Oh She Glows Cookbook Review
Who’s a fan of the incredibly talented food blogger, Angela Liddon? <raises hand>
I feel so lucky to have been sent a copy of Angela’s gorgeous book, The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Over 100 Vegan Recipes to Glow From the Inside Out, and it is absolutely filled to the brim with everything that we’ve come to expect from her: inviting, healthful, often decadent, yet totally manageable recipes that are made using real food ingredients.
Besides tons of new, never-been-published recipes, my favorite part of this book is the gorgeous photography. I am such a visual person and nothing inspires me more to get busy in the kitchen than to look at mouth-watering photos.
I would estimate that nearly every two or three recipes has a full color photo and that really makes this book something special in my opinion. Oh, okay, fine. I also admit that I immediately flipped to the Dessert section of Angela’s book.
I had the opportunity to meet Angela in person at Vida Vegan Con 2012 and she is as beautiful and sweet in person as she comes across online (that’s Ms. Gena Hamshaw between us):
In honor of U.S. VegWeek and Earth Day, Angela’s publisher has generously offered to send one lucky reader a copy of the book (note: this giveaway is closed), as well as allowing me to share her recipe for Eat Your Greens Detox Soup with you.
I’m thinking that the Oh She Glows Cookbook would make a fantastic Mother’s Day gift or birthday present for anyone celebrating this spring; I’m proud to add it to my cookbook collection:

This soup is the best! I make it every Christmas week when we need a break from all the indulging, and the non-vegan family loves it. The toddler was even slurping her bowl and couldn’t get enough, and the next morning I woke up feeling great after the “detox”. Thank you for the great recipe!
