This cookbook is inspiring, innovative, and insightful! Every recipe makes me ache to get into the kitchen and start cooking--and the photography is so incredible you almost want to lick the pages! I have made and served many things from Heidi's books and they have always been well received and thoroughly enjoyed by all. It can be easy to fall into vegetarian rut, but this book is full of new ideas, incredible flavor combinations, and new every day meals that will nourish your body and delight your tastebuds.

This isn't Advanced Cooking by any means, but after reading this cover to cover (yes, really) I feel like I can manage to feed myself using nothing more than the contents of my CSA box and a handful of pantry staples. The photography is very inspiring. The recipes are hearty and there are lots of oatmeal options, which completely wins my heart.

Heidi's approach to whole, natural foods is at once approachable and innovative at the same time! The stunning photographs draw you in, the unique combinations of flavors captivate your senses, and the straight forward preparation gives you the confidence to actually get in the kitchen and make it! I find myself turning to this book again and again for both new inspiration as well as to remake dishes that have already become my all-time favorites! These recipes are quick enough for the everyday, yet impressive enough for special occasions. The ingredients are simple to find, though I usually have them all on hand--but somehow Heidi's recipes in this book are able to transform basic ingredients into phenomenal, satisfying perfection. If you are looking for easy and delicious was to incorporate more unprocessed, real foods into your diet--this is the book for you! The recipes are vegetarian and could easily be adjusted to suit carnivores in most cases--although I encourage you to just make it Heidi's way the first time and see that no one will miss the meat!

"Staff Pick"
by Megan,
This cookbook has blown me away. I've made three meals from it in the last week, and they've all been delicious, easy, highly adaptable, and healthy! There doesn't seem to be anything that writer/photographer/designer/food blogger Heidi Swanson can't do, and, fortunately, she does the food bit exceptionally well. The legions who follow 101Cookbooks.com will not be disappointed in this beautiful, useful recipe collection.

"Publishers Weekly Review"
by Publishers Weekly,
"The author of Super Natural Cooking and the blog 101 Cookbooks, Swanson offers a glimpse into her favorite everyday recipes. A huge and often preachy proponent of the buy organic/local/seasonal movement, she focuses on whole, natural foods including whole grains, whole grain flours, and fresh produce — ingredients that are seasonal and minimally processed. Recipes run the gamut from breakfast through desserts and include healthier variations of familiar favorites including crepes made with rye flour and ginger cookies with dried apricots and shaved chocolate. Lunch offerings include unique and palatable dishes such as kale salad with toasted coconut and sesame oil, and chanterelle tacos. Dinner recipes such as chickpea stew made with saffron, black pepper tempeh and weeknight curry made with tofu are big on flavor. Swanson spends several pages detailing her pantry staples including oils and fats, grains, and flours to guide those unfamiliar with key ingredients. For those looking to incorporate more healthful ingredients into their diet, Swanson offers a welcome variety of appetizing recipes that are easy enough to prepare on busy weeknights and sure to appeal.

by Random House,
The eagerly anticipated follow-up to Heidi Swanson’s James Beard–nominated Super Natural Cooking features 100 vegetarian recipes for nutritious, gratifying, weekday-friendly dishes from the popular blogger behind 101 Cookbooks.
In Super Natural Cooking, Heidi taught us how to navigate a healthier, less-processed world of cooking by restocking our pantries and getting acquainted with organic, nutrient-rich whole foods. Now, in Super Natural Every Day, Heidi presents a sumptuous collection of seductively flavored dishes that are simple enough to prepare for breakfast on the fly, a hearty brown bag lunch, or a weeknight dinner with friends. Nearly 100 vegetarian recipes, including Pomegranate-Glazed Eggplant, Black Sesame Otsu, Mostly Not Potato Salad, Chickpea Saffron Stew, Salted Buttermilk Cake, and a new version of the ever-popular Pan-Fried Beans and Greens, are presented in Heidi’s signature nonpreachy style. Gorgeously photographed, this stylish cookbook reveals the beauty of uncomplicated food prepared well and reflects a realistic yet gourmet approach to a healthy and sophisticated urban lifestyle.
