Smooth and creamy, with all the fat

I recently couldn’t wait anymore. I wasn’t sure what I was waiting for, time to go through other cookbooks, a birthday, pure procrastination? I gave into temptation and bought Get it Ripe and I am really enjoying it. I had to have it because Jae sounds just like me. Or who I think I am. She knows how to grow food, cook food and is a holistic nutrionist (the latter of which I am not, but I am fascinated with nutrition). The first half of the book is nutrition and advice and information about veganism and she talks in such a non-judgemental manner that it’s a pleasure to read (although being yelled at by the Skinny Bitch girls made me laugh). The second half of the book is recipes that I look forward to making. I have a number of cookbooks for different reasons, like VWAV is my comfort food book. I’m not sure where Get it Ripe stands yet but it’s definitely winning a place in my heart. The Southern Bowl dish with chipotle black eyed peas and maple mashed sweet potatoes made me swoon. The raw pudding was a fun adventure. My only advice is to get an avocado that is ripe, NOT overripe. My pudding had great texture and flavor but the old avocado aftertaste was not cool.
