Merchant (blogger, How Sweet Eats; Seriously Delish) prefaces each recipe with a brief, personal introduction and selects recipes that are focused on fresh, on-trend ingredients and styles (breakfast and dinner bowls, coconut oil, and blood oranges are well represented). Abundant, full-page photographs show off the dishes, while the writing focuses on themes such as nostalgia, how -millennials cook, and the importance of creating delicious food with minimal prep time. The sections on book club-ready snacks and cocktails are useful for party planning, as is a list of suggested menus for a variety of gatherings. Food recipes are complemented by suggested playlists and a selection of recipes for homemade products (masks, exfoliants, and moisturizers). VERDICT This well-illustrated, clearly written book will appeal to fans of Merchant's blog as well as those looking for quick, on-trend recipes.- Rebecca Brody, Westfield State Univ., MA © Copyright 2018.
