In exchange for my review I was given a free copy of The Book of Greens by Jenn Louis from Blogging for Books. The opinions I express are my own and were no way influenced.

 

My sister and I have been enjoying reading through and looking at the recipes from The Book of Greens by Jenn Louis. This book is so full of information about all kinds of greens, even things we might consider weeds. That is one thing that makes this cookbook unique, is the nutritional value for things like eating the leaves off of tomato plants. I would never think about eating leaves off of tomato plants, or many other plants. The leaves of the tomato plant are not considered to be a nightshade. After the name of the green there is a bunch of information and then a few recipes to try out. I also enjoy the fact that each recipe contains more than one green in the mix.

While visiting me in Vancouver Washington from Moulton Alabama by sister had her son find her the book on Amazon and buy it for her. That is how inspiring this book truly is. In fact, while my sister is driving up to Seattle for her son, she brought the book with her to read through.

Eating greens, such as kale, cabbage, dandelion, and many other green leafy things have so much nutritional value. As I am growing older, I’m thinking more about nutrition and how foods affect my body. This book is a great asset to gathering that information and learning how to use the green to make it test delicious. While roaming around in my farmer’s market last weekend, we picked up some greens and made a sauté dish in which we put chicken over the top. It was yummy. This book inspires you to eat more greens.

This book is for the adventurous eater, who wants to learn about the different types of greens and how to prepare them.
