I received an arc of this title from NetGalley for an honest review. It is an excellent book for those considering plant-based cooking. Filled with recipes, tools, and other equipment needed for your new lifestyle.

The description should have made it clearer that this was only a sample. As it is, this is not a strong sample. Only two very basic recipes and a pantry list. The rest is just superfluous. If the daughter wanted to photograph food instead of fashion than why is there so little food photography in the first 38 pages?

I was excited for this one, but disappointed to find it was just a sample. I would still be interested in checking out the rest of the book based on the few recipes I saw.

This is a must-have resource! It is full of beautiful photos and recipes. This is one I'll return to again and again. Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the advanced copy of the book.

This book was lovely but nowhere in the description did it say this was only a sample. After a lot of fluff about the authors there were only 2 recipes included. It was a promising beginning but there was not enough here to be able recommend the book if I don't know what the bulk of the recipes were going to include. There isn't even a list of the recipes. Very disappointing.

I’m not really sure how to provide a legitimate review when I only received 38 pages of the book, most of which were photos of the two authors. I hope that the recipes are good, but I can’t provide adequate feedback about those since they were not made available to me!

"The Artful Way to Plant-Based Cooking" by Trudy and Chloé presents an enticing premise—a collection of plant-based recipes inspired by the culinary delights of European travels. However, my experience with the Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) left much to be desired.

While the blurb promises 80 flavorful recipes spanning appetizers, main dishes, and desserts, the ARC provided only a fraction of that. With just 10 recipes included, I couldn't help but feel disappointed and misled by the book's description.

Moreover, a significant portion of the ARC seemed devoted to personal anecdotes and reflections from the mother-and-daughter duo. While these insights into their lives were occasionally interesting, they detracted from the main promise of the book: a diverse collection of plant-based recipes.

The lack of recipes as described in the blurb suggests a potential issue with the ARC version, making it difficult to provide a comprehensive review. It's possible that the final version of the book will include the promised 80 recipes and offer a more balanced blend of personal narrative and culinary content.

Despite these shortcomings, I appreciate the authors' commitment to plant-based cooking and their evident passion for sharing vegan food with others. If the final version of the book delivers on its promise of a robust recipe collection, it has the potential to be a valuable resource for those seeking flavorful, plant-based meal ideas.

In conclusion, while "The Artful Way to Plant-Based Cooking" shows promise, the ARC version fell short of expectations with its limited recipe selection and excessive focus on personal anecdotes. I hope that the final version addresses these issues and fulfills the book's potential as a comprehensive guide to delicious, plant-based cuisine.

The Artful Way to Plant - Based Cooking was more story than recipe. A lovely love letter to embracing a plant based lifestyle but little more than that.

I only got the first 38 pages or so, and most of them were pictures, so it's pretty difficult to base a review off of that. Because it's plant-based my library is very likely to purchase this to keep in line with the growing trend. I, however, don't see myself making any of the recipes I was able to view in this preview.
