EXTREMELY HELPFUL COOK BOOK! Spiralize It! is a book that is really needed!
Like a lot of people who love kitchen gadgets, I purchased the spiralizer! In fact I purchased two different models; I have the crank spiralizer and the hour glass spiralizer. The problem is after the novelty of putting a few things in it to make veggie spaghetti and garnishes, the novelty wore off and it was placed on the shelf of things I impulsively bought!
This book took my spiralizer gadgets off the 'impulsively bought' shelf to the 'useful kitchen gadget' shelf! Spiralize It! by Kenzie Swanhart taught me how to take my spiralizer from being a garnish maker to being a FULL nutritional meal maker! This book offers Creative Recipes that are simple to make. It starts with showing you the different types of spiralizers and offering the pros and cons of each type. It continues on to Classic Cravings which speaks about the more common dishes most people like. It then continues as a normal cookbook offering sections on Breakfast, Snacks and Sides, Salads, Vegetarian and Vegan, Raw, Fish and Seafood, Meat and Poultry, and Sweets! In each of these sections you will find recipes for many dietary needs. To name a few, there are the Paleo, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Vegetarian and Vegan Diets as well as the Picky Kids diet!
This book will also help you learn to swap out carbs for veggies and will help you tailor your recipes to suit your spiralizer. The also features a list of dressings, marinades and sauces to use on your spiralized veggies as well as a list of the produce with the least and greatest amount of pesticides. It closes with a Measurement conversion chart.
I found most helpful the BEAUTIFUL pictures. I am a visual person and being able to see what a food item will look like after it is spiralized was a HUGE benefit for me! Just knowing what the end product would be built my confidence to experment and be more creative myself!
I especially liked the Chicken Pad Thai, it was savory and rich! The raw rainbow noodle salad was a hit with my family! My kids just ADORED the sweet potato waffles! I am enjoying this book and I am enjoying the wonderful recipes! I am also having fun with creating some of my own recipes. This book is not only a great manual for the spiralizer, it is also a great motivator! I highly recommend this book to EVERYONE who owns a spiralizer or is thinking about getting one! I guarantee that you will be as PLEASED as I am to own it!

A Fresh Twist on Spiralizer Recipes
There is something inherently delightful about a pile of brightly colored, tangled vegetable noodles piled high on your plate. They are beautiful to look at, fun to twirl on your fork, and make a healthy and delicious base for just about any meal you can imagine. Topped with Grandma’s tomato sauce, stirred into chicken soup, or even formed into a savory waffle—the options for spiralizer recipes are infinite with this cookbook.
Sample Recipe: Zucchini Ribbon Crisp
Serves 4-6 / Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegan
Fruit crisps and crumbles are always a hit, but did you ever consider making dessert from vegetables? The mild flavor of zucchini makes this plentiful summer vegetable easy to incorporate into your favorite desserts. Serve with whipped coconut cream or coconut ice cream and take pride in the extra serving of vegetables with dessert.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 300°F.
2. Lightly grease an 8-inch-by-8-inch glass baking dish with coconut oil.
3. Layer the zucchini noodles in the prepared dish.
4. Squeeze the lemon over the zucchini, avoiding any seeds.
5. In a medium bowl, combine the almond meal, almonds, walnuts, coconut, cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt.
6. Slowly add the remaining 5 tablespoons of coconut oil and maple syrup to the bowl, stirring continuously to mix thoroughly. Spread the topping evenly over the zucchini.
7. Lightly sprinkle the brown sugar on top.
8. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until golden brown.
Fruit Substitution:
Try apples or pears.

Reviews with images
You can Spiralize every meal.
So I get that most people think this is all about squash, beets, carrots, but there are other things in this book. From breakfasts to salads, to soups, and desserts. There is something for everyone in this book. I do wish that it had more pictures in it only because I like to know what the end product in theory should look like. Also will say that some of the ingredients can be hard or expensive to find depending on your area.All in all I think this is a neat book to have on hand to try out different things, and a fun way to get kids to eat more veggies. *I received this product at discount for an honest and unbiased review.
