In Love with vegetarian Cookbooks
As a Food Blogger it’s not a secret that I have a big passion for good cookbooks. I already selected a lot of vegan and vegetarian masterpieces. Last year a bough a book shelves from a cabinetmaker to arrange all my beauties in front of me and my kitchen. Now I can see them every day together with some favorite props like bowls and wooden knifes. Heaven! It’s so easy to make a Food Blogger smile.
I’m planning my meals carefully and calmly. It is really relaxing for me to study cookbooks and write a cooking-plan for the next days. I love to get some extra tips for cooking or my pantry. Most of the cookbooks I own includes further information like pantry recommendations, nutritious values and which meals you can cook in advance to avoid stress.
Every cookbook is a masterpiece
I recognized every single cookbook author has his own handwriting and whenever I’m in a special state of mind I choose what fits perfect to my emotions. Some books are looking really clean and organized, others are full of chaotic and life. Some recipe idea are hearty and some are light. When you read a cookbook you learn a lot about the person who wrote it. You learn which ingredients he or she prefers. It’s always a journey in another life.
The first book which I locked in my heart
Do you remember your first cookbook which awake your enthusiasm? Your enthusiasm to cook something really special?
Mine was the greenkitchenstories cookbook “The Green Kitchen: 80 Delicious Vegetarian Recipes for Every Day” a few years ago as well as Nina Olsson’s cookbook “Bowls of Goodness” last year. I’m really a big fan of both cookbook authors. Not only because I cook from their books since years. I also had the possibility to follow them on Instagram and their blog as well as “talk” to them from time to time. So I got the possibility to learn more about their personality and lifestyle, about their values and attitude of life.

About greenkitchenstories
Greenkitchenstories was the first blog I followed. I didn’t and don’t read many blogs but I’m always faithful to David and Luise. David is a magazine art director and Luise is a Nutritional Therapist at School of Nutritional Medicine in Stockholm. Both are living together with their three kids which were born the last years during my following. It’s amazing to follow their journey. I learned a lot of thinks about Food Photography and my own diet from greenkitchenstories. With this post and giveaway I like to say thank you for their great work.
About Nina Olsson von Nourishatelier her mouthwatering Caesar Salad
I “met” Nina via Instagram. I love her nostalgic style. Her recipes are really special. Nina is a mother living in Amsterdam and she is just launching her second book! Nina love to do different things as she wrote on her blog:
I make my living as an independent art director, photographer, designer, stylist, writer and illustrator. I like doing different things.
Her recipes are vegetarian or vegan because she believes a plant based diet is kinder on our bodies and it’s the best choice for people who wants to live longer, feel and look better. I felt in love immediately with her style of food. I own a lot of cookbooks and I can tell you Nina’s is my absolutely favorite (next to greenkitchenstories).

Hi Salome! That’s a great choice. xoxo Janine
How funny, my favorite cookbook is Bowls of Goodness as well! I have a lot of cookbooks but it’s the one that is closest to my personal tastes and the one I come back to most often. It’s pretty well-worn by now and I’ve scribbled all over it ^^ My goal is to have made every single recipe at least once one day. I’m about 75% done with this fun and delicious project. I live in France and I dearly hope that it will be translated into French one day so that I can gift it to friends and family.
I’ve heard a lot about Green kitchen and and what you write about them makes me want to discover their universe!
PS: I love the caesar salad you posted. Makes me want to have it again before kale is out of season in my little corner of the world.
Hi Sandy, it’s wonderful to read about your love for Nina. Her book is amazing. You will love the greenkitchen books as well. They are really special. I own them all and I am cooking a lot from them! Thank you for joining – Good luck. xoxo Janine
Damn this is hard! But I keep going back to Green Kitchen Travels ( the Masala Dosas are out of this world! ?)
Hi Marie, same here. I have a big passion for cookbooks. And it is hard to select. But the green kitchen books are definitely in! xoxo Janine
