Almonds Every Which Way: More than 150 Healthy & Delicious Almond Milk, Almond Flour, and Almond Butter Recipes
In her celebration of all things almond, food writer and recipe developer McLay caters to many distinctly different palates—Paleolithic, dairy-free, gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, vegetarian, and, of course, those without dietary restrictions—which guarantees her book will appeal to the broadest swath of the population. Almonds are her staff of life, welcomed by her for their natural provision of magnesium, potassium, and protein, and used as elements in every one of her more than 150 recipes via almond milk, flour, or butter. And she’s done her homework by reviewing manufacturers of premade almond fixings in the appendix. Recipes will look familiar and will appeal to many tastes; they include Belgian sweet waffles, cheddar dill popovers, marinated spicy kale salad, spicy carrot soup, and quick coconut shrimp. What’s even more attractive is the inclusion of complete nutritional counts for each dish, from calories to dietary fiber. And she’s eager to offer suggestions, whether for muffin mix-ins or uses for leftover almond pulp. --Barbara Jacobs
