Well+Good Cookbook: 100 Healthy Recipes + Expert Advice for Better Living

This was one of a couple of books that I had placed in my shopping list a while back and almost did not buy as I do not eat meat and this does have a few meat based dishes. But it kept showing up in various places that I routinely read - blogs, wellness websites, heck even my LinkedIn feed so I was intrigued enough to make the purchase and I am so glad I did. It differs from your average cookbook as the recipes and lifestyle tips featured are from many health and wellness gurus as opposed to one author. People such as Mark Hyman, Kimberly Snyder, Amanda Chantal Bacon and Melissa Hensley. There are yoga people, doctors , celebrities known for wellness, lifestyle experts so this book is just an overall wellness guide peppered with short anecdotes with tips, stories or advice. The thing I ADORE about this book is the variety of innovative, interesting fresh dishes that I will use time and time again. Using different people results in so much diversity you will never get bored. There were some really interesting breakfasts such as a really pretty blue magic smoothie bowl that can be whipped up in seconds to a strawberry CBD smoothie with basil and a coffee smoothie that can replace the kids favorite frappuccino sneaking in cauliflower and taking out the sugar! The ‘Light Fare’ section begins with a spiced eggplant dish from Top Chefs Parma Lakshmi then contains dishes from jalapeño pancakes, to a light Gazpacho dish , salads, slaws and soups. The nut and seed bread is simple to whip up and a fiber powerhouse. The mains have a mix of meat, fish and vegetarian / vegan dishes. Some are simple comforting dishes such as warned lentils with a poached egg to more complex dishes but still easy enough that I would try and tackle. Sweets and snacks had some interesting surprises such as Kombucha gunnies. The tahini fudge is delicious and I have made a big batch to keep on hand when ever a sugar craving hits. However it’s not all sweet and I particularly love the fact they have a sweet onion dip that uses cashews as the base. There is a large and really interesting drinks section with alcoholic choices, spritzers, CBD coffee , matcha and activated charcoal lattes and some night time drinks that prepare you for ‘hot sex’ or ‘sweet dreams’ I cannot believe I nearly passed on this book. I love it and will use it a lot. Cannot wait to sip on some of their lattes this weekend while I decide what dish to make next.

I liked this product and gave it as a gift. It was perfect. I will say it is a little bit unique, and probably isnt an everyday dinner cook book but has lots of fun things in it to try for people that like unique and "healthier" foods!

I’ve made 6 recipes from through the book and wow, this is exactly the kind of healthy cookbook I was looking for. The flavors are bold, some are different than anything I’ve experienced and I’m overall just really impressed. I’m a decent cook and this has really expanded my exploration with food and flavors. I highly recommend! I’m including the cauliflower steak recipe and it somehow tasted was perfectly savory, and the carrot, sweet potato purée OMG 😍 👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽

The book has a nice variety of recipes. Overall I looked the book, it has great photography and the recipes are well written with a few small problems that wont affect the outcome. (For a good review of these problems read the lengthy review by BirdNest. I would add that some of the recipes that were not marked as gluten free could have easily been made gluten free with a small change. Ordinarily, I would would overlook the small errors as the don’t really affect the outcome of the recipes and give this book a five star rating. But this book represents itself as a healthy cookbook. They break the recipes down into categories like Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo, Vegetarian... but they don’t give caloric or nutritional information for the recipes. This to me is a glaring error. If you’re concerned about your nutritional health or weight loss I cannot recommend this book due to its lack of nutrition information. If you’re looking for a cookbook with overall healthy recipes this is a good cookbook to add to you collection.

I love the recipes in this book! The pictures are nice and enticing, and the recipes are clear to follow. I made two recipes from this book for a dinner party and the people liked it so much they asked for the recipes. :)

Hasn’t been a great cookbook, nothing in this jumps out as something I want to make or hold onto the book for very long. Next cleaning cycle it’s out. Glad I bought used.

I loved this book so much I bought 3 more copies for my friends and family. Recipes are simple enough to prepare within a short time frame yet they all taste delicious and they're guilt free!! Even if you're a meat eater, you'll enjoy their vegan and vegetarian meals.

Great book for healthy living. Lots of great recipes and advice!!

Fantastic ! Can’t wait to try these recipes

Me gusto mucho, todas las recetas son deliciosas y súper saludables, la calidad del papel y de las fotografías son de primera, amo amo que sea de pasta dura aunque creí que en el contenido incluiría otros temas de salud independientes a las recetas de cocina pero aún así me encanto.
