I

 was eagerly awaiting this new Food52 cookbook. I own all of their other ones and have loved each and every page. This cookbook is no exception. It has beautiful pictures and thick pages. It is a pleasure to thumb through and the recipes look healthy and easy to make. Want a Five Minute No-Bake Granola Bar? Or the Perfect Pumpkin Pie for a traditional Thanksgiving meal? Gena has you covered. There are simple recipes like Roasted Ratatouille with chickpeas and most complex meals like a Carrot and Fennel Pot Pie. Whereas the Jamaican Jerk Chili with Quinoa and Kidney Beans is a fun twist on chili. Unlike Gena's first cookbook, there is no particular focus on raw foods and the recipes seem a bit more grown up, although I do think my kids would like the Butternut Mac and Cheese recipe and Lentil Sloppy Joes.  Her barbecue sauce is delicious and I really liked the panzanella salad (the fried capers are a wonderful addition!).Overall this cookbook is a pleasant solid vegan cookbook and one that is definitely worth adding to your collection. I received a free copy of this cookbook in exchange for my honest review from Blogging for books. Get a copy for yourself here: http://amzn.to/1MUsoeR
