A friend recommended I get Ella's books after I had to remove fat from my diet for medical reasons.
Although vegan (I am not), the recipes that I have tried from this book have been really tasty.
Ella uses a lot of the same base ingredients, so you only have to stock up on a few cupboard essentials, then using lots of fresh ingredients, which is nice!
Definitely a book that I will use a lot, even when I'm back to eating normally.

About the author
Lovely Book, suitable for anyone!
This book is lovely, having enjoyed her blog and wanting to make some healthier changes decided to order the book. The recipes are nice, and having tried a few of them I am impressed! Even my husband is on board! We are not vegetarian but keen on having a few vegetarian meals per week and these will fit the bill nicely. The book also gives lots of information about whole foods which is really useful as I'm just starting out! Calorie information and a few more pictures would have been nice as that's normally my type of cookery book but actually the description is enough to entice me to cook the dish and the book itself is beautifully presented. Overall I like it so much I can't wait for the next one to come out. Feeling healthier already :) - ok so I have to say I am really impressed, having made several of the recipes now (ALL turning out delicious) the book is definitely becoming the most used book in our kitchen at the moment, yes a lot of sweet things but I actually do want to know how to make some things like that without refined sugar - the coconut porridge is just delicious and the chia pudding recipe was surprisingly good too. My daughter told me it was her favourite ice cream - that's right processed banana genuinely tricked her. The flapjacks are delicious too. Tried a couple of savoury dishes as well and they were really nice. I think this book does complement the app and is worth having. Perhaps if you know all there is to know about vegetarian/vegan cooking then this book might not interest you but I've found it really useful and liked the suggestions on how to alter the recipes etc so have lots of variation for my favourites which is great.

Tasty and healthy recipes that taste delicious and are good for you!
I hadn't heard of the Deliciously Ella blog before ordering this, but I'm always on the hunt for good whole-foods, vegan cookbooks, and once the positive reviews of this came in, I decided to order it. It's one of the loveliest cookbooks I've seen!LeanneTasty and healthy recipes that taste delicious and are good for you!

At the start of the book, Ella shares how she switched to a plant-based diet when she was ill with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome. After reading about how Kris Carr used a plant-based diet to keep her cancer at bay, Ella switched to a gluten-free, plant-based way of eating, and it helped move her into remission.
My copy only arrived yesterday, but I already made the Cinnamon Pecan Granola and the Almond and Chia Energy Bites. Each came together in just over five minutes, and are absolutely delicious. (I've included pics of each one.)
All of the recipes also use easy-to-find ingredients, and they are simple to make. You will want a high-quality blender and food processors, but otherwise you don't need any fancy equipment.
As another reviewer mentioned, the way that the recipes are organized (by Grains, Nuts and Seeds, etc.) makes it a bit harder to find recipes. On the title page for each section, there is a list of recipes, but it would have been nicer if the publisher had created a Table of Contents for the entire book since the types of recipes (breakfasts, snacks, etc.) are all mixed in the main sections.
If you're not vegan, Ella also doesn't try to proselytize or make anyone feel guilty. Instead, she encourages you to try out some of these recipes, and to even make them your own by adding meat or cheese if you prefer them that way. The recipes are so delicious, though, that nourishing your body by eating healthfully will soon become second nature. Since moving to this kind of eating a little over two years ago, I've found that I don't crave overly sugary foods, and can rely on plants for energy and all of my nutritional needs (except for B12, which I take a supplement for).
In addition to this book, I also recommend The Oh She Glows Cookbook: Over 100 Vegan Recipes to Glow from the Inside Out and Chocolate-Covered Katie: Over 80 Delicious Recipes That Are Secretly Good for You. All three of these books believe in the philosophy that you don't need to count calories, as long as you nourish yourself with healthy foods.
Bon appetit!
UPDATE ON 4-23-14: Last night I made the items in the third photo -- roasted red bell pepper hummus, quinoa tabbouleh salad, and falafel. All three were amazing and easy to make, and I think it was the best falafel I've ever had! This cookbook really is fantastic!
