cookbook review….a guilty pleasure for sure
April 24, 2012 § 4 Comments
I love checking out cookbooks from the library. Especially the big, hardcover, beautiful ones that are typically a bajillion dollars to buy.
I checked this out a couple weeks ago:
I love to hate Gwyneth…whenever I’m feeling a little down, I always jump over to GOOP for a chuckle. However, I can’t deny that she seems to infiltrate a lot of my interests: cooking, yoga, etc.
Well–I’m afraid to admit it, but I really liked this cookbook! Beautiful photos, pretty easy/delicious recipes, and a wonderful balance of the healthy and the indulgent.
really liked her pantry-stocking section….only encourages my ridiculous grocery shopping obsession.
so, even though I hate to admit it, this is one celebrity cookbook I can get behind. Lots of great vegetarian recipes, nice layout and directions, and nice photos. Bravo Gwyneth!
is there a fried zucchini pasta recipe in there? i saw that one of hers in a magazine and it was fantastic!
YES! HA–that’s so funny because that’s one of the recipes I made out of the book! Too weird!! It was DELICIOUS!
You should check out this celeb cookbook, Miss Dahl’s Voluptuous Delights:
Miss Dahl's Voluptuous Delights: Recipes for Every Season, Mood, and Appetite
This lady is a model! And while it was awhile ago that I read this book, I remember thinking the same thing you thought about Gwyneth– love to hate her, yet so inspired! I recall the food being amazing as well. I love cookbooks! So addicting!
Thanks! Yea, I’m obsessed with cookbooks…on my way to the library right now actually….will look this up!
thanks
