I’ve been collecting cookbooks for the past 30 years and have amassed a collection of over 300+ books. Some of them are your specialty cookbooks from famous chefs and others are community books from small town America. One of the best ways you can break out of a cooking and/or baking rut is to invest in a new book & challenge yourself to make at least 25% of the recipes in it.
Today I’m excited to introduce you to a brand new cookbook to my collection.
Title: The Happy Cookbook
Author: Lola Berry
Publisher: St. Martin’s Press
ISBN: 978-1-250092274
The Happy Cookbook contains 130 wholefood recipes for health, wellness, and a little extra sparkle. It’s written by Lola Berry, Australia’s favorite nutritionist. Her cooking is fresh, vibrant and jam-packed full of flavor. In this book Lola shares 130 recipes based around nutritionally dense wholefoods, which are gluten-free and wheat-free, with very little dairy and no refined sugar.
High-energy breakfast recipes include:
Crunchy Paleo Granola
Vanilla & Blueberry Oaty Pikelets
18 Different Smoothie Combos
Vegans & Vegetarians and meat-eaters will appreciate:
Raw Falagel with Cashew Aioli
Spicy Pepita, Kale & Buckwheat Salad
Chicken Mole with Lime Quinoa
Aussie Beef Burger on a Paleo Bun
Along with the nutritious and delicious recipes, Lola discusses the other key pillars of good health, including exercise, mindfulness, sleep and mental health. Her recipes are not about substitutions or restrictions, they’re about eating food in its purest & most delicious form.
I love this new cookbook addition to my kitchen library. It has some great recipes in it along with mouth-watering foodie photography. Each recipe has a list of ingredients, along with full preparation directions. You’ll find some helpful prep & serving tips along the way too.
I know we’re in the middle of summer, but I couldn’t resist. I whipped up her Pumpkin Pie Smoothie recipe and oh my gosh…it was delicious! You only need a handful of ingredients to make it and it whips up super quickly. After I get to the grocery store next weekend, I want to whip up her Coconana-Berry Smoothie recipe. If you love smoothies, you’ll LOVE this section in her cookbook!
