Description
Elettra Wiedemann didn’t set out to be a foodie. At twenty-eight, with a burgeoning global modeling career and a Master’s degree from the London School of Economics, she understood the larger impact of her food choices, and the importance of a more conscious way of life. But whenever she walked into her apartment after a twelve-hour work day, all her ideals about food would collapse. Why did being a foodie mean you have to labor for hours using obscure cooking methods and ingredients? Why did good food always go hand-in-hand with slowing down? Wasn’t there a way to have slow, sustainable, delicious food without the “slow”?
Impatient Foodie bridges the gap between the ideals of the organic, slow food movement and the realities of a busy life. Loaded with shortcuts, pantry lists, and more than one hundred handy and delicious recipes for busy people, this vividly illustrated, easy-to-navigate cookbook shows how to get the most out of your meals in the least amount of time. Organized by ingredient to minimize grocery store trips and maximize seasonality, Impatient Foodie offers easy ways to spin off kale, chicken, fish, berries, and more into multiple meals, and offers home cooks a variety of inspiring vegetarian and vegan options. Unique, friendly, and entertaining, The Impatient Foodie provides the ideal foundation for thoughtful eating in a hectic, time-starved world. With her immensely popular Impatient Foodie blog, her profile at Refinery29, her degree in biomedicine, and her stunning beauty and charm, Elettra Wiedemann is the perfect spokesperson for this reassuring and helpful message.

Lovely colourful recipe book. I love that the recipe book is split into vegetable types with recipes dedicated to each vegetable, fruits and specific foods.

This is a book that does precisely what it sets out to do - it promises tasty recipes for those who may feel a little energy and time-strapped, and does exactly that with a surprisingly rich array that should cater to most tastes. Wiederman does an especially admirable job to make sure that vegetable-centric dishes receive center stage, not only ensuring a hefty variety of dishes for her readers, but a very healthy variety as well. Even better, all the ingredients she calls for can be easily procured by anyone with access to a supermarket (unlike many "foodie" cookbooks that load their recipes with high-end and uncommon items that require several trips around town, possibly a few online purchases, and a dent to the wallet all for the sake of a single dish).
Definitely worth your time to at least sit down and browse through, as you'll probably end up being quite surprised by how many potentially inspiring meal ideas it will toss your way.

I don't own a lot of cookbooks and in this day and age with the internet and blogs and Pinterest I'm sure there are a lot of people like me. But every once in a while I see one that has a recipe that sounds really interesting. And then I turn the page and there is another one. And when I keep turning pages and see all these beautiful photos with these great recipes that I even I could make I'm sold. These are not labor intensive recipes that have weird ingredients that you have never heard of or will never find. And the best part is that you can make them in a fairly small amount of time. If you are tired of ordering fast food, spending way too much money for home delivery meal services I highly recommend you give this book a try.
