Inspiralized and Beyond Cookbook Cover Reveal

I can’t believe I’m sharing the cover of my THIRD cookbook with all of you...

Inspiralized and Beyond

I can’t believe I’m sharing the cover of my THIRD cookbook with all of you right now, Inspiralized and Beyond.

I couldn’t be more thankful for all of you, for giving me the opportunity to write not ONE, not TWO, but THREE cookbooks.

And unlike the first two cookbooks, this cookbook includes non-spiralized recipes. Yes, that’s right! Those recipes are the “and Beyond” part of “Inspiralized and Beyond.” There are so many reasons why I’m excited for this extension of Inspiralized, so let me explain everything about this new book.

And if you can’t wait to read the post, you can already go ahead and pre-order Inspiralized and Beyond! It publishes on May 1st!

Writing cookbooks is a lengthy, exhausting and extremely rewarding process. It’s funny because while you’re in the middle of writing and recipe testing a cookbook, you swear you’ll never write another cookbook again and then as soon as it’s over and you are holding that gorgeous book in your hand, you immediately want another! It’s just like having a real baby, haha!

I am so proud of Inspiralized and Inspiralize Everything. I always save my best, most creative, tastiest, and think-outside-of-the-box spiralized recipes for my cookbooks. I spend the most time on developing and testing these recipes, and I make them the most at home (for instance, I’ve made the Chicken Cacciatore with Rutabaga Noodles from Inspiralize Everything probably 20 times. If you haven’t tried it yet, do it!)

But while I love sharing spiralized recipes with you all, it’s not exactly a picture of how I personally eat. Yes, I eat spiralized food every week, multiple times a week, but I don’t eat inspiralized at every meal and some days, I don’t eat a spiralized veggie at all! Gasp.

That’s why I couldn’t be more excited to have written a cookbook that contains a full reflection of how I eat on a daily basis: a combination of spiralized and non-spiralized meals. And now, I finally get to share all of these recipes with you.

After posting a lot of my non-spiralized meals on Instagram and having so many of you ask me for the recipes and not being able to share them on the blog because they’re not spiralized, I am finally free to share them! And I’m doing that in my next cookbook, Inspiralized and Beyond.

However, the theme of these new recipes is the same as that of spiralizing: taking vegetables and turning them into a complete meal, a healthier version of one of your favorite classics. For example, “zucchini noodles” replace pasta. In my next cookbook, for example, “Sweet Potato Skin Nachos” uses the crispy skin of sweet potatoes to replace chips.

Everything in Inspiralized and Beyond showcases a new and exciting way to prepare vegetables in a creative, satisfying way. These are the recipes that I eat on a daily basis to banish diet boredom forever.

Here are some other things that you can expect from cookbook #3:

  • All the recipes are 100% brand new! That means that you can’t and won’t find the recipes in the cookbook on this blog.
  • The recipes are meant to be full, satisfying meals (from breakfast to dessert!)
  • The cookbook is organized by course, from Breakfast all the way to Desserts. Personally, my favorite chapter is Sides & Appetizers – you’ll die over the Zucchini Pork Dumplings. But, the Avocado Chocolate Chip Ice Cream with Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies are pretty outstanding, too (the brownies are grain-free!)
  • There are the following categories so that you can easily find recipes that satisfy your dietary preferences. These indicators include:
    • Dairy or dairy optional (dairy optional means that the cheese can be taken out and won’t change the dish!)
    • Paleo
    • Gluten-Free
    • Vegetarian & Vegan
    • Under 300 calories
    • One Pot
    • Saves Well
  • All recipes include nutritional information!

Some of my favorite recipe titles include:

  • Flourless Breakfast Crêpes with Peaches and Sunflower Butter
  • Autumn Brussels Sprouts Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust
  • Ricotta and Fig Golden Beet Crostini with Honey
  • Sweet Potato Skin Nachos
  • Mini Wedge Salads with Tofu Bacon Bits and Hearts of Palm Dressing
  • Stracciatella Soup with Broccoli Noodles
  • Buffalo Cauliflower Salad with Avocado and Vegan Ranch
  • Potato Toast with Green Pea Avocado Mash, Shaved Egg, and Radishes
  • Vegetarian Meatball Sub in Zucchinis (the cover recipe!)
  • Shredded Brussels Sprouts Carbonara with Peas and Pancetta
  • Creamy Fajita Zucchini and Bell Pepper Pasta with Chicken Sausage
  • Eggplant Rolls with Chicken Schwarma and Tahini Drizzle
  • Collard Green Manicotti
  • Veggie-Quinoa-Chili Stuffed 8-Ball Zucchini
  • Pork Milanese with Burst Tomatoes and Zucchini Noodles
  • Turkey Burrito Bowls with Avocado Jicama Rice
  • Mint Chocolate Chip Avocado Ice Cream with Mexican Hot Chocolate Brownies

Last but not least, you’ll see a few appearances by Lu AND this time, Luca! My favorite page of the entire book is the dedication, which I can’t wait for you to see! Despite being 6-weeks post-partum, I look at these photos with such happiness and love. I can’t wait to show Luca this cookbook once he’s old enough to understand.

  • Congratulations Ali! I am so excited to get your new cookbook. The cover is great and i am so excited you are going beyond spiralized meals this time. I love the spiralized meals but there is a need for more out of the box recipes for grain free people who are also pescatarian. I fall into that category. Thank You, so look forward to getting your new book and i know the recipes are going to rock. I love your recipes and love you too. :)
  • Pre-ordered! I read your first cookbook Christmas Day 2015 after losing 35lbs in the previous 4 months on a weight-loss plan (in retrospect, it wasn't the most healthy plan). Your book changed my outlook on food when I needed it most and was a catalyst to starting my journey to a healthier relationship with REAL FOOD. Thanks for being you and sharing your story + gift. It makes a difference in whole lives.
  • YAY! I'm a huge fan of your other two cookbooks so can't wait to get your THIRD book! Amazing.
  • Ordered! You had me at sweet potato skin nachos.
  • This new cookbook sounds amazing! Congratulations! Your cookbooks & blog have changed the way my husband and I think about veggies & cook together at home, and I am so thankful for that. Keep up the awesome work!
  • Your new cookbook sounds intriguing can't wait to see all your new recipes! My husband loves a lot of your inspiralized recipes. For Christmas, he went out and bought me a new attachment for my Kitchenaid Mixer. The attachment turns my cucumbers and zucchini into sheets. So now we spiralize our veggies and wrap them in veggie wrappers! They are so good. Also, I can make sheets of zucchini to use for lasagna. I'm sure you could incorporate some fillings to put in the veggie sheets. Thanks again for your new cookbook, I can hardly wait to get it!
  • Absolutely Can't WAIT for your new cook book- I just pre-ordered it ! Thank you for always being an inspiration! You've made my life truly "inspiralized! " :)
  • Ali! I am SOOO excited for you! I have already pre-ordered this new baby, which will find it's new home next you your other masterpieces on my cookbook shelf.

  • So excited for you Ali. An inspiration for all young women striving to be both momma and business person. 3rd cookbook ordered and will proudly placenext to your other two when not being used.
  • Can't wait for the next cookbook! Beautiful cover Ladybird4Love
  • Ali I love parsnips and, as a new spiralizer cook, am intrigued by a recipe of yours on pages 166-168 of Inspiralize Everything. But I am also confused a bit. In the 4th step of the directions it states, "Wipe the skillet from the chicken clean and spray generously with cooking spray" This is a confusing step because nowhere in the previous three (3) steps of directions is there any mention of a skillet or cooking the chicken in a skillet. In later versions of the cookbook, if there was one, was this error in the copy edited? Or is a step regarding cooking the chicken in a skillet missing. I edit copy for my husband's projects and know it's easy to miss mistakes. Thank you for any help you can give me with this.
  • This is the most "Inspiralized"-branded cover of them all, in my opinion. I LOVE it! I use spiralized daikon (it was the first time I've tried daikon in general) tonight in our pho and it was so good — even my guy enjoyed it. We didn't miss the regular noodles whatsoever! I can't wait to pick up and flip through this new book of yours. You've inspired me for years with spiralizing and beyond! Congrats, Ali!
    • That is so sweet of you to say, Lauren! We appreciate all of your support.
