Fantastic cookbook! Without presenting it as such, Carruthers has created a cookbook that addresses two important needs: (1) creating healthy, delicious, and beautiful work lunches and (2) building an outstanding pantry. I was intimidated at times by some unfamiliar ingredients, but other readers, especially grain connoisseurs, would probably not be. This cookbook made me dream of a day -- probably not far off in our consumerist future -- when curated grocery bundles get marketed alongside new publications. Specialty grains and exotic spices, boxed with your book, ready to cook.

This was a fun and inventive cookbook with beautiful pictures. Made with mostly easy to find ingredients, it still managed to create new ideas for recipes that I wanted to try making. I will probably end up buying this book because it was just so fun and unique.

This veggie forward cookbook will have you diving into delicious, healthy meal bowls every meal of the day. Think eating out of a bowl is just for soup or cereal? Think again! Surrounded by picky eaters or those with dietary restrictions? No problem, Beautifully photographs, precise, well tested recipes and lots of practical advice made this cookbook a pleasure to read. The recipes fill all the requirements of great eating - taste, texture and colour with the added bonus of being super nutritious. Who couldn’t do with adding a few more vegetables into their diet? These recipes makes doing just that a pleasure not a chore. I’m dying to dive in! Excellent first cookbook Caryn! Looking forward to your next one! Highly recommend
