The Forest Feast Road Trip: Simple Vegetarian Recipes Inspired by My Travels through California

This is a fabulous book. I have the other Forest Feast books and I'm so glad I got this one too - definitely worth it! It's kind of amazing that the recipes are all legit new and while this book has the same beautiful aesthetic as the others, the road trip element is charming. (they travel well!) We can't all take a couple months off to travel the state like this but it's a great escape and reminder that CA has so many cool spots to see within driving distance. The slow-beauty lifestyle is inspiring too. We actually ran into the author and her husband in SF and they were super gracious, very cool. :) I'll be using this a ton - fast, healthy, fresh, sustainable food. The blender muffins are already a hit around here!

We’ve long awaited another Forest Feast cookbook and it’s just as fabulous as all the others! It was through this author that we started meatless Mondays and although we are not vegetarians, we are now very comfortable with veggie meals, not just Mondays anymore (good for us and good for the planet). This book is not just an amazing guide to vegetarian cooking, but it’s also aesthetically, one of the most beautiful books in our home library. It’s such a delight to cook from a book so thoughtfully put together with so many delicious recipes, so easy to follow. In fact, if we had one wish to dine with anyone…it would be at the Gleeson family’s cabin in the words…that would be an absolute delight! Superb work and highly recommended!

Fantastic recipes for someone easing into a more vegetarian diet.Very stiff binding for a cookbook. Once open to a recipe, the book closes. If anyone has a hint on how to break the binding, I'm all ears.The Walnut Enchiladas recipe is a winner for us! I am anxious to try most of the recipes.Too bad the book does not cooperate and stay flat. Update with some forceful bending, the binding is starting to relax.

All of Erin's books are beautiful, from her whimsical artwork, decorating tips, to the delicious recipes. I love all 4 of her books, and they are my favorite vegetarian cookbooks - EVER! Prepare to be delighted! My only wish is for her to now travel to Hawaii to study the abundant produce unique to the islands and offer delightful recipes for the rest of us to enjoy! Hint: please come to the big island (Kailua-Kona!) first! Warm alohas!

I own all of Erin Gleeson’s cookbooks and adore them all- but this is probably her best cookbook yet! As always, it’s stunning. The recipes are simple, veggie forward, and delicious. My family has totally loved the spaghetti and meatballs, black bean enchiladas, taquitos, bbq corn salad, and green soup. That’s all we’ve tried so far, but I fully intend to make every recipe in this book! I agree with other reviews in that the binding is tough and it is very hard to keep this book open. But other than that, it’s flawless.

More than just a cookbook, this is a travel book, an adventure book, and a work of art.You can imagine yourself traveling with Erin and her family on their trips around California and enjoying delicious food while you travel. The vegetarian recipes are easy to make with minimal fuss or preparation.This book is the kind of book you can pick up again and again and find something new and interesting each time you look at it. It is a happy book, full of color and beautiful images; it is a feast for the eyes!

So far, I have made six recipes from this cookbook, all of which were easy and fun to make. The appetizers look gourmet on the plate and are so tasty! The photographs made me want to visit every single place that was highlighted in the cookbook! I highly recommend this vegetarian cookbook for beginners as well as for seasoned cooks! You won't regret it!

This is an absolutely gorgeous cookbook! So much nostalgia for the places in California I grew up visiting. I've made several of the recipes and they were all delicious. Can't wait to make more!

Not your average cookbook - this book has many, many intriguing recipes and each are uncomplicated, healthy and delicious. It's hard to pick which recipe to prepare next, they all are so tempting! (Actually that's the case with all of the "Forest Feast" books.) Plus, they are beautiful books with step by step illustrations in watercolors! And, although the recipes are vegetarian-based it's easy to incorporate fish, chicken or meat as a side if desired. If you enjoy simple and delicious food - you'll love this book! (And the others!)
