As someone on my healthy sustainable-living journey I picked up this  book to find sustainable alternatives to the mass-produced & expensive, nutritionally-defunct commercial foods. The author is a funny Mom who has lived a thousand lives with the recipes she's re-created and failed humorously at. A lot of the recipes in this book are not vegan friendly so I won't try them but I like knowing that there are foods worth replicating at home rather buying store-bought. Some of the storytelling was long-winded though.
