The No Meat Athlete Cookbook: Whole Food, Plant-Based Recipes to Fuel Your Workouts--And the Rest of Your Life by Stepfanie Romine, Matt Frazier
3.0
This book is jam-packed with information about nutrition, especially for athletes. This could be a good or a bad thing. If the reader is interested in knowing more about this, it is helpful; however, the audience of readers who already know these things and are looking for recipes will be disappointed. It feels quite wordy.
The recipes are, for a lack of a better term, okay. As someone who follows a similar diet, I didn't find anything I wanted to make, and I worry that people new to that diet won't find anything that appeals to them, either. I may be wrong. Some of the recipes, especially tofu-based ones, seemed a little "mushy." There were also strange flavor combinations, like oatmeal full of salsa.
Personally, I was not a fan. However, I'm sure others will feel differently, and my opinion of it shouldn't sway interested readers away from giving it a look.
