5.0 out of 5 stars Vegan recipes that omnivores will love October 30, 2012

By SteveB

I'm an omnivore married to a vegan and we've made 20+ meals from this book so far. Everything has been excellent. I highly recommend the Chickpea Crepes with Artichoke Aioli. Blew my mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most beautiful cookbook I've ever seen. Destined to be a classic. October 30, 2012

By Danielle LaPorte

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought FIFTEEN copies of Kris Carr's last book, Crazy Sexy Diet for all of my girlfriends (and even my dad). And I'll get fifteen more of Crazy Sexy KITCHEN. Crazy Sexy Diet changed my lifestyle into a plant-focused, anti-inflammatory, more food-conscious way of living. Crazy Sexy KITCHEN is going to change the way we cook in my house: more intentional, more greens, more light, and more flavah!

And... the book is GORGEOUS. So that's a bonus to the really thoughtful recipes.

We've used Mollie Katzen's Moosewood Cookbook for years, and Crazy Sexy Kitchen is getting the new prime spot in our house, especially since we're more focused on wellness and planet-love than ever.

Crazy Sexy Kitchen will become a classic cookbook. May the plant-empowered revolution that Kris is fueling grow wild. xoxo

4.0 out of 5 stars Educational and good for you! November 2, 2012

By Horse Lover

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

A beautiful cookbook. I loved the into pages, they are filled with tons of great info. I have only tried one recipe and have to say I love the Strawberry Fields Smoothie, I have had it twice in 2 days. There are so many recipes I want to try right away. I didn't find any of them to terribly difficult. They are rated 1 or 2 for difficulty but even the ones rated a 2 aren't that hard if you know how to cook. I love the layout of the book, I do wish it had more pictures of the finish products. Also the reason I gave it 4 stars, Why curse in a cookbook? Its a big turn off. I have even watched some of her videos and she curses. Its a big turn off and unprofessional, I am a professional in the health field and would never consider that being a part of it. Other that that I am loving it and cant wait to get cooking! Great job Kris!
