Nourishing Meals

Nourishing Meal

This book was sent to me for an honest review and I honestly love cookbooks. I love to be adventurous in the kitchen and try new thing. Here is what I thought about the book:

The things that I don't like about the book is that there are very few pictures ! I love pictures that come with the recipe so that I know what I'm making and we eat with our eyes before our months, so having pictures would really attract visual people like me. Also, there's not much color to the book. Everything looks kind of like a textbook.

Other than that, what I liked about this book is that there are SO MANY recipes. It is insane! In addition to that, there are various cuisine too! There's Mexican, Chinese, Korean, anything, you name it! The recipes are also unique and very creative. You will sure to find something you want.

This cookbook is not 100% vegan. The front cover states that it's Dairy-free, Gluten-free, and Soy-free. The title is Nourishing Meals and I would say 70% of the book is vegan. So looking at it from the bright side, it's slowly introducing people that are not vegan to eating more vegan meals. The recipes are super easy and the book also states the importance of these foods for our body. It's a nice stepping stone for people to be vegan, that is for sure.

Overall, I like the book as an old fashion cookbook. Though I would like more pictures, the quality of the recipes cannot be ignored.

Mango Fig Bar - Nature's Bakery

 Mango Fig Bar - Nature's Bakery

The crust is hands down my favorite part of the bar. It's so thick, buttery, and baked on the outside. Heaven !

The jam doesn't really taste like mango but more like a tropical jam. There has a hint of pineapple taste to it too.

I got to say, my favorite fig bar from Nature's Bakery has to be the original fig, strawberry, apple cinnamon, and this one.

Raspberry Fig Bar- Nature's Bakery

Raspberry Fig Bar

There's a very settle berry flavor, but I'm not sure if it's raspberry. The jam doesn't have a very strong flavor to it, it's very soft and dissolves in your mouth so you have to pay attention to really taste the flavor.

I love the crust. It's thick. It's dark brown which mean it's baked so well. It's just heavenly.

Strawberry Fig Bar - Nature's Bakery

 Strawberry Fig Bar - Nature's Bakery

This bar has a thinner crust than the usual ones and a very rich strawberry jam filling. Brings me all the way back to childhood.

Weirdly, it tasted like donuts with perfectly baked crust, filled with jam.

You know what? I would love to add peanut butter on top of it. oh mann what have I got myself into?
It was divine !

Peach Apricot Fig Bar- Nature's Bakery

Peach Apricot Fig Bar- Nature's Bakery

I don't know how they make the crust so buttery good. It is very thick, just how I like it. If you are one of those people who loves the crust of a pie more than the filling, than this is the bomb. It reminds me of baked pie crust. Yummmm !

I don't really taste anything in the jam. It just tastes like jam but not apricot or peaches. The jam wasn't overpoweringly sweet which I love and it has the perfect balance between crust and jam. 

Unlike the others, the jam doesn't taste too acidic. Instead it's very smooth and soft. I have no idea those two could be used to describe taste but it does work for this!

Overall, it was very pleasant and I would definitely have more !

Blueberry Fig Bar- Nature Bakery

 Blueberry Fig Bar- Nature Bakery

Perfectly firm crust with juicy jam filling. 

You know when you were a kid you used to hate the strawberry cough medicine but would drink the whole bottle of the blueberry grape ones? Yeah, the jam kind of reminded me of that. I know that sounds weird but I am a weird kid.

The crust is thicker than the others that I've tried. The jam hits you with a strong acid taste then leaves with a very soft aftertaste of blueberry. It was alright but not my favorite so far.

Original Fig bar- Natural Bakery

 Original Fig Bar- Natural Bakery

Simple yet delicious. I totally am addicted to these bars now. They are so delicious and so simple. Like how is something like this can be healthy and vegan? The crust is so buttery good and the jam inside is sweet and juicy. Seriously guys.

This bar has a harder, grainier crust but totally in a good way. It's firmer and not too crumbly.

It also has a light and smooth jam in the middle. Usually, I'll make a pretty big feast for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with complex ingredients and cooking stuff but for the weekend, I just want to have a chill and relax so this got my dinner sorted! Nothing satisfies me more than these bars. Simple, easy, and quick. (and obviously I had like 3 package of these.)

It's very original and I like that a lot.

Apple Cinnamon Fig Bar- Nature Bakery

Apple Cinnamon Fig Bar- Nature Bakery

Apple pie in Spring? Sign me up !

It has a strong apple flavor, unbelievably buttery crust, and a hint of cinnamon to balance out the sweetness.

Remember after thanksgiving when you have left over apple pie on the counter the next day and you're too lazy to reheat them so you just eat them at room temperature? Well, this tasted just like it. It was beautiful. Not the exact adjective to describe food but it's heaven in your mouth guys. It brings back Fall and November. It brings back the warm chilly breeze of leaves falling onto the ground and the sound of crunched leaves.

The crust was a little buttery in this one. I don't know why, I'm pretty sure they are the same ingredients as the rest. (It's vegan so it's not actual butter btw.)

The jam inside was on POINT! not too sweet, not too cinnamon-ie. Just right. It has the texture of apple pie with a semi hard crust and a juicy filling. Oh man! Guy! you have to try !
