Vegan Buddha Bowls: Easy, Healthy Recipes to Feel Great from the Inside Out Paperback – January 28, 2020

I haven’t made anything from this yet but I was impressed by the variety of recipes, and photography. It makes me look forward to eating healthier again- after the New Year, of course!

Love the recipes in this book. Trying to transition into eating either Vegan or Vegetarian.

The quality of this cookbook is beyond exceptional. Not surprising given author chef Cara's strong experience as a health coach, holistic nutritionist, restaurant chef owner, restaurant menu planning consultant, etc.While biased, I have bought and reviewed dozens of vegan and raw food cookbooks over the years as executive editor of a nutritional medicine and life extension online wellness venture. No other cookbook I have ever seen compares to Vegan Buddha Bowls in quality of recipes, insightful advice or food art photography.Love someone and care about their health? Get them Vegan Buddha Bowls. It's a great gift. Reading through it alone increases one's food IQ and chef skills, substantially if a beginner in plant based meal planning.Vegan Buddha Bowls is hands down a great value and a smart gift for yourself or others. I bought a few extra copies for gifts.Thank you Cara for creating this amazingly fun approachable cookbook anyone can learn from and enjoy. It clearly was a ton of work and effort to create such a beautiful masterpiece.

I'm fairly new to plant based eating. This book has been a huge help and has great recipes that are easy to make and ingredients are easy to find.

I have followed some of Cara's recipes online for some time now and was very excited to learn that she was releasing a cookbook. The recipes are simple yet exciting and delicious, and I love that she gives so many flavor palette options, there is a little bit in there for everyone. The pictures are beautiful as well. However, what I love most is the stories and explanations really provide a sense of who she is as a person and the inspiration behind her food and holistic practice. This cookbook is informative and cultivates a feeling of balance and joy. While I have only made a few recipes so far, I am so excited to dig in further. I highly recommend this cookbook and Cara's work with body wisdom and body-love.

I love this cookbook! After following Cara's Kitchen blog and making many of the recipes from the blog, I'm so excited to have a whole book of good things to make. Some of my favorites are the Humble bowl (so many herbs, so good) and the cauliflower leek soup. I'm testing a few new ones this week!The thing I love most about this cookbook is that all of the recipes are so simple to prepare (I work full time, so having recipes that are fast and delicious is super important to me) and these are mostly plant-based, using tons of veggies.Typically I get all of the ingredients to make a couple of dishes for the week (with leftovers) for under $50, the recipes are nutritious, versatile, and easy on the wallet. If you're looking to expand your vegetarian cooking and looking for simple beautiful recipes I would highly recommend giving this book a try!

The sauces alone in here will change your life. If you're like me and tired of the same old dressings sold at the grocery store, this will breathe new life into your salad game.I am not a vegan at all, but I'm always looking for delicious new ways to incorporate veggies into my diet. This book is perfect for that and the flavors are BOMB. I like that it's written for beginners, because I am definitely more of a novice cook. Yet I was able to recreate many of these recipes with ease. Even though I live in NYC and don't have easy access to a lot of these ingredients, I was still able to make substitutions and make it taste delicious. I also love that the author gives instructions on how to preserve the ingredients for meal prep, so you can eat the dishes throughout the week while preserving freshness. It means I only have to cook once and less food waste!I would recommend this book to anyone.

I was excited to get this and have an awesome go-to source when wanting a new Buddha bowl. Unfortunately, this was a huge let down. Firstly, there’s only one Buddha bowl in this book that’s called Vegan Buddha BOWLS. Then there’s another 9 or 10 other recipes for “bowls”, but they’re really just different veggies thrown together and are not Buddha bowl variations at all. But what really annoyed me was that beyond that the book is just vegan recipes! There’s a section for pastas, soup, smoothies, and side dishes. Like, just because you can put those dishes in a bowl DOESNT MAKE THEM BUDDHA BOWLS.This author had such a great chance to put out an original and useful recipe book with variations on Buddha bowls, and instead really just said copy/paste every other basic vegan recipe book out there.
