Wellness Mama Cookbook Review
Recently, I've been trying to get cooking inspiration from books written by fellow food bloggers. A few weeks ago, I did a review of the Love & Lemons cookbook. These cookbooks have encouraged me to be both creative and intentional in the kitchen.
I bought the Wellness Mama cookbook because I've been secretly following her natural beauty content for a while. I'm kind of a DIY nerd and like the idea of non toxic beauty products. Anyways, I figured that her cookbooks would have the same emphasis on health and well being. She also has a few kids, so she has designed the recipes understanding we don't have ALL the time in the world.
Disclaimer: I bought the book on my own & the review below is totally honest.
Pros
This book is PACKED with recipes. I don't feel like I'm being gypped (gipped? sp?). LOL I had to Urban Dictionary the spelling.
She offers variations of homemade broth and homemade non diary milk. I think these are some of her best recipes.
The recipes are health conscious and I LOVE that.
There's still a dessert section at the end. In fact, the book is organized by lunch, dinner, snacks, etc. It's really easy to sift through.
Cons
The quality of book is not as awesome as other cookbooks. For instance- the front cover is a paper cover. The actual book is baby blue. Not a HUGE deal, but I didn't realize that initially. I just feel like the cover is going to tear from extended use.
Not every recipe has a photo, which is a little bit of a bummer... and I understand why.
Would I recommend? I would definitely recommend for moms or people who don't have a lot of time, but want to cook at home. I wouldn't necessarily cook all the recipes in this book, but I have used a LOT of them.
