Super Natural Every Day: Well-loved Recipes from My Natural Foods Kitchen
By Heidi Swanson
Ten Speed Press - 2011
4 stars only because my mung beans were mushy. The tempeh, however, was really tasty and the broccoli added a nice crunch. A definite must cook again!

If you can't be bothered by making a traditional pie crust and love coconut then this one is for you. Simply press the dough into the tart pan, add the fruit and macaroon filling and enjoy!
I used whole spelt flour and cherries instead of whole wheat flour and blackberries and the tart got rave reviews.

This is a quick and easy meal for a warm summer night. 4 stars only because it was not as outstanding as most of Heidi's other dishes I have tried from this book but still very nice.

Vegan Soul Kitchen: Fresh, Healthy, and Creative African-American Cuisine
By Bryant Terry

A great hearty dish for a cold winter day. Unfortunately it takes more than 3 hours until it is finished, so start in time! I had basmati rice as a side and it really tasted delicious.

This was the first roulade I managed to roll up without any issues. Nothing stuck - it was a real joy to work with!
The apricot filling was also excellent and I will definitely make this one again!

A Year in my Kitchen
By Skye Gyngell
Quadrille Publishing Ltd - 2008
This is a delicious spring salad! The raw asparagus was a positive surprise.
I tweaked the original recipe a little though: I used raw baby spinach leaves plus lemon basil, left the asparagus spears whole and blanched them for 1 minute and put a poached egg on top.

This is the highlight of your summer dinner party! Use only perfect fruit and you will not be disappointed.
The only issue I had with the recipe is that my crème anglaise took more than 30 minutes to reach the desired consistency not the 10 mentioned by the author. Thank god I used a thermometer to take the temperature of the custard so I knew I had to turn up the heat, otherwise I would be still stirring at the lowest possible heat waiting for my custard to thicken ;-).
