Review: Plant You: Scrappy Cooking by Carleigh Bodrug
Plant You: Scrappy Cooking by Carleigh Bodrug (Balance, 2024) My Quick Take: This cookbook is beautifully photographed and informative, full of good ideas! We liked lots of the recipes, but ran into a few missteps with some; however, we had a great dinner party and enjoyed most of the food. *** My latest cookbook collab is with friends Dawn and Dave, who are proving to be trusted cookbook companions on my bookish journey. Along with my spouse Alan, the four of us shared a dinner party cooking from PlantYou: Scrappy Cooking by Carleigh Bodrug . The subtitle is “140+ Plant-Based Zero-Waste Recipes That Are Good for You, Your Wallet, and the Planet.” This idea is enticing, and when Dawn suggested this book, I was all over it. She’d seen the author at a recent vegan event in Vancouver, and had been very impressed. Trish : In a world where there’s so much food waste, Carleigh Bodrug is stepping up in an effort to bring recipes that use those leftover bits in our fridge to make yummy food....
