This book, “Culinary Legacy” written by Brontie Radgman, contains a compilation of authentic plant-based recipes that are attractive and tasty. A book that should be in everyone’s kitchen whether cooking for a family or an individual. All recipes are exquisitely designed and attractively laid out from breakfasts to desserts and are packed with flavorful health-enhancing ingredients that fit the palate and budget. Each section is color-coded and contains cryptic quotes that are easy to remember. Have you ever tried making your own “Baba Ganoush,” also known as “Eggplant Choka,” from scratch? Now is the time to try this and many other delicious plant-based recipes that fit your style and taste. If you like making your own hummus, then try the Chickpea Salad Sandwich Spread, but add some garlic, pulse a couple more times in a food processor, and you would believe that you are enjoying hummus.

I received Culinary Legacy as a gift.  My enjoyment of the content began with the detailed history of plant-based foods and the benefits of a plant-based diet.  It was obvious by its detail that the author has a true appreciation for the recipes and passion for cooking with purpose as well as pleasure.  I found the recipes easy to follow and the delicious meat substitutes impressed me, which I say as a non-vegan. 

  I particularly enjoyed the Herbed Breakfast Oat Sausage, which I can honestly say rivaled the most popular store-bought plant-based sausage patties. 

The Creamy Chia Pudding was a refreshing dessert, and it was hard to believe its health benefits for such a decadent delight.  The Immune Boosting Home Remedies section was informative and a nice addition in showing the relationship between our health and the foods we eat.  All in all, I look forward to trying more recipes and, as the author stated continuing this culinary journey.
