I received this book free to review from Netgalley. The author states up front that she relies heavily on eggs and soy as her main sources of protein. She also includes lots of dairy. I did find some good ideas and a couple of recipes that I want to try but I am a bit turned off because the measurements are in ml/oz or g/oz - not in cups so that means that you have to have a kitchen scale to follow her recipes. She also includes ingredients that I would not use because they are expensive or hard to find or things I don't want to eat or in one case, I have no idea what it even is. She includes things like quail's eggs - where do you get those and it sounds expensive, saffron threads - expensive, soy flour and vegetarian sausage - ick, and swede - trimmed and peeled and cubed - what is swede? I was thinking that it was a person from Sweden, but the kindle dictionary says it is a rutabaga - and honestly - I don't think I have ever eaten that either. She refers to something called "kitchen paper" - I am not sure what that is - from the context I am thinking it may be paper towels? So, I think the book may be better for people familiar with her terminology and measurements and who likes soy a lot more than I do.
