Ratings and reviews

Stuffed! by Marlena Kur The Art of the Edible Vegetable Boat Marlena Kur, creator of Zest My Lemon on Instagram has broken the book into eleven chapters all dealing with creative ways to “stuff” peppers, cucumbers, eggplants, sweet potatoes, squash, mushrooms, baked potatoes, avocados, tomatoes, zucchinis, and various fruits. The photography is gorgeous and made me want to take a bite more than once. Each recipe was colorful and delicious sounding. Some might be easier to assemble and keep together than others as some vegetables are rounder than others. The ideas for fillings no doubt could be interchangeable with Philly steak filling in a potato instead of a pepper or hummus in a cucumber instead of a pepper. So many ideas and now I am thinking of other stuffings to try in various food “boats”. Some of the ideas that I wrote down are: The sweet potato with s’mores topping – oh my – would love to try chocolate and marshmallow on a sweet potato someday! Oatmeal in a squash with a lot of tasty additions? I can definitely see that as a delicious meal sometime in the future. I can also see this for brunch or perhaps even served in a B&B somewhere. Shepherd’s Pie potato boats…intriguing idea…hmm…or filled with moussaka Buffalo Chicken potato boats…yum! Okay…did not know that the author of this gorgeous book with intriguing recipes had a website or Instagram presence so am off to join and do some more sleuthing and recipe reading. Thank you to Quarto Publishing & NetGalley for the ARC – This is my honest review. 5 Stars
