Almonds Every Which Way - by Brooke McLay (Paperback)

About the Book

A cookbook dedicated to almond and almond-based ingredients, which are often used in vegan, paleo, and gluten-free diets, from a popular blogger (CheekyKitchen.com) and recipe developer.

Book Synopsis

Almonds are everywhere, and with good reason! Full of vitamin E, magnesium, protein, fiber, calcium, and more, this superfood delivers lots of health benefits in a delicious little package. When almonds are made into grain-free flour, non-dairy milk, and nut butter, these easy alternatives to wheat flour, dairy, and peanut butter support a variety of diets--vegan to gluten-free, vegetarian to Paleo. Whether you're following a particular way of eating or just looking to add variety to your cooking, Almonds Every Which Way offers key info for incorporating more nutritious foods into your diet, including:

• Basic recipes for homemade almond milks, butters, and flours


• Easy tips and tricks for using and storing almond ingredients


• Nutritional info for each recipe


• Designations for gluten-free, allergy-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan, and Paleo options

And, of course, the recipes: you'll find more than 150 scrumptious almond-based dishes, from breakfast favorites like smoothies, pancakes, and croissants, to sandwiches, snacks, and easy, family-pleasing entrees like fish tacos and vegan "neatloaf." With Almonds Every Which Way, you'll have every diet, meal, and taste bud covered.
