Are there pictures in this book? I need pictures. I've been trying to fing vegetarian/vegan meal ideas but a lot of recipes I have found are heavy on the soy and fake meats. I need ways to eat more veggies and less of everything else plain and simple.
No, I purchased the hard cover. Sadly, there are no pictures. I'm a visual person as well but this book only has a few hand drawn illustrations.
There are recipes in the book that include Tofu but mostly it focuses on whole foods which was a huge influence on why I bought the book.
As for putting "Cauliflower in the search box"...I created an Excel Spreadsheet with all the recipe titles and variations/substitutions listed that we may like. That's how I search for things. I skipped all the recipes with "weird" ingredients, hard to find ingredients and things like Tofu (
). The database I created is full of "every day" ingredients and things we're likely to eat. I ended up with 992 "base" recipes out of over 2,000 and that still doesn't include all the variations...if that makes sense.
If you get the book I'd be happy to email you my spreadsheet but if you don't have the book it wouldn't make any sense. I didn't record the actual recipes. Just the page number, recipe title and all the different vegetables that could be used in the recipe.
