Clean Slate Cookbook

Clean Slate Cookbook 

I love cookbooks, but I die for good healthy cookbooks with lots of picture. And this book is a promising good read! I am totally all over for it. The recipes are all simple and easy. They are fast but healthy. What more could you ask for? It's a brilliant book and you can tell the author had put in lots of effort into them. Its nicely organized and the pictures are to die for. Seriously, it was a bad thing to read them at midnight.

There's vegan recipes, there's gluten free ones, and there's pescetarian ones. Ahh, I could go on forever. Its a kind of book that you can trust to just flip to any page and have your dinner ready in just minutes with a  promising fine dine. My favorite would probably be the roasted vegetables with quinoa and baked sweet potatoes with vegetables.

This book also contain lots of healthy eating tips and food to keep you up at the game, staying healthy and fit. It taught me that eating healthy doesn't take much but just determination. Healthy eating is really simple, if only one is dedicated and I believe this book can be very educational to people who are interested or are beginning to eating healthy.

Here are some recipes that I hope you enjoy !
