The Leafy Greens Cookbook
100 Creative, Flavorful Recipes Starring
Super-Healthy Kale, Chard, Spinach, Bok Choy, Collards and More!
Do you eat enough leafy greens? I know I don’t and that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to review and taste the recipes in this book. I didn’t grow up eating Kale, Chard, Bok Choy, Watercress, Endive, or Mustard Greens. But that’s no reason to ignore them, right? I find that as I get older, I really have the desire to find different ways of preparing fresh produce. Not only is it healthier for us, but I’m sick of the same ol’ vegetables that my family is willing to eat. I need to change it up a little! At this point, I’m willing to make it just for me, if Dave doesn’t want to try something new. (Andrew is hardly home at supper time and Matthew lives an hour away in Boston.)
So…being the Brussel Sprouts freak that I am, I made the Brussel Sprouts with Bacon and Cherries on page 39 of this cookbook. They. Were. Yummy! I used dried cranberries instead of the dried cherries and I enjoyed every bite! Wahoo! Now I have a different way to make my favorite vegetable!
Here is a list of recipes in the book that I want to try:
Watercress and Herb Sauce over Salmon
Pork-Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
Stir-Fried Bok Choy with Beef
Spinach Burgers
Hot Spinach, Mozzarella, and Tomato on Ciabatta
Chard Quiche
Endive Gratin
Roasted Shaved Brussel Sprouts with Parmesan
Napa Cabbage with Soy Sesame Dressing and Peanuts
Southwestern Coleslaw
Kale Soup with Sausage and Potatoes
Kale Salad with Avocado
Review: The Leafy Greens Cookbook does not have any photos, but the recipes are mostly short and look very easy to make. This is one healthy cookbook! It’s filled with wholesome, feel-good food! I would describe the recipes as creative, unique, and vitamin-packed. I personally feel like this book will open me up to enjoying new ways of preparing fresh, seasonal produce!

I’d love to win this book so I could have some different ideas on how to incorporate greens into our meals. Salads and plain green vegetables can be a bore.
I love greens since I grew up eating all kinds because my parents always had a large garden in the summertime with all kinds of vegetables growing in it. I still eat my greens and still enjoy them as much as I did when I was a youngster. But the chance to win this book would mean I would get more ideas to enjoy my greens ever so much more..
I love green vegetables, but am tired of eating them the same way. This being summer and they are fresh, its a good time to trick the taste buds.
Id love to try some of these healthy recipes. Growing up my dad hated brussel sprouts and didnt let them in the house but I tried them and love them so this would be great!
I need to expand my use of greens, since they are so essential to good health.
We joined a CSA this year and we still have about 3 months of veggies coming, many leafies that I’m not familiar with or just have a few recipes for.
We’re vegetarians, so I’m always looking for new ways to cook greens/veggies.
