Editorial Reviews

"One of Amazon’s Best Books of the Month in Cookbooks, Food & Wine

"Not too fussy or overly complicated, the recipes are inspired by the plant-based way Duclos eats and feeds her 5-year-old daughter, Marlowe."

Palm Beach Post

"The Plantiful Table is a fantastic book to get the entire family excited about healthy eating and dipping your toe into more whole-food recipes. Drea’s love for being a mother and mother earth shines through each recipe!"

Duclos’s approach to healthy eating is attainable and inviting.
