Heidi Swanson is one of the most original voices in cookery today. No other writer combines luscious, fresh, wholesome, and completely enticing food so well. Heidi Swanson's approach to cooking whole, natural foods has earned her a global following. From her Northern California kitchen, she introduced us to a less-processed world of cooking and eating. In Super Natural Every Day, Heidi helps us make nutritionally packed meals part of our daily repertoire by sharing a sumptuous collection of nearly 100 of her go-to recipes. These are the dishes that Heidi returns to again and again because they're approachable, good for the body, and just plain delicious. This stylish cookbook is equal parts inspiration and instruction, showing us how to create a welcoming table filled with nourishing food for friends and family. The flavorful vegetarian recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, treats, and drinks are quick to the table but tasty enough to linger over. Gorgeously illustrated with over 100 photos that showcase the engaging rhythms of Heidi's culinary life and travels, Super Natural Every Day reveals the beauty of uncomplicated food prepared well and reflects a realistic yet gourmet approach to a healthy and sophisticated natural foods lifestyle.

I think I was just a little underwhelmed with this cook book. Most of the recipes are ones I would cobble together anyway from ingredients in my store cupboard. They didn't seem to me to be super-healthy or super-natural, apart from the fact that they are vegetarian. One of the recipes uses shop-bought ravioli which I thought rather odd.
My main gripe is that there really weren't very many recipes in this book. There are lots of nice photos of scenery and quite a few of the finished dishes (though it's not clear which is which as they aren't labelled) but when it comes down to finding a recipe for a meal, I found that there just weren't that many to choose from. There were quite a few salads, snacks and soups, but not much else. To be honest, a number of the recipes felt like they were padding the book out - there was a recipe for one poached egg, another for more than one poached egg (!) and a recipe for lemonade shandy and another for iced tea (tea leaves, water, ice)...
I like the book's ethos and a few of the recipes have been delicious to eat (and inexpensive to cook) but I really don't feel that the total content justifies the purchase price of this book.

This cookbook is even better than her first one! Simple, easy to make recipes and a lot of personal notes, which I just love. She makes living healthier personal, and very very easy. Again in this book, as in the first, some basic information about products and what to make your standard cupboard items. I love it! No hard to get products, everything is easy and super delicious (because, let's face it, eating healthier is ok, but it needs to taste good!)...

I'm an avid follower of Heidi's website, where she most often posts recipes from other cookbooks, and the great thing is - all the recipes she makes and posts are ones that if I had all the cookbooks in the world, would choose to make - so it's a great one stop shop for wonderful veggie recipes. Unlike the blog, this cookbook is made up of her own recipes (or ones she's gotten from friend's) and is a great go-to book for weeknight meals and weekend treats. The first week I got it I made about 5 recipes out of it and still have more flagged. Especially love the Kale Salad and the Summer Squash Soup and the Carnival cookies. I did wonder if it would be worth buying the book since I can see most of her recipes on her website, but I'm glad I did - it's beautiful volume and has some extras that aren't on the site, and sometimes it's just nice cooking from a book instead of the screen, being able to flip through the colourful pages.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Great book, unusual, healthy and tasty dishes. Recipes easy to follow though require a bit of effort, but are worth it.
