Not only did Wendy come up with 60 + delicious recipes to feed your family, she was also responsible for the photography and graphic design of this beautifully presented book. What a clever Mum! Vegie Smugglers is bright and colourful, filled with gorgeous mouth-watering photographs – in this case, self-published does not mean tacky. The book is top quality.
I own a heap of cookbooks, but for the majority of them there are only a handful of recipes that I might actually cook. When I first received a copy of Vegie Smugglers I flicked through it and gave pretty much every recipe the “thumbs up” – not just for me, but I also thought that I could coax my children into trying most of them too. (In our house, the “trying” part is always the hardest, once they’ve had a taste usually they like it!)
Vegie Smugglers is broken up into convenient sections from quick dinner fixes to freezable meals to sweet treats.
The introduction of the book includes handy information about the nutritional components of vegetables (see picture below) and essential kitchen tools and skills.
In short, this book gets the big tick of approval from me! We have tried a few recipes so far (although none of them have been photographed because I never seem to have time to pull out the camera during that busy evening meal time!) and they have all been delicious. Next up, I’m looking foward to trying the Beetroot Tzatziki – it looks delicious and I have some fresh beetroot waiting to be used up. Vegie Smugglers retails at $24.95 and can be purchased here. (Word on the street is that Vegie Smugglers 2 is in the making – go Wendy!)
