Really nice cookbook with clean, approachable recipes. The focus on feeling better through food is something I appreciate.

Great for everyday cooking, especially if you’re trying to eat a little lighter without giving up flavor.

This book is amazing! So much flavor and easy batch meal prep for the week and how to combine things together for a quick meal. I also learned a lot about using different veggies I was not used to (turned out great because instructions and recipes are easy to follow). So many things from scratch that sounds complicated but so easy with this book. So far everything I have made have tasted delicious.

I love this book and the recipes in it! Everything is easy to make and incredibly delicious! I love the modifications offered and her personal story that lead her to her transformed eating is something I deeply resonated with.

A lot good recipes and interesting ones and good information

This book changed my life. So many excellent suggestions on managing health with easy-to-do options for improving gut health, promoting weight loss, and cleaner cooking. I bought this as the pandemic was ending, and I had gained weight. Following the prep in advance ideas, reducing processed foods, and increasing greens allowed me to lose nearly 20 pounds healthily. Yes, there are some pasta recipes in here, but like anything else, practice moderation, but lean on the ones that suit your tastes. Well done, Giada. I've bought this book several times for friends, and they all find something useful from it.

Giada's cookbooks have long been a favorite of mine. I don't use cookbooks all that often. I am a trained chef and my approach is to buy ingredients that look good when at the store and figure out what to make later--using my own background of knowledge and creativity. But, when I do use a cookbook, it is often one of Giada's. They are all beautifully made and feature dishes of my favorite cuisine. The recipes are usually neither overly complex or obscure. But, I don't consider a lot of the recipes in those cookbooks because many of the recipes include and often feature meat. I don't eat beef or pork. So, this new cookbook is just perfect for me. We are now of like minds when it comes to preparing healthy food. She begins by telling the story of how she arrived at this new healthy food philosophy. In doing so, she shows a very human side of herself. She has developed a diet that is stricter and healthier than what I have been doing. I am not at this time about to adopt her suggestions entirely, but, the beauty of the cookbook is that one can go whole hog (a pun), try out a more moderate path, or just pick and choose recipes that catch the eye. One can ignore the healthy philosophy behind all of this, skip the first chapters, and go straight to trying out recipes. I have never been disappointed in any dish I have made using one of her cookbooks. Great that she has added a lot of healthy alternatives and meat-free dishes to her vast collection of recipes.

It’s not what I expected. There isn’t enough recipes.

I’ve been following Giada for a bit and was definitely intrigued when I heard about this book (probably because I hadn’t been eating the healthiest since the pandemic). I’m really liking it so far. The recipes definitely focus on health (what I needed) but are still flavorful and feel complete. Ive only tried a couple so far but the fusilli with pesto and green beans and Amalfi lemon chicken were EXCELLENT and easy to make. The recipes are very accessible and easy to incorporate (already have a couple planned out for the rest of the week). If you’re looking for quick, healthy meals or need some inspiration to eat healthier / feel better, you’ll enjoy this book.

Buenas ideas de recetas y fáciles de cocinar

I've always loved Giada's recipes and her cooking style, but this book is next level. I love the personal information she shared about her journey to eat better & feel better - it really made me feel like I could take control of my gut health too. The recipes are amazing and truly delicious, despite being "healthified" - you'd never know the dairy & gluten is missing! I enjoy the opportunity to try some new ingredients and cooking methods also. Enjoying this book so much I ordered my mom a copy for her birthday! 10/10!

Beautiful book, so much detail and information, cannot wait to start cooking all of the delicious and easy looking recipes. Personally, she really hit the nail on the head with this book for me. Thank you
