Easy Green Organic Review ‎

Vegetarian Recipes Easy - 100 mouth-watering recipes from actress, socialite and activist Anna Getty. This highly stylized cookbook will appeal to those who enjoy gorgeous photographs, delectable recipes and the odd bit of celebrity name-dropping.

Vegetarian Recipes -“I believe we can initiate change in a myriad of ways, including through our purchasing power, which we exercise when choosing the food we eat and the products we choose. We can choose to be conscientious and responsible consumers,” writes the author in her introduction.

This delightful cookbook features more than 100 sumptuous, easy to follow recipes and also includes a lot of useful information and tips on how to further enhance your green life.

Of particular interest is the overview of toxic cookware and why it is important to buy and consume organic foods. Did you know that the US Food and Drug Administration estimates that roughly 20lbs (9.1kgs) of pesticides per person are used each year?

Anna Getty’s Easy Green Organic also includes information on greening your kitchen and how to compost kitchen waste. Each section offers relevant information such as an overview of common mushrooms and an explanation on genetically engineered foods.

Once you have read the first two chapters you are ready to dive into the delectable recipes with chapters covering Starters, Soups, Salads, Main Dishes, Side Dishes, and Desserts and Sweets. The Menu Suggestions' section is also helpful when you need a bit of assistance to create a delicious meal.

In the Starters' section, choose from recipes like German Potato Pancakes with Turmeric Pear Applesauce and Chive Crème Fraîche, Fried Polenta with Sautéed Wild Mushrooms and Chipotle Cream Sauce or Pan Fried Sake Shrimp. The Soups' section includes favourite soups with new twists like Carrot and Cashew Soup with Parsley Oil, German Potato Soup and Fennel Soup.

The Main Dishes’ section offers a good range of vegan and vegetarian meals with the odd meat recipe - Baked Portobello Mushrooms with Avocado and Pesto, Spicy Garbanzo Bean Burritos with Cucumber Yoghurt Sauce and Steamed Halibut with Greek Salad Salsa.

Last, but by no means least, is the Desserts and Sweets' section filled with heavenly desserts that will have even the most diehard dieter asking for seconds - choose from Dark Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Black Olives and Walnuts, Sautéed Apples with Vanilla Ice Cream, Mango Bread Pudding, Pear and Blueberry Crisp with Brown Sugar Sour Cream and Strawberry Frozen Yoghurt Pie with Granola Crunch.

Each recipe is well laid out, extremely easy to follow and, based on the items we cooked up sampled from each section, absolutely delicious. Anna Getty has created a gorgeous visual feast that will be a welcome addition to any kitchen – organic or otherwise.
