4.5 magically beautiful stars to Unicorn Food! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️.5 🦄 🌈

So unicorn food is a thing?! Yes, yes it is! And my inner 80s child is thrilled to say so! So what is it? It’s food that’s beyond colorful, and as nutritious and delicious as it is visually-appealing. All of the recipes in the book Unicorn Food happen to be plant-based.

The appearance of the cookbook is stunning. It looks as if Lisa Frank has designed every page. There’s an Art Deco, bright, sometimes neon, color scheme to it. The only reason I took away half of a star is because I wished for more over-the-top, vibrant recipe photos. The ones included are absolutely enchanting.

What have I made so far and what appeals to me recipe-wise? I’ve made the Drunken Chickpea Spaghetti. If you follow my reviews, you know how I feel about chickpeas. 😉 They seem to make an appearance in every review, and I eat them almost every day! This pasta dish had a lovely red wine sauce, and we adored it! Also, the Black Honey Tahini is out-of-this-world delicious. I already am a fan of tahini, but I’d never made my own. Totally worth it and easy to do in my Vitamix. Coming soon, I’ll be making the Crispy Coconut Lime Lentils (lentils are only second to chickpeas in my world, and crispy ones?!), Oil and Vinegar Broccoli, Spiralized Zucchini with Basil, Mint, and Toasted Walnuts (any excuse to use my spiralizer!), Chamomile Milk Tea Pudding with Pistachios, and last, I simply must make the Lisa Frank Mountain Cake with brilliantly colored layers! I wish I could attach a pic of this from the book!

Overall, this is a fun, inspiring, creative cookbook with uncomplicated recipes, and an added perk is the stunning presentation of the food!

Thanks to Kat Odell, Workman Publishing, and Netgalley, for the copy to review.
