NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive cookbook for using a spiralizer: the kitchen gadget that turns vegetables and fruits into imaginative, low-carb dishes.
 
On her wildly popular blog,
Inspiralized, Ali Maffucci is revolutionizing healthy eating. Whether you’re low-carb, gluten-free, Paleo, or raw, you don’t have to give up the foods you love. Inspiralized shows you how to transform more than 20 vegetables and fruits into delicious meals that look and taste just like your favorite indulgent originals. Zucchini turns into pesto spaghetti; jicama becomes shoestring fries; sweet potatoes lay the foundation for fried rice; plantains transform into “tortillas” for huevos rancheros.

Ali’s recipes for breakfast, snacks, appetizers, sandwiches, soups, salads, casseroles, rices, pastas, and even desserts are easy to follow, hard to mess up, healthful, and completely fresh and flavorful. Best of all, she tells you how to customize them for whatever vegetables you have on hand and whatever your personal goal may be—losing weight, following a healthier lifestyle, or simply making easy meals at home.

Here, too, are tons of technical tips and tricks; nutritional information for each dish and every vegetable you can possibly spiralize; and advice for spiralizing whether you’re feeding just yourself, your family, or even a crowd. So bring on a hearty appetite and a sense of adventure—you’re ready to make the most of this secret weapon for healthy cooking.

Eat Your Veggies!!!!
5 Stars
Eat Your Veggies!!!!
I'm giving this book 5-stars alone based on all the helpful information inside this book. Like how to get darn near perfect spirals! I have been making 'Zoodles' (zucchini noodles) since I gave up pasta over a year ago but always ended up with lots of 'crescent moon' shapes. I rarely do anymore! Although, those little 'moons' taught me how sweet and yummy a raw piece of zucchini could taste...so when I do get a few of those, I just toss them in a salad for extra crunch! And all this time I thought I didn't like Zucchini! I stand corrected! But it isn't just about Zucchini...it's about all kinds of Veggies and making healthier choices!I've replaced various 'spiralized noodles' in my own recipes that once contained pasta & everyone loves them! The best part is that (1) Veggies are better for you (2) You don't have that "Ugh! I ate ALL the pasta on my plate & I can't move!" feeling (3) "OH THE GUILT!" (4) If you have little ones that you want to eat their veggies without a battle, this is a fun way to get them to LOVE them - they could even help make them! I even give raw spiralized veggies to my pooches! I should have bought into a Spriralizing company because so many of my friends have bought them after sharing a spriralized meal with me!Quick Note...I keep kitchen scissors nearby when I make my Zoodles and cut them into manageable pieces. This way you still have the satisfaction of twirling them as you would actual pasta, but it doesn't go on for days! ;)If you know someone who is Vegan or Vegetarian or interested in becoming one, this would be a great book to give as a gift as well as to have on hand to make tasty delights that not only they will love, but everyone else will as well!I've attached a photo of my Clams Vongole with Zoodles. I added chopped parsley over the top, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese and a dash of dried red peppers & Ohhhh La La...YUMMY! When your friends and family ask if your making any 'Tasty Zoodles' when you invite them over...you know you're doing it right! This also goes for when your kiddos eat what's on their plate instead of dismissing their veggies as "boring"! Make eating fun again while keeping it healthy!

Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2016
Truly amazing book! I never write product reviewes, but I have to write this one because I was absolutely "inspiralized!"
I'm not Italian, but I'm a 40 year old woman who loves pasta and bread, and you don't have to be a genius to know what pasta and all grains in general do to your body, especially for someone like me who doesn't have time to excersize regularly. Also, I'm an average cook, and have limited time on my hands. However, I do love vegetables of all kinds, shapes, colors, and sizes, and I love trying new recepies. I also like to look good in my clothes and maintain my weight, minus a few pounds ( in an ideal world) without sticking to any particular boring and expensive diet plan. So I wanted to give spirilizing method a try after reading about it in one of my cooking magazines. After all, spiralized veggies look so cute!!!! So, of course I needed a cook book to help me with my cooking adventure. After researching on Amazon, "Inspirilized... " by Ali Maffucci caught my eye, and I'm so glad I made that choice. I got it all in one delivery, and ran to local Publix to get some zucchini just to play with it a little bit. And I don't want to lie, but I made the most delicious creamy mushroom zucchini noodle soup ever by using my own recepie and cooking tips from the book. And after I started reading deeply into the book, I just couldn't put it down. It was like Ali made all the "homework" for me, and all I have to do is just to put it together and not to be afraid to try. It's so easy to read, so personable, funny, witty, and it's written so well, and it also gives you a feeling like an old friend sharing some recepies with you and encouraging you to try something different and refreshing for your own health benefits. And she doesn't stick to one diet, instead, she mixes things up for everyone's taste, and also gives you plenty of choices to substitute ingredients to your liking. No wonder it's a bestseller! I used a few recepies already (in 5 days since I had the book), and have no intention to slow down. My husband and I loved it, kids did too, and we all felt full but not heavy after eating our meals. I also want to try all the veggies Ali suggested in her book that are "spiralizable", but I used to avoid before because they looked ugly or weird, and now it's my chance to do it because I feel brave. After I realized that I can incorporate my own recepies using her suggestions and methods, I got really excited and can't wait till my next cooking adventure. Now I can honestly say that my cooking possibilities are unlimited, and hello bikini bathing suit without working my buns off on a treadmill.
I'm so forever grateful for this wonderful cooking masterpiece.
Thank you, Ali, you are like my sister I've never had, good luck to you, and I can't wait until you'll write another one to inspirilize me even more!
Highly recommend it to all veggie lovers and adventurous cooks out there!

I have the Kindle edition, and have just ordered two paperback copies, one for a gift. I use this all of the time. I feel better since I've started spiralizing and Ali's book is my go-to. I like the recipes and her creativity a lot. There are some veggies that I can't have, such as potatoes, beets, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, (and it's nothing to do with carbohydrates), but she almost always has a list of successful veggies that you can use instead, such as swapping rutabagas for potatoes, butternut squash for sweet potatoes. There are also spices that I can't have, such as chili powder and curry powder, but over the years, I've grown adept at swapping them for things I can have, or just adapting the recipe, and although it won't be quite the same, it generally turns out to be quite edible.

I've never been a huge fan of rice, and I really enjoyed her Butternut Risotto I made last night. Instead of chicken broth, I used the last of my Pace and a bit of water, and served it with homemade refried beans on the side. It turned out very well. It was fast, easy, and I didn't have to stand at the stove and stir for 20 minutes. That recipe is now in my rotation.

I am even trying some "new" veggies. I stumbled across some Kalettes the other day, just after I had read her "Spicy Parmesan-Garlic Zucchini Pasta with Sausage and Kalettes" (on her Inspiralized.com website), and decided to try it. It turned out very well, and looks like its' picture. I am looking forward to trying kohlrabi, which my mother would never cook, even though the Savoy Cabbage wasn't so successful. It does make a good wrap for a burrito, but I am not all that chuffed about the taste of it.

She gives you a good variety of recipes for all kinds of diets-if you are low-carb, vegetarian, or vegan, there are always swaps that you can make, or things that you can just leave out. Her instructions are generally clear, and she also has videos you can watch either at her website or on YouTube that show you how to clean her spiralizer (I don't have hers, I have the Paderno Pro 4-blade), or how to spiralize this or that vegetable. It's written in a friendly, informative, and uplifting style and the pictures are very nice and appetizing, too.

I have been making zucchini spaghetti with a vegetable peeler for quite some time, and I think it turns out much better with the spiralizer, especially if you wrap it in paper towels, put it in a zip loc, stash it in the fridge, and let it hang out there until you need it. It's a lot easier to spiralize veggies all at one time, and use them over the next couple of days, and Ali gives you information on how to do this, or even freeze them.

Although I can't make everything in it as is and across the board, I can highly recommend this cookbook. It's been very good for the things I can make, and is always good as a springboard for ideas.

This is my first digital (Kindle) format cookbook purchase. I was a bit hesitant, since I like to browse cookbooks for pleasure, but it has turned out to be a great idea! I already keep many of my newer recipes on my laptop anyway, and I carry it into the kitchen to cook. And, even better, now when I am at the grocery, I have access to the recipes right on the Kindle app on my iPhone! No more calling home to have the recipe's ingredients read to me when I didn't bring my grocery list.

I've had "Inspiralized" and my Paderno Spiralizer (Amazon) for about a week now and have tried four recipes, with more planned. I liked that I saw numerous recipes, first time through the book that I wanted to try. So far, we have liked most; one was too spicy, one too much prep work, and several took [me] longer prep time than the recipe estimate, but maybe that's just me. I am impressed with the wide variety of cuisines and flavors represented in this book as well as the variety of veggies used.

I don't personally care for the newer buzz words "Paleo" and "clean" eating -- I prefer to call it healthy eating. I am glad to be able to serve my family more veggies, which are sometimes not so well-received, but these recipes present veggies sort of "incognito", and none have remained on the plate!

Definitely recommend this cookbook!

5.0 out of 5 stars Uno de los mejores recetarios para los spiralizer
Reviewed in Mexico on June 3, 2018
Me encanta este recetario. No son las típicas recetas insulsas donde usan puros vegetales sin sazonar para conseguir una receta 100% natural, pero 0% sabrosa. Este recetario combina sabor y salud, utilizando ingredientes de origen vegetal como base y centro del platillo y agregando todas las salsas y condimentos a los que estamos acostumbrados y que nos gustan, tratándolos de hacer un poquito más saludables. La introducción es buena y la información muy ampliada.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zoodels - Nudeln auf Gemüsebasis
Reviewed in Germany on November 10, 2019
Dieses Buch ist einfach phänomenal.
Wie der Name schon sagt, geht es hier um Gemüserezepte, die spiralisiert (zu Spiralen geschnitten) verarbeitet werden.
Das Gemüse wird mit Hilfe eines Spiralschneiders zu Nudeln unterschiedlicher Größe gedreht verarbeitet.
Das Buch ist sehr ausführlich beschrieben und enthält Rezepte vom delikaten und herzhaften Gerichten bis zu traumhaft schmeckenden Süßspeisen. Ein kulinarischer Hochgenuss!
Es ist ein kostbares Buch für mich geworden, da es unterschiedliche Rezepte (aus aller Welt) enthält und detaillierte Zubereitungszeiten und Nährwertangaben angibt.
Ich bin einfach nur noch begeistert und habe mir deswegen auch das zweite Buch von Ali Maffucci gekauft (Inspiralize Everything).
Ich wünsche jedem, der die Rezepte ausprobiert viel Freude und Spass. Es ist eine lohnende Investition, sich ein Spiraldreher und dieses Buch zuzulegen.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE resource for spiralizing!
Reviewed in Canada on March 5, 2015
Inspiralized is THE resource for spiralizing! I am a huge fan of Ali's work (the founder of Inspiralized), I first fell in love with her blog (inspiralized.com) about a year and a half ago, she always has the best recipes (daily!!) for spiralizing. Recently she began creating videos on her youtube channel, and now has released her first cookbook.

The cookbook is BEAUTIFUL, and filled with tons of recipes. This book is perfect for someone who is just getting into spiralizing or a seasoned pro (like me) and is just looking for a larger repertoire of recipes! She includes photos, nutritional information and easy to follow instructions for each recipe. From breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and dessert, Ali and Inspiralized has you covered!

I would highly recommend this cookbook!!
