by Ella Woodward

Overview

From the founder of the wildly popular food blog Deliciously Ella, 120 plant-based, dairy-free, and gluten-free recipes with gorgeous, full-color photographs that capture the amazing things we can do with natural ingredients.

In 2011, nineteen-year-old Ella Woodward was diagnosed with a rare illness that left her bed-ridden, in chronic pain, and plagued by heart palpitations and headaches. When conventional medicine failed her, Ella decided to change her diet. She gave up meat, gluten, dairy, sugar, and anything processed—and the effects were immediate: her symptoms disappeared, her energy returned, and she was able to go off all her medication. A self-confessed sweet tooth, Ella taught herself how to make delicious, plant-based meals that delight the palette and improve overall well-being.

Deliciously Ella is an essential, how-to guide to clean, plant-based eating, taking you through the best ingredients and methods for preparing easy, exciting meals. This is not a diet—it’s about creating a new mindset that embraces fantastic food.

Packed with vivid photos and simple, foolproof instructions, Deliciously Ella provides a foundation for a pure, unprocessed, unrefined diet, so you can look and feel better while enjoying great food.

Editorial Reviews

The London Times

"Ella's Instagram is packed full of vibrant coloured dishes with heaps of fresh vegetables, as well as lots of great ideas for smoothies and healthy breakfasts."

Red magazine

"[Ella's] blog has become cult reading for anyone looking for simple and delicious food that's healthy but not preachy."

Grazia Daily

"Ella Woodward is deliciously magnificent! Her recipes are out of this world, and her wellness philosophy is life-changing. I adore this scrumptious cookbook and am so grateful for Ella's inspiring work."

Kris Carr

[Woodward's] brand of veganism is more save-your-life than way-of-life, and although her evangelism can veer toward the schoolgirlish…you get over it when you start cooking.

The New York Times Book Review - Jenny Rosenstrach

03/02/2015
Health-minded home cooks of the world, who have a seemingly bottomless appetite for gluten-free and vegan recipe hacks, will devour this accessible and inventive compilation. Drawing from the eponymous blog by the London-based author, this cookbook offers 120 dishes that are plant-based, gluten-free and dairy-free. Woodward explains that swapping out wheat for quinoa in her pizza crust and beef for lentils in her Bolognese helped her fight a serious health issue into remission. Beetroot carpaccio, stuffed chestnut mushrooms, and fresh spring rolls are virtuous choices with big flavor, but the cookbook really shines with its remixed treats such as sweet potato brownies, double-layered hazelnut cake, and berry cheesecake, with nary a pat of butter in sight. The frequently pictured author is also a model and the epitome of wholesome beauty, which may boost sales. What makes her book a valued contribution to the genre, however, are her easy-to-follow instructions and relatively straightforward ingredients that together deliver satisfying results. Color photos.
