Eating healthy doesn’t always mean counting calories. Yet, unfortunately, this has been the harmful narrative for decades in our society. This narrative has made me shy away from any cookbook that designates its recipes as “healthy.” But after taking a look at Everyday Healthy Cookbook, I’ve opened my mind to the nuances of healthy eating.
With vibrant photographs and over 120 eclectic recipes, Williams Sonoma’s Everyday Healthy Cookbook, guides you through the nutritional benefits of the ingredients you’re using to prepare your meals. From ingredients that provide energy and protein, to foods that are a main source of enriching fats or fiber, the cookbook helps the reader understand the importance of incorporating wholesome, locally-sourced ingredients into your meals. Certain foods can actually help boost your immune system and help maintain your digestive system.
It really is a helpful resource if you’re looking for natural dietary changes, but not looking to forgo flavor or your favorite dish. Of course, it includes recipes to spruce up our favorites like avocado toast or grilled peaches, but with dishes like Chicken Shawarma with Peppers and Tahini or Cider Braised Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Figs, you will also find recipes that will definitely spark your inner chef. You will discover innovative ways to make nourishing and yummy breakfasts, starters, lunches, dinners and desserts. Everyday Healthy features starters like Ceviche with lime and herbs, salads with watermelon and avocado dressing, and extravagant main dishes like whole roasted Branzino.
The award-winning author, Dana Jacobi, has apprenticed alongside acclaimed chefs in France and her expertise has been featured in O: The Oprah Magazine, The New York Times and other major publications. Jacobi has authored fifteen other cookbooks, including six for Williams Sonoma. In addition to major publications, she also writes the blog Something Different for the American Institute for Cancer Research. You can find the Everyday Healthy Cook in most bookstores and online.
