Editorial Reviews

"This is more than a cookbook—Sarah simplifies the steps of eating well and taking care of yourself. There is so much noise telling us what is ‘healthy,’ and I am grateful that Sarah boils it down and gives us all the practical steps in this book. It is a thoughtful and beautiful reference for both people who are comfortable in the kitchen and those ready to learn. Simply Real Eating is a book to keep on the counter to stay inspired in the kitchen and in your daily pursuit of wellness."

Robyn Conley Downs

"I’ll be honest, I only bought cookbooks so they could sit prettily on my open shelving and make me look domestic . . . until Sarah Adler came into my world. As someone who has felt overwhelmed with diet culture, healthy eating, and limited by time, I’ve never really followed through. Enter: Simply Real Eating. Not only does Sarah’s smile make my kitchen a little brighter, but this book makes healthy eating approachable, exciting, and EASY. This one is a game changer and a resource that I wish I had years ago."

Nutrition coach Adler focuses on relatively simple and quick recipes using "whole food" ingredients, focusing on veggies, grains, and beans. However, there are also quite a few recipes with meat, primarily fish or chicken, as well as desserts and drinks. Besides the recipes themselves, the book includes a substantial introduction with suggestions on how to cook more frequently, along with healthy lifestyle tips and rituals. Written in a conversational and personal style, the text can be cutesy, and there is a tendency toward trendy ingredients, such as turmeric, matcha, and broccoli "rice." The recipes themselves, though, are simple and straightforward, and most are accompanied by full-page photos. There is a complete index at the end, along with a few handy conversion charts. VERDICT Adler offers ways to get a healthy, attractive meal on the table quickly. Purchase where there is interest.—Susan Hurst, Miami Univ. Libs., Oxford, OH
