3.5
“Good for You contains recipes that are vegan, gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, or a combo. As someone who suffers from chronic fatigue syndrome and chronic inflammation, I am always looking for new recipe ideas. I do find this more effective for me than my family as they are quite picky. I really appreciate the labeling each recipe had. In the end, I think this is for a person who is more inclined to experiment and has access to better ingredients than I do.”
“2.5 stars
Lots of meat centered recipes for a cookbook highlighting veggie based recipes on the cover. Also not for the average home cook. I’m fairly adventurous in my home cooking and some of these ingredients I’ve never seen anywhere before. Disappointed.”
“In my attempt to find new vegetarian recipes for my family I decided to download this one from NetGalley.
I enjoyed reading this cookbook with 100 recipes that are great for healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, and or vegan diets. While most of the recipes fall under more vegetarian, there are also dishes with meat in it. The recipes are bold in flavours and are influenced by international flavours: Indian, Southern, Mexican & Italian cuisine. The recipes seemed more complicated then I wanted to attempt with ingredients that I don't normally have on hand, however, it seemed like they would be fun for an evening of cooking and food!
The photos are stunning, colorful, pleasing and inviting. I did find myself more interested in looking at the recipes, photos and reading what Akhtar Nawab had to say rather than making the recipes.”
“Cooking with Fresh new ideas in the middle of a Pandemic, this book is a must. Loved the recipes. This book offers ideas and recipes to change up food. I loved this and my family have enjoyed eating all the new meals I have cooked.”
“Chef Akhtar Nawab has produced a wonderful cookbook that will be sure to be popular addition to any kitchen! The back story of how he came to be a chef , from Domino's Pizza to Ton Colicchio's Gramercy Tavern in NYC, was quite interesting to read. His stories were the background for his love of cooking and discovery of how to make popular recipes more healthy. I enjoyed the Foundations chapter as it has some really great recipes to start building other great clean-eating foods. The photographs accompanying the recipes are in themselves enough to want a person to try the recipe. I found that none of the recipes seemed overly difficult or had such unusual/hard-to-find ingredients. Definitely a cookbook that will be used in many kitchens. Thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for the ARC of this cookbook in return for an honest review, which this has been. #NetGalley #GoodForYou.”
