It's December 2nd and my cookbook will be out in just 19 days! Can someone please pinch me? It still feels incredibly surreal. But it's happening, and I have two very special things to share with you today: a sneak peek into the book and a BIG giveawaywith over $1000 in prizes, including my favorite plant-powered products, kitchen gadgets, and pantry staples (Note: the giveaway will run up through December 19th!)
Without further ado, let's get to it.
First order of business: that special sneak peek (plus some behind-the-scenes details).
Over the last two years, I've poured every bit of my heart, mind, and soul into this book. From the 200+ initial recipe concepts, over 150 recipes went on to be tested in our kitchen. Those that made the cut then went on to be tested by the generous hands of friends and family members who provided thoughtful insights and feedback over the course of 8 months. Of the 140 or so recipes that made it to the manuscript, over 115 made the final cut.
Nearly 15,000 photos were snapped with my own trigger-happy fingers from the comforts of our guest bedroom, living room, office—wherever the light was best at any given moment—over the course of ten months. Of those photos, too many were edited and over 100 were ultimately selected for the cookbook.
Countless hours were spent writing in an effort to tuck personal anecdotes, life stories, inspiration, and encouragement into every nook and cranny. The headnotes are filled with memories, stories, tips, and tricks, and there's an entire chapter dedicated to plant-powered pantry staples. I wrote and rewrote the introduction four times—scrapping versions 1, 2, and 3—until I finally found the courage to write the introduction I had hoped to write all along. I bared my heart and shared a story I've never before shared. I started writing this cookbook because it seemed like a fun adventure; I finished it because something in my heart had to.
This cookbook isn't about deprivation, dieting, "clean" eating, or outward appearances; it's about eating in a way that allows us to thrive and honors our bodies, minds, and hearts while also maintaining an attitude of self-compassion and flexibility (as opposed to perfection). True healthfulness isn't about what we deprive ourselves of, it's about what we nourish ourselves with—sometimes it's kale, sometimes it's cookies.
All 100+ recipes in the cookbook are whole foods, plant-based, and they were designed to satiate and elate everyone's tastebuds—not only vegans'. I made it my mission to create plant-based recipes that nourish from the inside out without sacrificing an ounce of flavor, so every recipe in the book has been approved and praised by non-vegans—mostly meat-eaters, in fact.
Other Fun Facts
Brand new recipes + highly visual. 100+ recipes (118, to be exact), 100+ photos. About 100 recipes are brand-new, never seen before, and the select handful of blog favorites (many of them pantry staples) have been revamped, revised, remixed, and rephotographed. For instance, the book includes a triple remix of my favorite smoothie, almond butter maca madness smoothie, with three flavor variations—original, cacao crunch, and vanilla chai spice. Plus it counts as just one recipe, so you're getting a lot of bang for your plant-passionate buck.
Allergy-friendly. All recipes include allergy badges to indicate whether they're gluten-free, nut-free, grain-free, soy-free, refined-sugar-free, oil-free, and raw or have an option to become so (see the notes that follow each recipe for specific substitutions). All recipes are vegan and nearly all are also gluten-free and refined-sugar-free (can only think of two or so exceptions). Most are also nut-free and soy-free, and many are grain-free and oil-free.
Badges + tips to simplify. Recipes that require lengthy chilling, soaking, freezing, etc. are identified with a "prepare-ahead" badge. Whenever possible, recipes also include tips to simplify in the notes that follow the recipe!
10 Recipe Chapters. In addition to the Introduction and Blissful Kitchen chapters, there are 10 chapters packed with vibrant recipes, including Breakfast + Brunch (14 recipes), Smoothies + Juices (9 recipes), Snacks + Appetizers (15 recipes), Soups + Salads (11 recipes), Power Bowls (7 recipes), Sandwiches, Tacos + Pizza (10 recipes), Pasta + Noodles (7 recipes), Veggie-Centric Mains (7 recipes), Sophisticated Sweets + Simple Treats (16 recipes), Homemade Staples (22 recipes). The Veggie-Centric Mains chapter features plant-centered twists on traditionally meat- or cheese-heavy dishes and the Power Bowls, Sandwiches, Tacos + Pizza, and Pasta + Noodles chapters include entrée recipes by category. Thus, in total there are a whopping 31 entrée recipes in the book!
Sneak Peek Video
Here's a sneak peek video with a few of my favorite snapshots from each of the 10 recipe chapters plus video footage from my first look at the book in print!

Gratitude, hugs + high fives.
Tribest Solostar 4 Juicer Gift Pack
Solostar 4 Juicer (in Chrome), Juicing for the Health of It by Siegfried Gursche + the Zstar Manual Conversion Kit (for manual juicing—e.g., wheatgrass shots).
Tribest's Solostar 4 is my absolute favorite juicer. It's a masticating juicer, which yields more juice and less oxidation than a centrifugal juicer. I've been using this juicer for over a year (after using a centrifugal juicer for two years) and love it. Here are a few of the perks I've noticed with the Solostar 4:
It yields 1 ½ to 2 times the juice with about ¼ of the waste that I typically had when running a similar amount of produce through my centrifugal juicer.
The color of the juice is more vibrant in color and flavor. Plus, there's less oxidation than with my centrifugal juicer, which means the juice lasts longer.
It juices hard-to-juice produce like a pro. Think kale, ginger, turmeric, cilantro, and parsley.

Cuisinart Custom 14—14 Cup Food Processor
As a vegan, a quality food processor is an essential kitchen tool to make and create a satisfying range of meals. Over the years, I've had the opportunity to use several brands of food processors, but Cuisinart's 14-Cup Food Processor reigns supreme in my kitchen. So much so that it was the sole food processor I used to create and test the 100+ recipes in my cookbook, and it's the only one I recommend. It has the power to process tricky-to-process ingredients and the endurance to whirl for the long-haul, which is a major perk if you're wanting to make homemade nut butters, coconut butter, etc. There isn't a week, rarely a day even, that goes by when I don't use it!
MSRP $199 | See here for more | cuisinart.com
One-Year Subscription to RawSpiceBar
You'll receive three freshly ground spice kits direct to your door each month. Plus, you can personalize your recipes with RawSpiceBar's Flavor Profile Quiz!
MSRP $72 | rawspicebar.com
Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts, Hemp Heart Toppers + More
2 bags of Manitoba Harvest's Hemp Hearts + 4 bags of Hemp Heart Toppers + 3 single-serve bags of Hemp Heart Bites. Manitoba Harvest is one of my absolute favorite brands, and you'll be able to put these Hemp Hearts to good use when cooking from the book!
MSRP $65 | See here for more | manitobaharvest.com
Sprout Living Plant-Based Protein
1 bag of Sprout Living's Epic Protein + 1 bag Pumpkin Seed Protein + 1 Sample Kit of all four Epic Protein flavors + 1 branded shaker. Sprout Living is my go-to plant-based protein—see this post for more details!
MSRP $85 | sproutliving.com
Glass Straws from Glass Dharma
4 eco-friendly straws from GlassDharma. There are the only straws I use, and you'll find them sprinkled throughout the cookbook in smoothie and shake photos!
MSRP $25 | glassdharma.com
$50 Gift Package of My Favorite Baking Goodies
1.5-pound bag Terrasoul Raw Cacao Butter, 1-pound bag Terrasoul Raw Cacao Powder, 22-ounce bag Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Oat Flour, 3 (16-ounce) bags Madhava Organic Coconut Sugar, and 2 (10-ounce) bags Enjoylife Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks. (Included in grand prize and as stand-alone prize for two runners-up.)

In addition I want to express how amazing your cookbook looks and how exited I am!! I have a tree nut allergy and love accessible/convienent you make cooking healthy recipes for me is!
This post was truly inspiring! Keep doing you! Thank you so much!
gina m paesani-smith says
your book looks amazing - will get one for sure. I loved the sweet video :) I have been on a plant based journey for 6 months and am now off my blood pressure meds and down 50 pounds. Thank you for making this journey easier.
Danielle Johnson says
I have following your blog for about a year now and would love to win your cookbook. The video of you opening it and crying warmed my heart! I have your cookbook on my Christmas list and have given my husband multiple hints that my cookbook shelf could use just one more addition...yours! :)
I own that food processor and you're right- it's the BEST! We got it as a wedding gift from some plant-based friends of ours and we use it almost weekly. Our favorite things to make in it are banana nice cream and homemade almond butter!
Veronique Daoust says
Congratulations! That video made me tear up. So happy for you! I'm most looking forward to trying Every. Single. Recipe. Also my food processor recently broke and I've been devastated and unable to afford a replacement. This couldn't have come at a more perfect time!
Janet Gillam says
Wow!!! Congratulations!! I am super excited for your cookbook! I can't wait to see all the new yummies it brings! Pre ordering mine as soon as I finish this comment. I would love to win the prize package especially the juicer. I have been buying a drink at the local market that has turmeric and ginger in it because Incant juice my own. This would be so helpful and bring me great holiday joy!!!!
Pia says
Everything about your book sounds and looks absolutely fantastic, Ashley! I can totally understand your excitement and I'm excited for you, too. Congrats :)
Natalie Cartledge says
I would love to have this book because would be a most welcome addition to my vegan cookbook library!
Donna F. says
Congratulations on the cookbook! I would love to win especially since I've had a juicer on my wishlist for what seems like forever and all the other prizes sound so amazing too! Also looking forward to trying all the new delicious recipes in the book!
Lauren says
so excited this moment has finally come! I've been following Blissful Basil since the beginning and I was always secretly praying that you would release your own cookbook some day! struggling with celiac and trying to eat more of a whole foods diet, I have seriously come to enjoy using your recipes in my home :) I'm most excited to see everything you've created especially the veggie centric mains! So proud of your accomplishments! I really got emotional watching your video. keep following your dreams <3
Mandy says
I can't wait to get a copy of the cookbook!
Rose K. says
Looking forward to gift the cookbook to family members who are looking to get on the right track in 2017.
Ronda says
I would like to win because I took a break from overwhelming task of reading juicer reviews to look at this post, where, OMG!, you're giving away a juicer! As for the cookbook, I love (LOVE!) the fact that there is a picture of every recipe and that the book includes something called Crispy Cauliflower Tacos with Slaw + Avocado Cream. Because that sounds ahhh-mazing. I need both of these things in my life.
Ronda says

Vivian Weissmann says
So happy for you and so proud; what an accomplishment. Your video showed all those wonderful photos of the great dishes in the book, so, yes, I would love to have your book and make some fantastic food and know that I'm staying healthy!

I'd love to win this contest because my food processor died several months ago and I've been putting off buying a new one until after the holidays. So I'd love to win this!
Ellen Lederman says
I'd love to win because my 20 year old food processor isn't doing so well---and because I am too cheap to buy juice out, so a juicer at home would enable me to enjoy liquid goodness.
In terms of what I am looking forward to from the cookbook, I'd like a dessert recipe that is as good as the carrot cake with cashew cream cheese frosting! But mainly it's being able to hold an old-school, analog cookbook! Much as I love your blog, sometimes I like to be off the computer (especially the last hour before bed). Your cookbook (which I should have by the middle of this week, according to Amazon) is about more than just recipes for me---it will be a vibrant celebration of a healthy, compassionate lifestyle.
Karlie says
So beautiful I can't wait to see this book! Your recipes are some of my favorites and always gorgeously shot.
tara says
Hi Ashley,
Congratulations on your new cookbook!!! I've already pre-ordered your book through Amazon and so excited for it to get here. I love the way you have incorporated your soul into this book. Eating plant based is so much more than just not eating meat. It's fueling our bodies with love and goodness from the earth and taking care of the planet in the process.
I can also relate to the way you reacted to opening your box of books. I am also in the process of writing my first book and it feels like my baby. It's such a sacred journey of our unfolding, no matter what the topic. it's our hearts poured out onto the page for the world to see. Much love and gratitude for you Ashely
Christi says
First off, congratulations on your cookbook, you're an inspiration! I'm most excited about trying new meals (getting to play with food in the kitchen!). I made the switch to cooking vegan based recipes a few years ago and am always looking for ways to incorporate a plant based diet into my wellness goals. Cheers to social media and finding you through the "Oh She Glows" Instagram takeover!
Jessica Dang Norby says
So so happy for you, Ashley! I'm most excited to dive into this cookbook because I'm inspired to try new meals that are centered around plants and wholesome ingredients!!
Lauren ferrante says
Your cookbook is going to be amazing! I am very excited for you and for everyone who gets their hands on it, including me! I have used many recipes from your blog as part of my healing journey and look forward to adding many more to my kitchen and my body. I would love to win this giveaway so I can have these tools to create your inspiring recipes! Congratulations and thank you for doing what you do!
Sarah | Well and Full says
The video of you opening your box of books is so adorable!! I had the hugest smile on my face watching it! :)
Sara says
I'm so excited about this cookbook. The pre-order is on my Christmas wishlist at Amazon, so I"m not going to be able to enter that way. I've been diagnosed with IBS in the past year and one of the big dietary changes I've had to make is cutting back a TON on how much meat I eat.
I found your blog a few years ago when I was going to farmer's markets more often for inspiration and I've been on and off following. When I had to make a big shift in my diet for my health, this was the first place I stopped to pin recipe ideas. You have yet to lead me astray and I'd love getting an entry to this contest so I can continue finding foods I can eat that are delicious and satisfying but without causing any unpleasant symptoms.
<3
Eva Kowalewicz says
Congrats Ashley!
Val Graves says

Karen c says

Zoe says
A billion congratulations on your cookbook Ashley! I've only just come across your blog today and I honestly haven't gotten up from my spot on the sofa for 3 hours. (I've started eating mostly plant based/wholefoods recently and going through new cookbooks and websites finding yummy recipes makes me happy????).
Anyway, your blog is incredible!!! I have fallen way too far in love with your recipes, escpecially the smoothies and plant based mains, the gorgeous set out, lovely bits of personal opinions and stories you always put at the start of your posts and beautiful photography. So you can rest assured I'm going to be putting your cookbook at the top of my wishlist, as well as drop many subtle-ish hints to my parents about it! (I'm most excited for the Breakfast and Brunch section - dying to see the smoothie recipes! - with Veggie Centric Mains and Power Bowls coming a very close second)
I'd say why I would love to win, but reading through all the other comments so far, everyone else have basically said what I was going to say (to round them all up - it looks amazing, the recipes look amazing and you are amazing.) So I'll just say, I'm so happy for you (the video of you crying was so sweet and by the way I love your cat) and I am so, so excited to start following your blog religiously and trying as many recipes as I can!
I'm so sorry, I've written a full on paragraph, but I wish you could see how much you and your blog have inspired me in the space of a few hours- I feel like I know you so well. To finish up, (haha this is actually an essay) I absolutely can't wait to get your cookbook!!!!
Love Zoe xxx

I have come to really enjoy and appreciated your blog and am so very excited for your cookbook! I am a dietetics major and have been interested in baking, food and nutrition since I was little. Everything about this giveaway is exciting!!! My mom is indeed of a food processor and I love all the nutritious baking ingredients, however, I am quite poor at the moment, paying for college and what not:) that I can't always indulge myself! Therefore, I'd like to win so that I could give my mom a quality food processor and bake with ingredients I love! Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!!!
PAT WILK says
I love to get the Blissful Basil recipes to my inbox and am always finding myself either saving them to my iPad or printing them off at work. I dont often use cookbooks but do have a few of my faves and Blissful Basil would be one for sure!!!! The recipes are fabulous , beautiful and yummy to boot.
I find I am most grounded and at ease when I am creating nourishing, lovely food in my small quaint kitchen and all the wonderful gifts in the draw would add to my creative sanctuary.

I am most looking forward to making healthy yet tasty recipes from the Blissful Basil cookbook.

The Blissful Basil cookbook has a vast variety of recipes such as meals and treats anyone would truly enjoy.

Congratulations on the release! Can't wait to dive in!
Mel | A Virtual Vegan says
Your book is wonderful Ashley. I really enjoyed reviewing it and have had trouble doing any recipe development of my own since it arrived because I keep wanting to cook things from your book instead! It's clear that you put your heart and soul into it and you did an amazing job. I wish you every success with it :O)
Ashley says
Thank you for this—seriously brought the biggest smile to my face. Thrilled to hear you're enjoying the book so much and even more touched that the heart that went into creating it is felt on the flip side. Hope you're having a beautiful start to the new year! xo
