Wow! This book has some of the greatest recipes ever! We tried so many of them and enjoyed them all. They were easy to do. The recipes were easy to follow, with great pictures as well. The recipes were for many different kinds of meals, plus gave hints to making your own. I highly recommend this book!

Buddha bowls are so in now and they’re very easy to make not to mention delicious. The instructions in this cookbook are simple and easy to follow.

The recipes in this book are very simple to understand and are even yummier to eat. I wish there were a few more pictures of the recipes. Highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who enjoys Buddha bowls or just wants to add a few new recipes to their everyday life.

I was very excited to receive an advance copy of the recipe book Buddha Bowls by Kelli Foster. I am wanting to eat healthier and this book was a great inspiration and quite informative. The recipes were clear and concise and the images were quite enticing. Though I haven´t tested any of the recipes yet, I look forward in the coming months.

Not only are the Buddha bowls featured in this book nutritious, they are so colorful and a delight to recreate.

I love meals in a bowl--I think everyone does--and this book has so many creative options to create big, hearty, healthy bowls. The directions are easy to follow. The only criticism I would have is that the photography did not appeal to my taste, but that hardly matters and doesn't affect the outcome of great food.

Someone is going to enjoy these recipes. Just not me. I guess I am a plate and knife and fork person, although the idea of eating from a bowl with a spoon appeals to a side of me...Just not these food combinations.... I am sure the 30 and under crowd, and those trendy 40 somethings will enjoy them.
All told though, recipes seem pretty straight forward and simple. And photos are vibrant.

I was totally intrigued by the idea of buddha bowls I've seen all over Instagram. However, I wasn't sure about going about creating them. This book has insisted me on creating my own and giving me great ideas!

I absolutely loved this cookbook and have been incorporating the meals and dressing into my work lunch lineup,

I love the idea of this. I love bowl food after all
However, when I looked at this closely, it wasn't very impressive
I didn't like the fact that there were no options to make your sauces from scratch for example. For me personally, it was generally too basic and just another cookbook that is riding a food trend .

Thank you Quatro and Netgalley for this ARC.

I am a big fan of bowl food and was happy to be given the opportunity to read this book. I liked the way the book was set out into different types of bowl meals and also the explanation for how to cook different grains and make different sauces.

I have enjoyed making some of the breakfast, lunch and quinoa bowls with much satisfaction.

I tried the recipes. Some of them became frequent guests at our table. I would have loved more photos.

Buddha Bowls are very on trend right now, and something that I've been meal prepping for the past 6-8 months. A healthy alternative for work lunches, or a good filling meal after an extra intense workout, buddha bowls are always a great choice. However, before reading the book I felt like I was getting sick of doing the same old thing over and over again. This book has filled my mind with so many wonderful combinations, and I can't wait to try them all out. My favourite thing about it would have to be all the sauce recipes the author included. I won't be stuck with bland store bought sauce again. I will definitely be looking to get a physical copy of this book for my kitchen!

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for providing me with a digital copy of this book and exchange for an honest review. I really appreciate it.

I have been wanting a recipe book that included Buddha bowls for a while now. Foster’s is the first one I have bought. The recipes included among its pages are simple and delicious. I want to thank NetGalley for giving me a copy in exchange for an honest review, you have opened a door to healthy alternatives that are easy to prepare.

100 fantastic recipes.
I discovered Buddha bowls only about a year ago, when the cafe where we held our monthly book discussion added them to their menu. I was intrigued and gave them a go. Wow, it was like a salad flavour explosion!

So I was thrilled to find this well presented recipe book, full of inspiration to build a really healthy meal. The recipes are straight forward and easy to follow and I loved the extra suggestions, like cooking rice in tea for a flavour boost, or keeping herb off-cuts in the freezer to add to noodles while cooking.

The introduction succinctly describes Buddha bowls and runs through the type of foods they contain; how they are layered and an explanation of sauces and toppings.
There is also a useful chart giving guide-line cooking times and water quantities for most of the grains and noodles you might need to employ for your base.layer.

There are 13 sauce recipes, alongside suggestions for recipes in which these sauces are used - useful if you want to make a sauce your chosen starting point. I particularly recommend the peanut sauce but I'm itching to try the roasted red pepper sauce too.
Next come 18 breakfast bowl recipes, from Maple-Vanilla Overnight Oat Bowls (Pg 34) to Spinach and Mushroom Pesto breakfast Bowls (Pg 44). There are even some slow cooker recipes for those who like a ready-cooked hot breakfast.
Then there are 16 fish and seafood recipes, which I skimmed over as I'm vegetarian, ditto the 15 chicken and turkey bowls and the 14 beef and lamb bowls. I can come back to these at a later date, as I'm sure I can use ideas and adjust recipes from this section too.
I skipped to the 29 vegetarian recipes, which were so hard to choose between - should I make Thai Coconut Curry Bowls (Pg 131 ), Turmeric-roasted Vegetable Bowls (Pg 153 ), or Butternut Squash and Kale Bowls (Pg 126). No, but wait, what about Lentil and Roasted Tomatillo Bowls (Pg 127)?? I am spoiled for choice!
Finally, if you still have space, there are 10 fruit bowl recipes, for desert.

Plenty of vegan recipes or gluten-free options are provided, and suggestions as to how other recipes can be adapted for dietary restrictions.
My one disappointment with this fabulous book is that not all the recipes are illustrated. This is actually quite a big minus and should have resulted in me giving it 4 stars, but overall, I was so impressed by the variety here that I decided to overlook this huge omission and go with a 5 star rating.

Up until now I've been sourcing my Buddha bowl recipes from the internet, but from now in, this will be my go-to collection. I can't imagine I'll need anything else.

I haven't made any of the recipes yet, but they certainly look and sound great. For someone who can already cook, this book isn't going to change your life – a buddha bowl is basically some protein, some grains, some veggies and a sauce/broth, and I imagine good cooks can just make that stuff up. But for someone like me (a reluctant, lazy and unadventurous cook, but a voracious and trying-to-be-healthier eater), it's pretty useful. Not only does it make me want to cook the things in the book, it also makes me want to make up my own buddha bowls with things I already have in the fridge. Will report back when I've made some of the recipes.

I've been looking for a cookbook like Buddha Bowls by Kelli Foster for a long time. I needed recipes with pictures, easy instructions, fairly easy ingredients to obtain, and fairly quick and painless preparation. Buddha Bowls has it all and then some. Every time I fix a meal from this cookbook I am asked for the recipe. Out of all the cookbooks I own and have cooked from this cookbook has had the most compliments. Most of the dressings are now my go-to dressings, and whenever I need a power lunch or a meal with perfect presentation and taste--Buddha Bowls by Kelli Foster is my go-to cookbook.
I received a copy of this book through NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review.

Buddha Bowls are my weeknight cooking style of preference. The combination of my weekly CSA, some pantry essentials, and this new cookbook from Kelli Foster are a magic combination. The book is very appealing, illustrated with some pretty ceramic bowls.

The grain selections aren’t exactly new to me, but I don’t have millet or or kasha buckwheat, I plan to add them to my store (suitably stored in the freezer so they don’t age too fast.) The useful grain cooking time chart on page 13 will go up on my refrigerator.

I tried out several recipes from the book over the last couple of weeks. Scrambled Chickpea Breakfast Bowl was a big hit for Sunday night dinner, although I swapped out the cauliflower for brown rice. Midweek was the Chicken Kofta Bowl, made with beef instead of chicken since thats what I had, and tahini sauce instead of yogurt sauce. But thats the beauty of this book. Each of the 100 recipes is a jumping off point that you can use to suit your tastes and your refrigerator contents!

I’m looking forward to some fresh ideas for smoked salmon, including the Crispy Potato and Smoked Salmon Power Bowl. and the Lentil and Smoked Salmon Niçoise Bowls.

All in all, I found this an inspirational and delicious cookbook.

A wide-ranging approach to the latest comfort food, Buddha Bowls. Breakfast, fish, poultry, vegetarian dessert, each is thoroughly covered. As well as an array of sauces. Favorites include: light and creamy goat cheese sauce, maple vanilla overnight oats, green curry chicken quinoa bowl and pumpkin pie cheesecake bowl. Wow!

Great little booklet of healthy recipes. Wished that it came with the calorie breakdown. The recipes as easy to follow and utilizes easy to find ingredients. I have been shopping my farmers market this summer and have been able to create several of the recipes with my market finds.

Its also allowed me to take a break from heavier cooking and portion enough for a home meal and work lunch.
