Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

My thoughts on Dada Eats Love to Cook It by Samah Dada: I love this cookbook. It has some wonderful recipes that are plant-based. The pictures are gorgeous, and the recipes are easy to follow. It really comes in handy when it is CSA season and I have a lot of vegetables to cook. I love the Plot Twist all’ Arrabbiata. It uses eggplant, and it is so delicious. I’ve made it so many times. It freezes well too.

  

There are a lot of recipes with various nuts or nut-based products, so if you have nut allergies, there will be quite a few recipes you will have to adapt.

 

Would I recommend it? Yes, I would, especially if you like plant-based recipes.
 

 
About the book – from Goodreads: Samah Dada doesn’t buy into the all-or-nothing mentality of healthy eating. By using real, unprocessed ingredients in surprising ways, she shows you how to have your cake and eat it too—because it’s actually made out of chickpeas.

Her food is often vegan, allergen-free, gluten-free, grain-free, and Whole30-compliant because she’s only using the most nutritious ingredients, not because she’s cutting out food groups to follow the latest fad. Her creative use of plants gives us drool-worthy dishes like her viral hits Brookie Pie and Chocolate Chip Tahini Cake with Chocolate Frosting, as well as One Banana Only Muffin Tops, Pancake Bread, Cauliflower Cacio e Pepe, and Masala Mac and Cheese.

And she draws on her Indian roots for dishes like Spicy Eggplant Masala and the Best Dal Ever that come together in record time. Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies, Coconut Sugar Halva Strawberry Crumble Bars, and Marbled Chocolate Tahini Loaf Cake rely on unprocessed sugars, legumes, and grain-free flours, but they still satisfy every sweet tooth as you learn how to use these healthy ingredients for maximum flavor and joy.
