It's All Good finally came up on my queue at the library, and let me tell you, this is a good cookbook! Even in this day and age where recipes are perpetually available via the internet, there's just something about reading a recipe out of a cookbook that I prefer. Call me old fashioned, I guess.
Gwyneth's cookbook focuses on returning to whole foods, eliminating processed foods, and creating a diet that is clean, healthy, and packed with proteins and leafy greens. Basically, every page looks utterly healthy yet simultaneously delicious!
While I enjoy homecooking, and enjoy trying out new recipes, but unless I have a specific recipe to follow point by point, I don't have a lot of memorized staples in my repertoire. Particularly in regards to vegetables, which I typically prefer anyway as an entree to chicken or beef. That's where I think this cookbook prevails; with recipes that seem easy enough to make, eventually memorize, and master without the need of skimming a cookbook page at every turn.
A few recipes I've got my eye on...
+ grilled asparagus + portobellos with shallots + soy dressing
+ broccoli rabe with garlic + red chili
+ simple beet salad
+ carrots with black sesame + ginger
+ charred corn with chimichurri
+ roasted cauliflower + chickpeas with mustard + parsley

I got this from the library too! I made her siracha salmon with the Vietnamese salad - it was really good! But I did NOT make my own siracha, I just used the stuff from the store.
I totally know what you mean about reading recipes out of cookbooks...It's so great and I totally need this one. Sounds perfect! Have a great day. xoxo
I want to check this out. I'm in such a food rut, and this looks like the perfect solution!
I'm not much of a cool but this one sounds like something I might actually use! And of course I love Gwyneth. :-)
