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:

I have had two people who have told me it is a must have book … would really love the chance to win it. I went fully vegan in January of this year after 2 years of being vegetarian.
If I can get that rafflecopter to allow for me to get a chance at the give away I would love it. Thanks for sharing the yummy looking recipe.
Right now, my One Dish Vegan cookbook is the one I’m opening the most. I am a huge fan of easy, one-pot meals!
I use Carrie on Vegan and Fat Free Vegan more than any other websites, but there are SO many that I love!
Me too, Leah! I mean, the part about having so many awesome resources for recipes. 🙂
I remember following Angie’s blog quite a while ago & loving it. Trying to ‘go vegan’ so I recently re-discovered her blog again & yours! Thanks for the great soup recipe.
You’re welcome, Diana! 🙂
I get my recipes from Pinterest and cookbooks from the library.
My most commonly used resources are the Vegan Delish app, budgetbytes.com and fatfreevegan.com as well as my own recipe binder. I do really love ohsheglows.com too! Angela created some of my favorite fall/winter recipes =)
Xoxo, Mindy! 🙂
I usually use Deborah Madison’s cookbook for vegetarian cooking
Ohhh, not familiar with that one, I will check it out. Thanks, Lynn! 🙂
At the moment, I’m recipe testing for Somer’s book (VedgedOut.com). So most of what I’m making is coming from her.
(I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to answer the question here, or in the Rafflecopter.)
Hi Terri, as long as you entered in one way or another on Rafflecopter, your name will be in the hat. 🙂
