Healthyish: A Cookbook with Seriously Satisfying, Truly Simple, Good-For-You (but not too Good-For-You) Recipes for Real Life

Thank you Lindsay Maitland Hunt. This is a great cookbook -- it has beautiful pictures and a chatty, sensible vibe. You show us that cooking healthy food that tastes good is achievable. The cooking directions are clear and I like the suggestions for sensible shortcuts (e.g. use a rotisserie chicken from the market). Since it arrived, I've already made a number of recipes--I've even made the Red Lentil soup twice! This book has earned a place on my shelf of 'frequently used cookbooks'. Several of the recipes provide great ideas and tips/techniques that are transferable. The Cauliflower Frittata is a great weeknight supper, and I love the technique of using just one pan. This can be applied to other frittatas as well! The Arctic Char and Cucumber/Radish salad is a great combination, and the salad would be delicious with other roasted meat or fish. The buckwheat bars are a tasty treat. Finally, this book features a comprehensive index in a type font that is easy to read. The separate 'special diet' indexes are really helpful. They make it easy to find recipes that are gluten-free, dairy-free or vegetarian.

I love this cookbook. The recipes come out exactly as explained in the book - no surprises and very easy to follow. I have been making soups this October to eat and freeze the leftovers. I bought a case of mason jars and intend to fill my freezer with soups to enjoy this winter. I made the Curried Sweet Potato soup and it was delicious. The consistency was perfect - not too thick and not too watery. It has a subtle bite, which adds to the complexity of the flavors. This recipe made enough to feed my husband, bring to a neighbors house, and fill several mason jars to defrost next month. I used Lindsay's Whole Poached Chicken with bonus Stock, used the stock I needed for the soup, and froze the rest of the chicken stock for future soups. Lindsay's recipes are also very practical. The tips at the back of the book are very helpful - how to peel garlic quickly and slice squash. I ordered several copies and this is my "go to" hostess gift this fall for my friends.

What a find! I purchased Healthyish as a gift for a friend who loves to cook and ended up keeping the copy for myself. Not only is this a beautiful cookbook, the recipes are innovative, yet not beyond the capabilities of an “every day” chef. The no cook lunches are delicious and easy to assemble and the soups (as well as the coconut curry noodles) are perfect for a one dish meal at home or a care package for a friend who is under the weather or just needs some comfort food. I still feel a little guilty about highjacking a gift, but I have ordered more copies and know that my popularity rating will soar as I share this wonderful find with friends who love to cook and to eat. Thank you, Ms. Hunt!!

I just bought this as an e-book today and sat down and read through it right away. I love this so much I may have to buy a physical copy too. All these recipes are so doable! How can you beat easy, accessible ingredients put together in simple, quick ways that result in meals with an eye toward providing solid nutrition in a a satisfying and tasty way? I love the premise of ‘healthyish’ because I do want to eat mostly healthily but I don’t want to become a slave to healthy eating. The one thing that would make this book better for me would be the inclusion of nutritional data on each recipe. I think not including it might have been deliberate, to emphasize the ‘ish’ part of healthyish, but as a diabetic it is important to me to know the net carbs in my meals in order to properly meal-plan and medicate. That’s the only thing stopping this from being a 5 star review. I will definitely be looking for more from this author!

It's a great cookbook that tries to balance healthy ingredients and portions with meals that are still enjoyable to eat. An example is the chocolate coconut cookies, which taste great, and is a bit better for you than traditional cookie. Highly recommend for people who are stuck in a rut and also want to eat a bit better.

I am intrigued by these recipes and can't wait to try some of these. I am always looking for tasty, yet healthier recipes. There are all kinds here in this book. I will have to substitute the ones with cashews with another nut since I am allergic to them and there are a few recipes with this nut. The flavor combinations look good. I got this book with my Kindle Unlimited program but I like the recipes enough to go back and buy the book so that I have it permanently.

I've tried a handful of these recipes and I've loved them all. Really really good! My only qualm is that this cookbook doesn't provide any nutritional facts for each recipe, so it's hard to monitor calories, fat, carbs, sodium, etc. Other healthy living-style cookbooks I've used have always provided a breakdown of this information for each recipe, so I thought it was strange that this one did not. Just thought others might want to know that before purchasing! But, if you're just looking for a healthy-ish cookbook with great meals and you aren't following any sort of strict diet - this is a great choice.

My kids are obsessed with the whole wheat chocolate chip cookie bars, and one of my favorites is the skirt steak with corn, potato, and smoked mozzarella salad. The recipes I’ve made so far are pretty easy to follow with simple ingredients, which I appreciate as a busy mom!

excellent recipes.easy to make.

Great cook book.

Everyday foods prepared in a more health conscious way. Lots of good information, includes a picture of each recipe but doesn’t include a nutritional table.

Really like this cookbook! Beautiful photos for inspiration, and tasty new dishes to try. It’s easy to follow, and the flavours are awesome, sometimes I think she over salts and spices the food though, and Some of it isn’t to my taste, but I like to try new things.
