[Lisa Vegan · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everyone who knows me knows that I'm not the biggest fan of most nuts, but this book is absolutely irresistible. The recipes are superb and some are very creative, using nuts in ways that the average nut lover would not have imagined. And almost all of them look delicious, even to me! There is also helpful information about nuts, including their nutritional breakdowns. This is a very complete and useful book.
