First, the formal:
The book is written in English, which I think, however, is not a problem. The quantities are given in American measurements (ie cups etc), which is no problem for me because I have American 'measurement cups'. In brackets are also found ml specifications that are in liquids helpful, but at the things that we actually specify in grams, a little odd (the umrechnende person knows not appear that there are also grams, etc.). I think it's more funny than annoying. But who does not have American Cup, will have to convert!
The book, in addition to introduction, index and Co. the following chapters:
1) My Natural Foods Pantry with information on all the important foods that are used in the recipes. It is divided into the following sub-chapters: Whole Grains & Flours, Non-dairy Mily, Yoghurt & Cheese, Sweeteners, Fats / Oils, Salt, Herbs & Spices, Vegetable Broth / Bouillon Powder, Nuts / Seeds, Beans & Legumes, Soy Products, Chocolate, Other, Acids
I find this chapter really very helpful, such as the differences between different types of flour, various sweeteners (alos eg dates, maple syrup, various sugars) or various oils are tells you how with tips on where and when to use it. So suggests the book is not only to cook the recipes, but also for continuing / re-developing.
2) My Favorite Kitchen Tools & Equipment provides a brief Erkärung which Cooking utensils are particularly helpful in the recipes - do not be intimidated here! I have very few of the specified matters and yet has had no trouble! A good blender does most also.
Then the chapters follow the actual recipes:
3) Breakfast
4) Smoothies, Juice & Tea
5) Appetiters
6) Salads
7) Soup
8) Entrées
9) Sides
10) Power Snacks
11) Desserts
And finally, there are two useful chapter again:
12) Homemade Staples: Here Rezpte find basic ingredients or components of the recipes. Thus, DECLARE about how to make almond flour, Kokusnussahne, Cashewsahne or different butters. This is particularly important for German readers, since there are many of these foods in Germany either impossible or very expensive to buy. Do it yourself, however - as you can see in these recipes - no problem!
13) Basic Cooking chart: Here there are tips how to cook various staple foods such as rice, lentils, quinoa, etc. For experienced cooks not so important for cooking beginners but certainly helpful.
I've cooked three recipes from this book (Empowered Noodle Bowl with Orange-Maple Miso, Immunity-Boosting Tomato Sauce with Mushrooms and Creamy Vegetable Curry) and all are beautifully done and tasted very good.
The ingredients used are certainly not all just get in the supermarket (eg Chiaseeds or quinoa). In a well-stocked health food store or organic market (for example, Alnatura) and in Asiamarkt but I have been able to buy everything you need. Very useful, I find that in all recipes this is when they / are gluten / soy / sugar / grain oil-free and very often alternatives are given to make, for example, a recipe with gluten, gluten free. The photos are beautiful - as you know it from Angela Liddons blog. The accompanying texts are charming and you can tell how much effort and love has put Angela Liddon in this book.
The only teeny criticism: I would have liked that the book is a hardcover book, because it seems a bit unstable and like to fall back on. To the price but that is justifiable and therefore there is no star deduction for it.
From me there is a 100% buy recommendation!
