The first Oh She Glows cookbook and blog helped me so much when I first became vegan over seven years ago, and Angela's recipes are ones that I return to again and again. I have all three of her cookbooks, and I think this new one will quickly become one of my favorite cookbooks.
Although this new book focuses on dinner recipes, it is broken up into several main sections/chapters:
* Go-To Mains
* Satisfying Sides and Small Bites
* Meal-Worthy Salads
* Hearty Soups and Stews
* Treats and Drinks
* Sauces, Dressings, Spices, and More
I've included some photos of the recipe breakdown in each section so you can see what sorts of recipes are included. There are also small sections on meal planning and prep, sample menus, and general cooking tips.
Since the book just arrived, I've only made two recipes (the Humble Creamy Mushrooms and Toast and the Mega Crunch Sun-Dried Tomato-Pepita Salad, and both turned out to be delicious. As with all the OSG recipes I've made over the years, they came together quickly, and the flavors were really satisfying.
The recipes rely on whole foods (not processed ingredients), and each one includes the number of servings, the active prep time, and the total time. Most of the recipes also include a color photo, which I love since having photos inspires me to make recipes from cookbooks.
My only disappointment -- and it's a minor one, not worth marking the book down -- is that the soups section doesn't include instructions on how to make them in the Instant Pot. Since Angela has some IP recipes on the OSG website and there are a few IP recipes in this book, I was hoping there would be suggestions for how long to cook these in the IP. Like I said, it's a small thing and I know that the book isn't meant to be an IP cookbook.
This OSG cookbook is more expensive than her previous ones, but it's hardback and full of gorgeous photos. The paper has a rich texture to it, and elevates this cookbook above others. It's more like a coffee table book than a cookbook.
Bon appetit!

I love Angela’s third book. Previous to this her first book was my favorite. I love the layout, the photos and the way the recipes are written. They are as close to standardized recipe form as I have seen in a while. I believe all recipes should be written in standardized recipe form. The pictures are beautiful. I have made the MaMa Bears Oats and they were delicious. Next will be the protein packed mashed potatoes and the Oh Canada! Maple Torte topped with gooey apples. The only thing that would make this book better is if there were nutritional counts and if the recipes were written in true standardized form. Also if you avoid oils and fats as in the WFPB no oil lifestyle this might not be for you. I think these recipes will be perfect for entertaining my carnivore friends and family.
