Description

What's not to like about Rachel Ama?-- This book is filled with recipes that look so very, very good to eat-- These days, there seem to be more vegan food writers and influencers than you can shake a carrot stick at, yet Rachel stands out thanks to her relaxed, telegenic manner, her funky dance moves and her bold, inventive Afro-Caribbean flavours, which draw on her heritage-- SUNDAY TIMES It's refreshing that Rachel Ama is, in many ways, just herself-- A cracking debut cookbook, and a raft of recipes inspired by her roots-- BA Highlife Magazine Rachel Ama launched her YouTube channel in 2017 and has amassed a legion of followers who are all hungry for her simple, affordable, and delicious vegan recipes and recommendations (and for her dance moves). A self-confessed KFC addict as a teenager, she decided to go vegan three years ago, aged twenty-three,xa0and she hasn’t looked back. As her passion for plants grew and grew, so did her interest in cooking—and her belief that vegan food need not compromise on taste or nutrition.

I really wanted to love this book...

I really like watching Rachel's videos, and I had high expectations for this book, but unfortunately it was underwhelming. First of all, I assumed (and my fault for that) that this would be a US version, it is not. I could have overlooked that, but the recipes don't really excite me. A lot of things feel like something I have see on her YouTube show and don't really seem "new" or much different. I was also surprised that she was using tofu cream cheese in a few recipes, since she doesn't eat soy. Giving this a 3, because I really liked the pictures, color, and bits or personality by way of a song suggestion on each page. Sadly, I'll be returning, which is really sad considering it's gonna cost me 5 bucks on my refund. Oh well, you live and learn. Next time I will wait for more reviews before ordering from a new cookbook author.

Very Disappointed!

I gave the book two stars for the marketing layout, but for the content...it was a big let-down and left something to be desired. I had high expectations but was very disappointed. There was a lot of grilled eggplant (augbergine), or something like that)...then there was alot of recipes using different types of bread and alot of stuff was grilled and "peanuts abound." I thought if I turn the page and see another peanut recipe I will shoot myself! What happened to the "quick and delicious" recipes we see on the internet? At first I was going to suck it up and keep the book but I decided to return the book because there were no recipes that excited me and was interested in making. I can choose which recipes I want to download and create my own personalized book when she posted different videos...it was a real let-down and a disappointment...sorry sis...not my cup of tea!

VERY TASTY RECIPES

I love food full with flavor! With this book, you will get that. As with most cookbooks, you will find a few of the same recipes that's available on the Internet, however they have Rachel's personal touch. It's all about the spices.

Overall, the majority of her recipes are different with Caribbean and African influences. There are a lot of recipes in this book. I am very happy with my purchase.

Please create a US version!

I really want to love this cookbook! Unfortunately, being american, we all have us standard measurement tools in our household. Having metric measurements is useless for us. I know you have alot of American fans like myself- can you quickly revise a [kindle] version that has the metric measurements translated into us american standard measurements? That alone will make this useful rather than frustrating or inconvenient for your american consumers.

The book looks nice and we will see what it has to offer soon.

This book has some strange recipes but I am willing to try them and support my sister. I gave her four stars because I a very slightly disappointed and expected more so she does get four for effort. I will be cooking one of her recipes and see how that comes out. I should have waited to score her but..........I didn't so I am mostly basing this on the overall visual of the book and the wording.

Great Caribbean vegan recipes

I enjoy the Caribbean based vegan recipes in this book! The recipes were not difficult and I was able to obtain the ingredients needed. I’m a new vegan and her recipes have made my transition easier. She even has conversions printed in the back of the book for those of us in the US. I recommend this book!
