About this ebook

One of the biggest challenges to getting more unprocessed fruits and vegetables in our diets is the preparation time and making them fun and interesting to eat. The spiralizer, a hand-driven appliance favored by gourmet chefs and raw-food enthusiasts, is now getting its moment in the culinary spotlight, giving home cooks a way to slice and dice fresh produce quickly and creatively. People who are interested in paleo and gluten-free diets, as well as those trying to maintain their weight or entice youngsters to eat more veggies, love being able to replace grain-based pastas and other processed foods with wholesome vegetables and fruits.

Beverly Lynn Bennett demonstrates the versatility of various types of spiralizers in this collection of over 30 recipes and shows how easy it is to transform apples, beets, cabbages, carrots, potatoes, zucchini, and more into exciting dishes and eye-popping garnishes that add both pizzazz and flavor. Cuts of various sizes and shapes, from thin spaghetti-like strands to thick noodles, are incorporated into recipes that can be served for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, or snacks. Both cooked and raw dishes are featured, and all the recipes are free of gluten and dairy products, so they'll accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences. Includes illustrations.
