After reading Fiber Fueled, I was interested to see more recipes that would support my goal of eating a diversity of plants.  While there are roughly 100 recipes in this book, a good chunk of it is devoted to helping people with particularly food sensitivities, as well as deep dives on fermentation and sprouting techniques.  I didn't particularly want or need this information, and wish that there were even more recipes on offer, but I can see the information being VERY helpful to a lot of people.

I promised myself I wouldn't review a cookbook without trying at least one recipe, so I made the Very Veggie Soup, and it was EXCELLENT.  (Even though I used boxed veggie stock and didn't make my own low-histamine Biome Broth!)  I'm excited to try more; I like that they have accessible ingredients (the most exotic being things like nutritional yeast or pink peppercorns) and aren't overly time-consuming or complicated.  

If you simply want a cookbook of vegan recipes, this one may be a bit too niche to fit the bill.  But if you want a good companion to Fiber Fueled or have sensitivities to FODMAPs or histamine, this would be an excellent addition to your cookbook collection.
