Thank you Netgalley, Cider Mill Press, and Ayesha Singh for sending me this advanced review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Photos are gorgeous, but unfortunately the photos were not always next to the recipe, which is more difficult to match up the pic with the recipe when reading the ebook version. The blurb made it sound like it was only vegan and vegetarian, but there were recipes with meat in them as well.

Ingredients are simple, and fairly easy to find. The instructions were extremely minimal, and you would need to have some cooking experience to use this book. Most of the recipes were only a few lines long. I can see a very beginner struggling to use this book though.

The recipes were easy to understand, even with the minimal instructions. The flavors were interesting, and I'm looking forward to trying out quite a few of the recipes. There was a great mix of hot and cold bowls. With summer coming up, the cold ones will be perfect for the Oklahoma heat. I also enjoyed that you got a ton of simple recipes for sauces and dips as well.

A lot of the recipes have soy and tofu in them, which is difficult for me with a soy intolerance. It would be very easy to add meat to any of the recipes, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Overall it was a great simple cookbook with a really good variety of tasty bowls to make.
