100 Best Gluten-Free Recipes for Your Vegan Kitchen

For a great all-rounder, Kelly E. Keough, an inspirational healthy-cooking TV chef in the U.S., has written a cookery book bursting with nutrient dense, allergy-free recipes all with an exotic twist. The So Sassy Soba Salad with Brazil Nut Pesto is a cinch to make and inventive; toasted nori sheets add a tasty asian flare to the common pesto and nutty buckwheat noodles are used instead of wheat. Recipes for smoothies, soups, salads, entrees and desserts are designed to heal the body; refined sugars are replaced with low glycemic sweeteners and tofu, avocados and coconuts are used as healthy substitutes for dairy-based fats. A good portion of recipes use living foods (raw) but not all require pre-soaking or a dehydrator. The Green Goddess Soup is a simple blended Mediterranean-style soup of fresh spinach, celery, olives and spices and tastes as divine as it sounds.
