Food Babe Kitchen: More than 100 Delicious, Real Recipes to Change Your Body and Life

This is a nice book with good information and ideas.

Lovely chef! Great recipes

I have to start by saying I am a huge fan of Vani Hari and I was so excited to get this cookbook, but it is turning out to be a big disappointment. Chapters 1 & 2 (and the emailed pantry list for buying the book) are probably the main reasons to get this book, but forget about it as a cookbook. Everything in the cookbook is quick and easy (which is great), but it's not good. I have made four of the recipes so far (cheesy chips - homemade Doritos; almond butter freezer fudge; pad Thai; and one of the smoothies). Sadly, I ended up throwing all four things out. I will probably try making her mother's recipes in the book, but I don't think I will make anything else. I love the wonderful work she does as an advocate and educator, but I don't think a cookbook is in her range of talents. I gave this book two stars because of her 5-star cause.

When I found The Food Babe, I was thrilled that there was someone out there who agreed with me on how awful the ingredients are in processed foods and fast food places. Finally!! All of this information is in the book and the information I give a 4.5. What is there is right on, however if you want to eat healthy, there are gaps in her knowledge. For example, pork is not a health food, and she creates recipes with it. There are other examples as well. The HUGE disappointment is that while most of her recipes are healthy, they taste awful. Since this is a COOKBOOK and not an informational book, I give it a 1. I would give it a zero if I could. It’s not enough to create a healthy recipe. You can eat just organic raw vegetables for that. The recipes need to be something your friends would ask for if you took it to a potluck. Healthy recipes need to be delicious. This is NOT that cookbook. These are awful!!!

I’ve been following Vani Hari for many years. I bought her first book, bought her products which are amazing and I love her new book’s aesthetic, although, I did not buy the book for the look of it. I bought it, expecting new content that I would not find it anywhere. Even though, I was excited to receive the book after patiently waiting for months, I was a little disappointed with the recipes. Apart from the book have pretty pictures, to me, It looked like more of an autobiography than a true cookbook. I was a bit disappointed with the content. Not very impressive for the price. This is why I give 2 stars. I was really expecting original recipes that I would not find on her website for free.
