On her wildly popular blog, Inspiralized, Ali Maffucci is revolutionizing healthy eating. Whether you’re low-carb, gluten-free, Paleo, or raw, you don’t have to give up the foods you love. Inspiralized shows you how to transform more than 20 vegetables and fruits into delicious meals that look and taste just like your favorite indulgent originals. Zucchini turns into pesto spaghetti; jicama becomes shoestring fries; sweet potatoes lay the foundation for fried rice; plantains transform into “tortillas” for huevos rancheros. Ali’s recipes for breakfast, snacks, appetizers, sandwiches, soups, salads, casseroles, rices, pastas, and even desserts are easy to follow, hard to mess up, healthful, and completely fresh and flavorful. Best of all, she tells you how to customize them for whatever vegetables you have on hand and whatever your personal goal may be—losing weight, following a healthier lifestyle, or simply making easy meals at home. Here, too, are tons of technical tips and tricks; nutritional information for each dish and every vegetable you can possibly spiralize; and advice for spiralizing whether you’re feeding just yourself, your family, or even a crowd. So bring on a hearty appetite and a sense of adventure—you’re ready to make the most of this secret weapon for healthy cooking. Review: Inspiralized by Ali Maffucci - I have the Kindle edition, and have just ordered two paperback copies, one for a gift. I use this all of the time. I feel better since I've started spiralizing and Ali's book is my go-to. I like the recipes and her creativity a lot. There are some veggies that I can't have, such as potatoes, beets, spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, (and it's nothing to do with carbohydrates), but she almost always has a list of successful veggies that you can use instead, such as swapping rutabagas for potatoes, butternut squash for sweet potatoes. There are also spices that I can't have, such as chili powder and curry powder, but over the years, I've grown adept at swapping them for things I can have, or just adapting the recipe, and although it won't be quite the same, it generally turns out to be quite edible. I've never been a huge fan of rice, and I really enjoyed her Butternut Risotto I made last night. Instead of chicken broth, I used the last of my Pace and a bit of water, and served it with homemade refried beans on the side. It turned out very well. It was fast, easy, and I didn't have to stand at the stove and stir for 20 minutes. That recipe is now in my rotation. I am even trying some "new" veggies. I stumbled across some Kalettes the other day, just after I had read her "Spicy Parmesan-Garlic Zucchini Pasta with Sausage and Kalettes" (on her Inspiralized.com website), and decided to try it. It turned out very well, and looks like its' picture. I am looking forward to trying kohlrabi, which my mother would never cook, even though the Savoy Cabbage wasn't so successful. It does make a good wrap for a burrito, but I am not all that chuffed about the taste of it. She gives you a good variety of recipes for all kinds of diets-if you are low-carb, vegetarian, or vegan, there are always swaps that you can make, or things that you can just leave out. Her instructions are generally clear, and she also has videos you can watch either at her website or on YouTube that show you how to clean her spiralizer (I don't have hers, I have the Paderno Pro 4-blade), or how to spiralize this or that vegetable. It's written in a friendly, informative, and uplifting style and the pictures are very nice and appetizing, too. I have been making zucchini spaghetti with a vegetable peeler for quite some time, and I think it turns out much better with the spiralizer, especially if you wrap it in paper towels, put it in a zip loc, stash it in the fridge, and let it hang out there until you need it. It's a lot easier to spiralize veggies all at one time, and use them over the next couple of days, and Ali gives you information on how to do this, or even freeze them. Although I can't make everything in it as is and across the board, I can highly recommend this cookbook. It's been very good for the things I can make, and is always good as a springboard for ideas. Review: Recipes from around the world - delicious, healthy, and and nicely presented - Like the other reviewers here, I follow Ali's blog, so I was interested to see how much overlap there was between her blog and cookbook. There is actually not much overlap, most of the recipes in "Inspiralized" seem to be new (relative to her blog). There are about 3 from the breakfast chapter (sweet potato waffles, savoy cabbage breakfast burrito, and huevos rancheros) - but otherwise, those are really the only ones I noticed. Ali includes a stunning amount of variety, from "Everything bagel" breakfast buns (yum), chana masala with kohlrabi rice, Thai drunken zucchini noodles with pork (my favorite), to apple-potato buns as a gluten-free, healthier alternative to grilled cheese. Every recipe I have made from her blog has turned out well, so I am expecting similar results from this book. I love the layout of her cookbook - it's easy to see at a glance how much time everything will take, and unlike a lot of cookbooks I've used where it takes three times longer than promised - her estimates are pretty accurate for me. In addition, there's the nutritional information, a photo of what it should look like, whether it's GF, veggie, vegan, etc. My favorite feature though is probably the fact that each recipe includes an "also works with" box. She really encourages you to explore with your spiralizer and try new things. In case you don't like something, or can't find it, or have an overabundance of something else - Ali makes it really easy to adapt her recipes to suit your personal tastes, while staying as healthy as you want to stay (for instance, she says up front that her recipes don't include butter, cream, etc - but feel free to add if you desire). Also, the intro section where she talks about how to use your spiralizer, which veggies are permissible, special ways to deal with things like the soapy taste from daikon, how to prepare and store spiral veggies for cooking later - while it is all on her blog, it's nice to have in one place here. I thought that the spiralizer was just another huge kitchen gadget that I might not really use, but I've lost about 10 lbs since I got mine in December (yeah, two months ago) - just from cutting out pasta and rice. Even my cooking-phobic roommate uses my spiralizer weekly. Ali's blog has really helped me experiment with all the ways I can use the spiralizer, without giving up the dishes that I like. This book takes it even further. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #180,750 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #210 in Vegetable Cooking (Books) #220 in Gluten Free Recipes #252 in Low Carbohydrate Diets | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 3,878 Reviews | ## Images ![Inspiralized: Turn Vegetables into Healthy, Creative, Satisfying Meals: A Cookbook - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810nlm7+bsL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Inspiralized by Ali Maffucci *by K***N on March 22, 2015* I have the Kindle edition, and have just ordered two paperback copies, one for a gift.

I was a bit hesitant, since I like to browse cookbooks for pleasure, but it has turned out to be a great idea! I already keep many of my newer recipes on my laptop anyway, and I carry it into the kitchen to cook. And, even better, now when I am at the grocery, I have access to the recipes right on the Kindle app on my iPhone! No more calling home to have the recipe's ingredients read to me when I didn't bring my grocery list. I've had "Inspiralized" and my Paderno Spiralizer (Amazon) for about a week now and have tried four recipes, with more planned. I liked that I saw numerous recipes, first time through the book that I wanted to try. So far, we have liked most; one was too spicy, one too much prep work, and several took [me] longer prep time than the recipe estimate, but maybe that's just me. I am impressed with the wide variety of cuisines and flavors represented in this book as well as the variety of veggies used. I don't personally care for the newer buzz words "Paleo" and "clean" eating -- I prefer to call it healthy eating. I am glad to be able to serve my family more veggies, which are sometimes not so well-received, but these recipes present veggies sort of "incognito", and none have remained on the plate!
