I've followed Laura Lea's blog and instagram accounts for a while and I'm so glad the cookbook is finally out! She has taught me so much about healthy eating and cooking in a really practical way. I was always intimidated by all of the conflicting literature/opinions out there, but Laura Lea's approach is so approachable and realistic. My boyfriend has loved her recipes and tips too as we are both striving to live healthier and more active lives. Be sure to get a copy of this cookbook for yourself! You don't want to miss this one!!

Many use a lot of the same ingredients so it's really easy to make multiple dishes without having to spend a lot. She even suggests different recipes to make with extra ingredients in the book! If my husband will eat these healthy recipes and love them any picky eater will too.

I absolutely love Laura Lea and her recipes and have been following her blog since day 1 so when a cookbook was released I was absolutely over the moon.

There is such a great variety of all types of meals/food and all healthy and balanced. I would highly recommend this cookbook to anyone!

This is not your typical healthy cookbook. Laura Lea fantastically incorporates her passion for delicious classic food and healthy living into this book.

AND, I've never made a thing from this cookbook that my honey and I haven't absolutely devoured with lots of yummy sounds. Everything has been a win. Would recommend to a friend, or even a stranger 100% of the time.

I can't stop trying new recipes from this cookbook. Some are a lot of work, but the final product is worth it. Everything tastes so good and is full of so much flavor. I am about to order 2 more copies for my mom and sister! Enjoy y'all.

I've made MULTIPLE recipes from this cookbook and have been thrilled with every single one. She has changed the way I think about food and how I compose my meals. Several days in a row I will eat breakfast, lunch, dinner and a snack all from this book. I feel genuinely nourished by the food in this book. My kids love what I make and are learning to make healthy choices!!

This cookbook is A-MAZING! Laura has seriously thought if everything and offers various alternatives to adjust to GF and/or dairy free needs. I've bought other "health" cookbooks and while the recipes are good, you can definitely tell they're healthy.

I cleaned up our lifestyle and food a few years ago and a lot of my other cookbooks are now just shelf decor ... this one lives on the kitchen counter and is a go to multiple times a week!

Laura Lea is simply the BEST at breaking recipes down and ensuring it is something any home cook can pull off. My favorite part of this cookbook is how she breaks down substitutions, ways to use up any special ingredients, AND what to pair together.

This is my first cookbook and it's amazing.

Absolutely love this cookbook. I made the blueberry coconut porridge at it was AMAZING!! Also made the butter chicken and coconut rice and my husband absolutely loved it. Cant wait to cook more healthy recipes from this book

The cookbook was excellent and featured dishes that were approachable and familiar that were easy to prepare with available ingredients. I really liked that each recipe gave ideas to adjust for dietary needs and ideas for sides. The menu suggestions in the back were great too.

I love this cookbook. Working my way through it and have made some of the baked good. Amazing. I love that there is modifications for dietary restrictions as my son has allergies. The whipped oatmeal changed the game. The whole book focuses on clean eating not taking foods away that we love.

One of my favorite cookbooks! I have tried multiple recipes from this book already and my husband and I are hooked! The Chili recipe is our favorite so far (a crowd favorite actually - made for several friends) but you can't go wrong on any of them. I highly recommend this cookbook!

One of my favorite cookbooks!! Laura Lea's recipes are easy and taste amazing. As a nutritionist, I love her healthy recipes!! My twins are really picky... and love all of the meals I made so far. As a nashville native living in boston, I love the southern comfort recipes. Reminds me of home.

I am in love with this cookbook! Everything tastes delicious and it has such incredibly healthy ingredients. I started following Laura Lea on instagram and read about her story and I was instantly hooked. She is so inspirational and has wonderful holistic tips and tricks to living a healthy life. So happy you came out with cookbook, love it!

I am absolutely in love with this cookbook. The recipes are so innovative, easy to make and nothing but delicious. Love all the nutritional info in the front of the book too. So informative and helpful in establishing a healthy relationship with food. I can't wait to try all of her mouthwatering recipes!

I preordered this book the first day that LauRa mentioned it on her instagram stories. The details on it, the amount of recipes, the pictures, the ingredients. It is so worth it!!! I highly recommended it, it is amazing!!!

One of my absolute favorite cookbooks! All the recipes I’ve tried are delicious and so easy to make. This cookbook uses ingredients I already have around the house, instead of crazy ingredients you have to go to multiple groceries to find. Can’t rave enough about this!

There's a reason this cookbook has nothing less than a 5 star rating. It's really that good. I have many cookbooks, but most of them contain only a few recipes I revisit occasionally. This cookbook is constantly open on my counter and most of my meals are now recipes from this book or, at minimum, inspired by her way of cooking. Her recipes aren't the ones where you feel like "Oh this is good for healthy food", they are straight up amazing. Every recipes uses wholesome ingredients and the results that are easy to achieve. Another thing I appreciate about the recipes is the consistency in some of the ingredients used. You aren't forced to go out and buy one off ingredients for each recipe. You can go to the store and get a good amount of the ingredients in a single haul and they will span multiple recipes. I also appreciate her methodology of omitting calorie counting and focusing on the ingredients in the food and how they will replenish your body. 10/10 would recommend to a friend :)

the best cookbook ever! so helpful and easy to follow and best of all, all of the recipes are OUTSTANDING. have made her recipes everyday since buying this and my family loves the food as much as I do! Thank you, Laura Lea!!

love this so much!! amazing chef and person! I've already made 3 of her recipes and I won't be stopping anytime soon. I've been having headaches and stomache aches for a very long time due to my health and I truly believe with the help of her recipes and other life style changes I will be able to improve my overall health!

In addition to looking fabulous on my coffee table, this book has been a lifesaver for me! I am just now beginning to dabble with the whole 'cooking' thing and Laura Lea breaks everything down so even someone with no cooking experience whatsoever can follow it. Highly recommend to anyone and everyone!

Hands down one of my favorite cook books! Laura Lea’s recipes are simple, creative, balanced, full of flavor and easy to make. I highly recommend the daily green smoothie, Mexican spaghetti squash casserole, and every single dessert/bar!

I love that the recipes are mostly plant based, healthy and incredibly flavorful! It's like a healthy version of comfort food without fad diet labels. The desserts are my favorite part of the book. Overall a winner in my kitchen.

Obsessed with this cookbook. I am trying to change my eating lifestyle, which can be a little overwhelming and hard, but I've already tried five recipes and they are all super delicious and pretty easy! i can't wait to try all of them!

I have already made so many recipes and my family and I LOVED every single one. Delicious, satisfying, and oh so nutritious. What more could you ask for?! I am loving every minute of working my way through this cookbook. Learning lots as I go, too. Thank you, Laura Lea!!
