[Review] Inspiralized: Turn Vegetables into Healthy, Creative, Satisfying Meals

Inspiralized

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.

review

Ever since the "zucchini noodles" became popular, there have been a huge boom over the healthier versions of pastas, lasagnas, and other yummy foods that might not be so good for our waist. But Ali from Inspiralized revolutionized this trend and made it possible to have all that yumminess and still stay on track of weight loss and maintaining the healthy lifestyle. 

Even before the book was released, I was obsessed with her blog. Pinterest, other blog posts, she was everywhere. I was so happy when I found out that she is releasing a full book full of recipes and amazing things that you can do with a simple twist of spiralizer. I just bought a brand new one with lots of fancy additions and so far loving the recipes from the book! I was surprised that there was also a section on desserts but that will definitely satisfy my horrible sweet tooth! 

I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255
