Clean Enough

This is my first time getting a non fiction book! I loved the way Katie writes and explains everything! I will definitely be trying most of these!

Now, to be frank, I want to try all of the "Enough" recipes. Though I know that in the "Clean" portion there are probably plenty of tasty meal options. My sweet tooth, and the beauty of baking and desserts, is stronger and then has a much stronger pull in my brain space for the recipes that captured my attention in that category.

I appreciate the background and knowledge that Guy-Hamilton brings to each recipe. For many of the recipes she offers a brief story or experience attached--how she learned to love the item or the situation out of which it was birthed. Couple those things with the delicious looking photos-- I can think of a few people that I know that would enjoy this book.

This is a reminder for myself (I'm reviewing this on 08/02/2018 and want to remember in January 2019) you want to purchase this book for yourself. Don't question the review!

CLEAN ENOUGH is a beautiful book with gorgeous photos that redefines clean eating, with 100 recipes for vegetarian whole foods that nourish body and mind. Encourages readers to relinquish hard-to-follow trends and return to the basics with simple whole flavorful ingredients — and even dessert! Right now I’m heading to the kitchen to try the Green Pow Wow Smoothie, then I’m fixing Luxury Granola to snack on later, plus Charred Broccoli with Poached and Crispy Miso Sweet Potatoes for lunch. Delish! 5/5

Thanks to the The Experiment and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are fully mine.

There are some really great recipes in this book! I have been trying to make eating healthier less painful and I now have a lot of new recipes to try. The breakfast items really stood out for me, since I could eat breakfast foods all day long if I let myself. The Harmony Bowl and Smoothie Bowl are top on my list, along with the Tahini Banana Bee Toast. Veering away from breakfast, I also want to try the Zuchinni and Spring Pea Machine, Sweet and Sour Green Beans, Midnight Carrots and many more. I love that this book takes fresh ingredients and loads them up with lots of flavor. Eating healthy doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice flavor. Highly recommended.
I received an ARC copy of this book via netgalley in exchange for my honest review.

Katzie Guy-Hamilton is both a pasty chef and a health coach and her approach to eating is to eat clean...most of the time.  And to recognize that there are times when you want a treat and that is ok.  She provides recipes for both clean, healthy, wholesome plant-based meals and tasty treats that still honor your body's need for nutrition.

I love Katzie Guy-Hamilton's approach because I think it's realistic.  I think eating whole food, plant based meals is important to get the vitamins, minerals and protein our bodies need.  But I think we all crave sweets once in a while and having some good recipes for fairly healthy sweets is imperative when those cravings hit.

My daughters and I tried the Cinnamon Carrot Lemonade and found it to be super delicious and refreshing!  I was also really excited to have an actual recipe for Gold Milk because I love ordering it in cafès but I had no idea how to make it.  Also, I am excited for a chai latte that uses rooibos instead of black tea since I don't do much caffeine!

The granola recipe looks amazing--the ingredients are on my grocery list!  And I am buying apple cider for the overnight oats!  I have made overnight oats many times with almond milk, but never thought to add apple cider and I can not wait to try it!!

There are recipes for things like sumac and gigante beans--which I have never heard of and don't know where to buy, which is kind of a turn off with cookbooks for me.  But I am excited to try both the Gentle Lentils and the Blistered Miso Sweet Potatoes.

The recipes for treats all look amazing!  I have been trying to eat vegan desserts lately and all of the recipes contain eggs and dairy, but I did earmark a couple for my daughters to try and they look delicious!

Some days good enough is good enough, and some days clean enough is clean enough. I like books like this that challenge you a touch but aren't too preachy. A good selection of recipes to choose from too.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from The Experiment for my unbiased opinion of the book. I loved the book dedication it made my heart smile. The book is well thought out and laid out. I appreciated the glossary of terms in the front instead of the back and the notes after each recipe for tips, tricks, workarounds. I tried charred pumpkin seed broccolini, midnight carrots, velvet beet, fig newtons, and soft chocolate tart all memorable! I can't wait to try all the rest of the recipes. This a great reference book to start the process of clean eating and getting away from all that processed junk that will clog your body and brain!

With beautiful pictures and easy-to-follow instructions for each recipe, I am excited to test - and share - many of the recipes provided in Clean Enough. I also really appreciated the introduction to the book, and to each section; Clean and Enough. This book is accessible to most, and encourages a whole food outlook to your diet.

A gorgeous cookbook with delicious recipes and stunning photographs! All recipes are vegetarian and rich in plant-based superfoods. Pick up this book if you are looking to feel better and have more energy or if you are merely looking for new recipes and meal ideas. I can't wait to make some of the salads, soups and decadent desserts!

Thank you, The Experiment and NetGalley for a digital advance reader copy!

French Culinary Institute trained pastry chef Katzie Guy-Hamilton has taken her years of experience in the food industry and created a new cookbook which elevates healthy food from the boring and mundane to unique and excitingly delectable treats. She covers the basics of eating clean and the usual array of healthy items that should line your pantry shelves. Then she takes those ingredients and flips them around creating new twists to old recipes. Each recipe is easy to follow and includes a note containing alterations or additions that can be made. The pictures are beautiful and the desserts are new and appetizing.
