food. Great recipe book.

A plant-based cookbook for all seasons, Melissa Petitto’s plant-based cookbook delivers just what it sets out to do. Showcasing seasonal fruits and vegetables, Petitto’s recipes will excite anyone already living a plant-based lifestyle and entice the plant-based curious. Some of my favorites include black rice ramen with kombu dashi-miso broth and spring vegetables, strawberry shortcake with whipped coconut cream, the carmelized golden tomato tarte tatin and the roasted brussels sprouts with dried figs, furikake and slivered almonds. There’s not much in the way of narrative, just a few brief sentences that accompany each recipe, which feels appropriate and lets the food shine through. Thank you to Chartwell Books and NetGalley for the advanced review copy of this book.

Plant-Based Cookbook by Melissa Petitto, R.D. is gorgeously designed and perfectly organized for the home-cook. The meals are both separated by season and then again in the categories of savory or sweet. What I loved most is that this book focuses not only on plant-based meals but seasonal meals! It's often hard to make plant-based recipes from books due to the seasonal availability of fresh produce, but this book solves that problem for you. Each recipe is very easy to follow along with and paired with a beautiful picture of the finished product. I really enjoyed the additional food facts about the nutritional value of the ingredients in the meals. Definitely a recommendation for anyone looking to add more seasonal produce to your meals!

5/5 Stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – Chartwell Books for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Plant-Based Cookbook is a well written and beautifully designed cookbook! Vibrantly colored food photographs accompany the recipes to provide inspiration. The book is divided into the four seasons and at the beginning of each chapter there is a list of the produce that is in season, guaranteeing the most flavorful outcomes for the recipes. Four of the seasonal recipes that stood out to me the most are collard green wraps, jackfruit jerk "carnitas", hasselback butternut squash with currants and hazelnuts, and pumpkin cashew cheesecake. These fresh and flavorful recipes would please even the pickiest of eaters and would be an excellent addition to a plant-based diet.

A beautiful cookbook with a photo to show each recipe (which I find really helpful - even if my meals never look as pretty!) I am always looking for new meat free recipes to try and there are plenty here to choose from. I particularly like the Fall section as there were some surprising ideas there.

I would definitely recommend this cookbook.

Many thanks to NetGalley and publishers for letting me read and review it!

Just starting to convert to vegetarianism so this was a good starting book for me. Eye catching cover & beautifully illustrated pages with some gorgeous recipes (albeit not grain free as stated) Little nutritional bites of information peppered throughout. All in all a fantastic book to help you begin that journey to a healthier you

I just finished reading this lovely cookbook from Melissa Petitto, and it's very well done. I really enjoyed that there are photos with each of the recipes-helps those of us that are very visual. Some more pluses were the Food Facts scattered throughout with nutrition info, the seasonality of the recipes, and the generous portion sizes (I hate vegan cookbooks that have small portions--don't they understand we need to eat more?).
One thing that concerned me, and I hope it's corrected before publication, is the mislabeling on recipes. Most of the sweet recipes are labelled "grain free", but they contain all purpose flour, cornstarch, and oats, all of which are grains. I wouldn't want someone getting ill due to the labels.
Overall this is a great cookbook, and I'm off to make the Quick Pickles now...
