DIY Nut Milks, Nut Butters & More: From Almonds to Walnuts

I bought this for a friend who is a great baker because she wanted to try something more natural. She loved it, because she could indulge her sweet tooth without exaggeration, since most of the recipes restrict added sweetners, favouring the natural ones. She also loves nuts, so this was a a double satisfaction for her.

great!

Good introduction to making nut milks and butters, with suggestions for flavour; sweeteners and dilution rates for nut milks. It got me started down the road to making my own.

Enjoyed this book, love the nut butter recipes.

Pros: This has some really nice wholesome recipes in, and lots of great photos. The use of nut pulp (the leftovers after making the milk) is a nice touch for zero waste purposes. Lots of the recipes are quite inventive and I’ve not seen them before. As a recipe book, it’s great.Cons: It’s really disappointing when a book that claims to be vegan (on the front cover), isn’t vegan and lists honey in recipes. Honey is an animal product, easily replaced with maple, agave, dandelion/flower honey, date syrup and so on - so it’s disappointing to see it listed. It’s confusing for new vegans. Just a quick look at the definition of veganism would have told the author what the word means.

With ever growing concerns about health books like this become ever more important. Most all commercial nut milks contain unwanted and unhealthy ingredients and most are not organic. Making nut milks is not that hard but if one needs recipes/guidance then this little book is a gem. In addition to making nut milks, it also contains recipes for using the leftover nut meal, for smoothies and nut butters, ice creams and cooked and uncooked dessert recipes. All recipes are vegan but one would not have to be a vegan to find this book more than useful. I made the fudge day before yesterday and I have to smack my hand away from the tray as it is so good (and easy to make). All recipes use nuts/nut milk along with fruits and coconut in various forms. This book is and will remain an integral part of my kitchen.

Este libro sienta excelentes bases de recetas con nueces y permite echar a volar la imaginacion. Es muy completo y util. Lo super recomiendo especialmente para q uienese sean veganos o crudiveganos o quieran reducir el consumo de lacteos.

One of the most useful recipe books I own! This book provides recipes for nut milks and nut butters but also so much more. There are lots of recipes using the butters and the pulp from making milk. There's also lots of information at the beginning discussing ingredients and kitchen tools.

Sapevo di aver scelto bene! Il libricino l'ho quasi terminato e non vedo l'ora di provare le ricette e i metodi descritti (con foto moooolto invitanti) per creare i miei burri, latti e dolci vegetali. Se vi interessa smettere di acquistare burri e latti vegetali e crearci dei dolci buoni e sani, questo libro non deve mancare nella vostra libreria!

Wow, I recently switched to LCHF eating plan and the results have been amazing and my blood work came back all clear and optimal health, except one thing...my cholesterol was 4 points from optima (103 instead of 99). So I wanted to incorporate more nuts and oatmeal instead of butters back into my diet and ran into this book. All I have to say is OMG, this book is amazing! I already whipped up the almond butter within minutes of getting the book and now I'm on her website trying out the truffles. The recipes are amazing, especially the caramel oats, mmmmmmmm. And another joyous thing, is that they are EASY to follow, not a lot of crazy ingredients and most are about 6 or less. Also the things she does with the pulp....absolutely amazing and so simple, I love it! and highly recommend it whether you are LCHF, primal, Vegan, etc......it's a great must have for everyone's recipe pantry and to top it off, it's not only delicious, but healthy! :)
