If I could only have one food for the rest of my life, I’d choose tacos.

And pizza. And cheeseburgers. And brownies .

Ugh. This is a hard mental exercise.

But you get the gist of what I’m saying, right? Basically, I really love tacos.

So naturally, when I received Jeanine’s new book, The Love & Lemons Cookbook, I gravitated straight towards her recipe for Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Cream. Because really, what better way is there to judge the merits of a entire cookbook than by it’s taco recipes? Quality tacos are IMPORTANT and should be taken very seriously. You know I’m totally right about this .

And based on the results of these Roasted Cauliflower Tacos with Chipotle Cream, I’m happy to report that I can give The Love & Lemons Cookbook a glowing 5-star review!

Psst…I’m giving away a copy of The Love & Lemons Cookbook to one lucky reader. Keep reading!


Jeanine’s blog, Love & Lemons, has been a favorite of mine for a long time now. Her photography is bright and beautiful. And her recipes are fresh, unique and uncomplicated. Jeanine makes vegetarian cooking both exciting and accessible. And that’s what has kept me, and so many other readers, coming back to her site week after week.

Not surprisingly, Jeanine’s cookbook gives off the same vibes as her blog. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks pouring over my copy, preparing my nightly dinners from it’s pages. And it’s already starting to show the telltale signs of a well loved cookbook: smudges, stains and dog-eared corners. I don’t see it leaving my kitchen anytime soon .

The Love & Lemons Cookbook is so much more than just a simple collection of recipes. Organized by ingredient, this cookbook will become your go-to reference guide when you accidently buy 10 pounds of fresh berries at the farmers market (oops!), or when your summer garden is exploding with zucchini. Treat it like an encyclopedia for fruits and vegetables, and let it help you learn to cook with what’s currently in season and abundant. Also, Jeanine has added some really cool mix and match charts at the back of the book that will have you easily transforming your kitchen staples (like pesto and guacamole) into something new and exciting. And who doesn’t love that?
