Review: Lovely, delicious, and healthy recipes with a wide variety of flavors and textures - I have been collecting cookbooks for decades in search of my ideal book for everyday meals. I have what seem to have been impossibly high standards for recipes - fresh and healthy ingredients, affordable, and extremely flavorful. What I've found particularly in vegetarian-focused cookbooks are typically those that either utilize an inordinate amount of processed ingredients or depend on the always-bountiful produce available in the western and southern parts of the US. While I'm as much a fan of Alice Waters, Anna Thomas, etc. as the next person, I live in northern Minnesota where the growing season tends to be over mere moments after you've picked up your seeds or plants for the growing season. This means that for most of the year, our produce is shipped-in from distant farms and lacks the quality and flavor that can easily stand alone in dishes made by our Chez Panisse friends and other warmer climate restauranteurs and cookbook authors. I've been delighted to find that with every recipe I've tried so far, the outstanding flavor combinations, seasonings, and varied textures within each of the dishes Whole Bowls contains have been truly outstanding. Lovely photographs are plentiful which I find beneficial since I am feeding a family of mostly veggie-haters; because Allison is also a food stylist, I glean helpful and practical ideas about designing plates that look appealing. I've had no trouble finding ingredients in our limited natural foods store. Whether I'm using produce fresh from our lovely summer market where veggies and fruits come to sale straight from the farm that morning or purchasing the bleak mid-winter produce of our local co-op, all of Allison's recipes have resulted in fresh, tasty, healthy, visually beautiful, and satisfying meals. If you are looking for outstanding, easy, affordable and flavorful vegetarian meals and live in an area of the country with a limited growing season - or even if you live in a locale with a plethora of year-around fresh ingredients - this book is for you. After years of hoping for a tome of recipes I can enjoy daily and meals prepared with ease, I've finally found my favorite go-to cookbook. Thanks, Allison Day, and I hope you continue with future cookbook projects! Review: Great Cookbook - I love this cookbook, and have eaten my way through most of the book. I bought the book after it came as a good suggestion from a friend that also owned and loved the book. I highly suggest this book. The meals were easy to make and the ingredients were simple and easy to get. Each recipe is very flavorful, unique and nutrient dense. Making some of the recipes for the first time, I questioned some of the seasons and food pairings. I thought they were strange, only because many of them are not things I would necessarily put together on my own. BUT! I have been pleasantly surprised again and again, and have loved each one of her recipes. For 99% of all the recipes Allison Day (the author/chef of the cookbook) uses "normal" ingredients that are easy to get, but she still manages to create exotic and fulfilling meals! While the whole recipes are great, I personally love each one of the sauces or dressings that she created and many of them steal the show of the meal. The book also has lots of full page colored images of the food, and (easy) suggested plating techniques so that the food I made, often looks equally beautiful on my plate as it does in the pictures. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated that none of her recipes tried in any way to make tofu taste like beef or suggest that some vegetable will become just like meat. Each recipe celebrates whole foods, and supports the flavors of each of the food. I also appreciate that many of her recipes are nutrient dense, and I'm not hungry again 30 minutes later like I am with many other vegetarian and vegan cookbooks. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #458,407 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #80 in Gluten-Free Diets #131 in Natural Food Cooking #660 in Cooking for One or Two | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 703 Reviews | ## Images ![Whole Bowls: Complete Gluten-Free and Vegetarian Meals to Power Your Day - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81PA8o-3T7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely, delicious, and healthy recipes with a wide variety of flavors and textures *by S***E on July 3, 2016* I have been collecting cookbooks for decades in search of my ideal book for everyday meals.

The Banquet Bowl with cauliflower hazelnut pilaf, dhal and raita is a fantastic recipe. She has what essentially is a coconut bechamel, that she refers to as a coconut gravy, and that recipe too is solid. Allison's recipes work, I've cooked 4-5 out of the book already and they all work. I use some of them as a starting reference point and embellish my own ideas into them to suit my palate and this is the point of the book. She uses contrast in her recipes with sharp pickles and fruits and adds crunch as well. Her recipes are well balanced and nutritious on top of being tasty. If you want to eat healthy and want a book to find inspiration in, then this book is for you. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/25249980-whole-bowls-complete-gluten-free-and-vegetarian-meals-to-power](https://www.desertcart.us/products/25249980-whole-bowls-complete-gluten-free-and-vegetarian-meals-to-power) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-07*
