Recipe Review
This Winter Vegetable Risotto was probably the best vegan recipe I have ever made. Well . . my awesome husband made it for me but I was the taste tester and review writer 🙂. The creamy-savory-buttery-cheesy sauce is unlike any other vegan sauce I have ever tried. The starchy water from the rice cooking helped make the sauce creamy.
Honestly, this is also the first time I have had risotto so it might have helped that I wasn’t comparing the taste to an omnivore version. You really do end up venturing out and trying so many new things when learning to cook WFBP food. When eating meat and dairy, it is easy to just stick with with a few favourite recipes. After all, almost anything tastes good smothered in butter or cheese. However, when cooking plant based meals you have to be more intentional about adding flavor to your dishes so you inevitably end up trying something new. This was also my first time trying parsnips.

This post is part of the Forks Over Knives Cookbook Project, an effort to post pictures and reviews of all 300+ recipes to help you decide which recipe is worth cooking. The cookbook only has a few photos so hopefully people find it helpful to see what the recipes look like once prepared.
I also wouldn’t want anyone new to this way of eating to get discouraged by spending a lot of time and effort on recipes that don’t taste amazing, since WFPB food can definitely taste great. I apologise about the lack of a recipe included but I cannot post it for copyright reasons. However, many of their recipes can be found on their website or their app if you don’t have the cookbook.
