Review: Inspiralized by Ali Maffucci - I have the Kindle edition, and have just ordered two paperback copies, one for a gift. I use this all of the time. I feel better since I've started spiralizing and Ali's book is my go-to. I like the recipes and her creativity a lot. There are some veggies that I can't have, such as potatoes, beets, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, (and it's nothing to do with carbohydrates), but she almost always has a list of successful veggies that you can use instead, such as swapping rutabagas for potatoes, butternut squash for sweet potatoes. There are also spices that I can't have, such as chili powder and curry powder, but over the years, I've grown adept at swapping them for things I can have, or just adapting the recipe, and although it won't be quite the same, it generally turns out to be quite edible. I've never been a huge fan of rice, and I really enjoyed her Butternut Risotto I made last night. Instead of chicken broth, I used the last of my Pace and a bit of water, and served it with homemade refried beans on the side. It turned out very well. It was fast, easy, and I didn't have to stand at the stove and stir for 20 minutes. That recipe is now in my rotation. I am even trying some "new" veggies. I stumbled across some Kalettes the other day, just after I had read her "Spicy Parmesan-Garlic Zucchini Pasta with Sausage and Kalettes" (on her Inspiralized.com website), and decided to try it. It turned out very well, and looks like its' picture. I am looking forward to trying kohlrabi, which my mother would never cook, even though the Savoy Cabbage wasn't so successful. It does make a good wrap for a burrito, but I am not all that chuffed about the taste of it. She gives you a good variety of recipes for all kinds of diets-if you are low-carb, vegetarian, or vegan, there are always swaps that you can make, or things that you can just leave out. Her instructions are generally clear, and she also has videos you can watch either at her website or on YouTube that show you how to clean her spiralizer (I don't have hers, I have the Paderno Pro 4-blade), or how to spiralize this or that vegetable. It's written in a friendly, informative, and uplifting style and the pictures are very nice and appetizing, too. I have been making zucchini spaghetti with a vegetable peeler for quite some time, and I think it turns out much better with the spiralizer, especially if you wrap it in paper towels, put it in a zip loc, stash it in the fridge, and let it hang out there until you need it. It's a lot easier to spiralize veggies all at one time, and use them over the next couple of days, and Ali gives you information on how to do this, or even freeze them. Although I can't make everything in it as is and across the board, I can highly recommend this cookbook. It's been very good for the things I can make, and is always good as a springboard for ideas.
Review: Boght this two months ago - time for the review - we're dropping weight like crazy!! - So everything I have read about this book is true and then some. I realize it's a little extreme to say this book has changed our lives, but in many ways; it really has. First, my wife is already a fantastic home cook; and for the most part we ate pretty healthy already. But this book has taken it to a new level. Not only are we eating some of the best tasting food I have ever eaten, but we're not eating any crap anymore; and very unexpectedly are dropping tons of weight. Neither one of us we're large to begin with. My wife is 5'10 and weighed in the 165ish range. I'm 6.0" and approx 225. In two months, my wife has droppped 15# and I've dropped 20. Neither one of us really exercises, but we're also not super lazy people. We're active, but not in a go to the gym sort of way. But it's not just the book and the spiralizer. Outside of beer and alcohol, we have cut out carbs completely - no bagels, donuts, bread, pasta, rice, or potatoes, etc. etc. We had tried to go semi-paleo last year and really struggled with how to eat. This book completely solved that problem. The recipes in here are phenomenal. And like any other recipe; we do alot of substituting and personal changes so we can utilize what's in our pantry and not have to make an extra trip to the store. Take this book and be creative and don't be afraid to tweak on the recipes. The meals are very flavorful; the recipes are super fast and easy; and I love the use of so many fresh ingredients. While it's not a 1-1 substitute; I do think the food in here tastes just as good. For example; the Lasagna uses Zucchini as a pasta subsitute. And it works. If you think about it; plain pasta is pretty bland and flavorless. Plain zucchini is also bland and flavorless, but then you add homeade pasta sauce; riccotta cheese, mozarella cheese, and all the seasonings and it's very much like lasagna. the vegetables really absorb and hold the rest of the ingredient flavors very well. I would highly recommend this book to ANYONE. It's a great way to significantly increase your vegetable intake while reducing your cab intake at the same time. My kids are super picky and have been slow to adopt. We don't force feed them stuff they don't like, but they're still eating better than they were before - especially the salads. Some of the best salds I've ever had came from this book. This review is being done after my third book purchase. Our friends love coming over to eat so much that we're setting up some of them now.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Four and a half stars.
*by K***R on August 6, 2015*

Love this book and love the Inspiralized website. I mostly purchased the book to support the author, who publishes healthy, gluten-free, beautiful recipes (and stories to go with them) on her blog. She also has plenty of videos demonstrating how to spiralize different foods including a surprising number of veggies, and a few firm fruits. The recipes are inventive and satisfying. I like that each recipe lists other foods you could substitute to make your noodles right in the recipe. BTW, you can use the spiralizer to make a couple of different shapes. You can also process the noodles in the food processor to make something that resembles rice out of some foods. Anybody trying to figure how to get more fruits and veggies into their diets would appreciate this book. So would someone looking for low carb substitutes for pasta, noodles, rice, grains. Many of the non-dairy recipes could be paleo also. The only thing that is missing is in the nutrition information. It lists some macros like calories, protein, carbs and fat, but not fiber. Trying to ensure 30 grams a fiber per day, so wish I didn't have to go elsewhere to find that info. Otherwise, this would be a 5 star book.
