The Blissful Mouthful Cookbook

I read the book with interest, especially the historical bit, about how the author became a good cook and the tales that fill the book, along with recipes. I would say she is a good cook  I have not had time to try out all the recipes, but I will use them, the ones that appeal, and the combination of ingredients look alright to me.

When life for the entire galaxy and planet has turned on its end, you are continuing to #maskup and #lockdown to be in #COVID19 #socialisolation as the #secondwave is upon us, AND the worst sciatica attack in your life means you MIGHT sleep 3 hours a night,  superspeed readers like me can read 250+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today.

I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.  

From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.

What a lovely cookbook - my husband lived on a diet of potatoes, pasta, rice and white bread before retiring last month and moving back to London and is balking at the foods that I try to feed him now. I sneak in a lot of tofu that he does not know about and told him that if he wants white bread, he can buy it himself...lol.  There are a lot of recipes in here that I can make for myself and possibly entice him with ... he is beyond a picky eater. (I asked him if his mother ever made him eat something he didn't want and she didn't....that explains so much!!!) 
The recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing to myself and other lovers of food out there and many can be adapted for carnivores or diary lovers like me .... "chz" that does not come from an animal is UDDER NONSENSE!

What I especially love about the book is that it uses mostly whole ingredients instead of pre-prepared and packaged foods. I do draw the line at making my own cheese beyond a quickly-made mozzarella, and canning tomatoes but the more "ingredients" you use the better.  My one nephew says that I never have any food in my house, only ingredients --- that is why I cook so much. I also refuse to eat or cook with Frankenfoods such as "chick'n" and its 88 ingredients vs. 🐔chicken🐔 having one!)

As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I simply adore emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube  Millionaires/snowflakes / literally-like-overusers etc. " on Instagram and Twitter... Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲

I enjoyed this book. I liked reading her story and can not wait to try several of recipes I found in here!

I enjoyed this book. I liked reading this ladies story and cant wait to try several of recipes I found in this CookBook.
You can tell say she is a good cook.
I have not had time to try many the recipes, but I will use them, the ones that appeal, and the combination of ingredients sound fruitful. 
I found the personal touch about each specific dish and some interesting facts about it. Unique. 
Thanks NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for the ARC for a review

The Blissful Mouthful Cookbook has easy to follow recipes that taste great. It holds great information on the foundations of the authors lifestyle and how she came to share her food with the world. Even my 3 year old enjoyed some of the recipes and it was easy to incorporate his help into making the food.

There were some amazing recipes in this book especially to help with inflammation.  I am starting on a vegetarian journey (still plexatarian) so always on the look out for user friendly books with recipes that I can adapt for my family but still meet my objectives. 

The start of the book was very informative and set the scene which I really did appreciate. 

I was given an advance copy by the publisher and netgalley but the review is entirely my own.
