A shout out for the revive cookbook. I received vol 3 as a birthday present. My omnivorous sons were staying and I was trying to cook stuff that was good for me and still appealed to them. A couple of the revive recipes went down a treat.
Quinoa and Cashew mingle was a hit as was the Penne Alfredo with pureed tofu in the sauce - actually the sauce was sooo good I wanted to drink it with a straw while I was cooking it!
Revive cookbooks have become a hit in the wider family - other members own the 1st 2 books. Revive is a café in Auckland - lunch there is wonderful - I can testify to that!
My only caution would be to those trying to follow the same diet as I am - watch the oil - where it says sauté in oil - I just use stock or water and it comes out fine. Coconut cream in some of the sauces - my suggestion would be to use lite coconut cream and just don't dine on that too often.
It's wonderful to find a really great New Zealand vege cookbook - if you haven't got one - go out and buy one now!
