My Thoughts 

I knew I wanted to peruse this cookbook the second I saw the title and the cover (I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest). 

Ms. Kacouchia offers recipes with a joyous spirit within these pages. 

The photos in here are gorgeous, the layout is bright and friendly but never overpowering or stressful. The recipes are all very appealing and many are very clean, which I love. 

We’ve made a few things - we’re planning on making way more. While some of the recipes do contain my teen’s allergen, sesame, it’s not in so many of the recipes that I would feel disappointed if I had ordered this upon publication. 

Definitely recommended.
