Nourish Cookbook Review and Giveaway

As you probably know by now, I love food. Trying new recipes is one of my favorite things to do. You should see my family gather around the kitchen island every time I try a new recipe. They’re so anxious to taste great food. Last week I’ve tried a few recipes from the Nourish Cookbook. This cookbook is full of delicious and healthy whole food recipes featuring Seeds, nuts and beans.

 

Disclosure: I received a copy of this book free of charge thanks to Whitecap Publishing. All the opinions on this blog are my own.

I simply love the Nourish Cookbook. I know whole foods are really good for the health, but I tend to forget to use food like seeds, nuts and beans in my recipes. This cookbook has a large selection of delicious recipes to help you eat better, feel good about the food you eat and prepare for your family.

I’ve tried two mouth watering recipes we all enjoyed. My kids devoured the Almond, Sweet Potato & Coconut Soup, same goes for the Nut & Seed Brittle; didn’t even last the day. I have to say my husband and I helped a bit. It’s hard not to, it’s addictive! This is definitely on my Holiday list for this year. Makes an amazing gift, and is also perfect to add to your dessert table.

Nut & Seed Brittle

Ingredients

1 Tbsp (15 ml) unsalted butter, softened
2 cups (500 ml) granulated sugar
1 cup (250 ml) water
1/2 cup (125 ml) sliced almonds
1/2 cup (125 ml) pecans
1/2 cup (125 ml) coarsely chopped unsalted pistachios
2 Tbsp. (30 ml) raw sesame seeds
2 Tbsp. (30 ml) raw unsalted pumpkin seeds
2 Tbsp. (30 ml) raw unsalted sunflower seeds

Instructions

Line a 10 x 15-inch (25 x 38 cm) baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grease pan with butter. Set aside.
Put the sugar in a large saucepan and slowly add the water, taking care not to splash. Stir just to dissolve the sugar, then bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Let the liquefied sugar simmer until it turns an amber or reddish-brown. Watch the sugar closely as the sugar can go from amber to over-cooked in just a few second. It should take about 17 minutes. Remove immediately from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Let cool.
When brittle is cool, invert to remove from pan. Break into pieces and store in an airtight container.

 Now this Almond, Sweet Potato & Coconut Soup was a hit! All the flavors, and the creaminess of the soup with the crunch of the almonds is just amazing. The curry powder and coconut milk make that soup really tasty. It was a very pleasant surprise.
