Review:I love this cookbook! I have followed Serena's blog for a very long time so was very excited when she released a book. Her recipes are delicious and hearty but still healthier than most food. My husband loves all of her recipes and always asks, "can we (a.k.a. me) try a new recipe from that awesome blog/book?!". So many great options and she is also hilarious and a great writer. Fun, approachable and delicious! Highly recommend Read more

Review:These recipes all sound delicious! I would recommend this to all my friends who like to cook. The cheese recipes are definitely worth getting the book. Also, the pizza recipes sound fabulous, I can't wait to try them. Read more

Review:I will preface this review by admitting that I used to be an LB and Hills devotee and I enjoyed the angle that Kristin brought to the shows. She was edgy and bitchy and let's face it, the guys loved her. Amazingly, this book has given me a completely different view of Kristin. She surprised me in a way, and the information she shares in this book could bring positive effects to the lives of the many young girls who will undoubtedly be reading it.

She goes into detail about her days on ... Read more

Review:Finally received this cookbook after pre-ordering a few months ago. As a working mom of two, who loves to cook, but doesn't always have the time, this is my new go-to cookbook. Easy, healthy and delicious recipes. Kudos to Kristin for delivering on a cookbook that's real and makes me want to make all of the recipes in one weekend. I'll anxiously await her next cookbook!

Review:Beautiful cook book! Love the pictures, so I know how things are supposed to turn out. Only things I don't like is that there are no calorie information or macros listed. Also, overall prep and cook time would also be helpful. Read more

Review:When I started gardening almost three years ago, I also started listening to some podcasts. Those two interests combined when I found Melissa K. Norris ([...]). I learned many gardening tips, food preservation tips and, very importantly, seed-saving tips. I couldn’t have learned to save tomato seeds the right way without her.
When I found out she was writing a book, I added it to my Amazon cart right away – four months before the release date. I am so glad I did.
The size of the book is de... Read more

Review:This book is a must-have for serious gardeners and those that live off the land. It shows you how to make your own root cellar from scratch, or how to convert a small room into a food storage room.

This book isn't just about how-to store, but also WHAT TO GROW. Not everything is best for long term storage, only certain types of particular veggies can be stored, and this book tells you what you need to grow. Read more

Review:I wanted to rate this book more highly because it does have a ton of useful information in it, and several points strongly in its favor:
* The color photos are helpful and well done
* The recipes are largely simple and easy to follow
* It covers a huge number of plants, and most of them are things people can realistically expect to find or grow themselves without trouble
* The writing is clear and easy to understand.

Unfortunately, a couple details seriously hamper the effecti... Read more

Review:Audrey has simplified my life with this book! It is easy to follow and the recipes are easy to prepare. I am about ready to get rid of 42 years of cookbooks and make this my holy grail We have already made the guacamole dip and tomorrow we are doing the ranch dip. Highly recommend this for anyone as a healthy alternative Read more

Review:This was fun, mostly because of all the photographs of Frances Mayes' now famous and lovely Tuscan home. The recipe collection is not extensive, but it is exactly what you need for inspiration to create the ambiance, taste and feeling of the fresh, life-affirming cuisine of Tuscany at home. Read more
