Publisher Description
The perfect way to eat: a colorful bowl, packed with wonderful healthy ingredients. Buddha Bowls are now a ‘must’ on the menus of many on-trend bars and restaurants: they are not only satisfying, they are also really nourishing. The concept comes from Asia and all recipes have a simple basic theme in common: a wide variety of ingredients and flavors come together in a bowl to create a harmonious overall meal. The balanced combination of carbohydrates, fat, and protein provides the body with everything it needs for well-being.
In Buddha Bowls, bestselling author Tanja Dusy provides 50 meat-free recipes for breakfast bowls, quick and easy bowls and sophisticated super bowls, and also gives readers numerous basic recipes so that you can combine your own bowl creations in no time at all. Each bowl in this book is put together as an ideal mix. Whatever you like is allowed, and anyone who wants can simply replace individual components. In this way, everyone gets full, happy and completely satisfied in their own personal way. It’s so easy to mix and match parts of the meals to make your own combos for healthy comfort food that tastes great and is easy to prepare.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Dusy (Smoothies) takes an appetizing and delightful foray into the world of Buddha bowls, with 50 recipes that build upon the basic concept of a bowl of cooked grains topped with healthy ingredients. As she writes, Buddha bowls include a combination of carbs, fat, and protein that can be easily tailored to any palate: "When done right, every bowl contains all the essential nutrients we need every day." Each recipe is classified as vegan, vegetarian, or featuring fish, and often includes tips on substitutions—such as replacing "any fish with tofu or lentils"—and shortcuts. Recipes range from the easy and fairly quick to the more elaborate and labor-intensive "Super Bowls," which include such appetizing, global-inspired combinations as spinach and hummus with pine nuts, rice noodles and prawns, and a hearty "Tuscany Bowl" with white beans and tomatoes. An intriguing array of sweet yet healthy morning bowls is on offer—chia pudding, an apple and carrot bowl, a banana and chocolate smoothie bowl—while a variety of seasonal bowls take advantage of fresh ingredients, such as red kuri squash (similar to Hubbard squash). Full of tasty and straightforward recipes, this collection will entice busy cooks looking for more flavor with less fuss.
