I hadn't heard of the Deliciously Ella blog before ordering this, but I'm always on the hunt for good whole-foods, vegan cookbooks, and once the positive reviews of this came in, I decided to order it. It's one of the loveliest cookbooks I've seen!
At the start of the book, Ella shares how she switched to a plant-based diet when she was ill with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome. After reading about how Kris Carr used a plant-based diet to keep her cancer at bay, Ella switched to a gluten-free, plant-based way of eating, and it helped move her into remission.
My copy only arrived yesterday, but I already made the Cinnamon Pecan Granola and the Almond and Chia Energy Bites. Each came together in just over five minutes, and are absolutely delicious. (I've included pics of each one.)
All of the recipes also use easy-to-find ingredients, and they are simple to make. You will want a high-quality blender and food processors, but otherwise you don't need any fancy equipment.
As another reviewer mentioned, the way that the recipes are organized (by Grains, Nuts and Seeds, etc.) makes it a bit harder to find recipes. On the title page for each section, there is a list of recipes, but it would have been nicer if the publisher had created a Table of Contents for the entire book since the types of recipes (breakfasts, snacks, etc.) are all mixed in the main sections.
If you're not vegan, Ella also doesn't try to proselytize or make anyone feel guilty. Instead, she encourages you to try out some of these recipes, and to even make them your own by adding meat or cheese if you prefer them that way. The recipes are so delicious, though, that nourishing your body by eating healthfully will soon become second nature. Since moving to this kind of eating a little over two years ago, I've found that I don't crave overly sugary foods, and can rely on plants for energy and all of my nutritional needs (except for B12, which I take a supplement for).
In addition to this book, I also recommend
The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Over 100 Vegan Recipes to Glow from the Inside Out
and
Chocolate-Covered Katie: Over 80 Delicious Recipes That Are Secretly Good for You
. All three of these books believe in the philosophy that you don't need to count calories, as long as you nourish yourself with healthy foods.
Bon appetit!
UPDATE ON 4-23-14: Last night I made the items in the third photo -- roasted red bell pepper hummus, quinoa tabbouleh salad, and falafel. All three were amazing and easy to make, and I think it was the best falafel I've ever had! This cookbook really is fantastic!
