Review: Love this book- it fills a unique niche! - TLDR: This is a cookbook, not a 'fad-detox-diet' book. Just buy it. You won't regret it. This is the cookbook I'm using most often these days. The recipes have all turned out well. Even though all of the recipes have me cooking from scratch, I like their simplicity because I don't have to buy tons of ingredients or spend forever in the kitchen; however, the recipes still satisfy my foodie/gourmet palate. CONTEXT: I eat mostly vegetarian including dairy and eggs, I occasionally add salmon, cod, tuna, or halibut to my diet, and I also enjoy a fair amount of vegan meals. I am not gluten-free or paleo, but I try to keep refined carbs out of my diet, which ends up being about 75% of the time. I try to cook meals from scratch, although I like convenience products like 'vegetarian chicken' sometimes. COOKBOOK: I have a ton of cookbooks, but I keep gravitating towards this one because the recipes are about as easy as they can be, considering you are cooking from scratch. I like that I can make almost anything in the book after just picking up fresh veggies, because the same basic pantry items and spices are used throughout the book. Other reviews have told you details about the recipes and how great they are, so I'll try to focus on a few other things I've noticed... OTHER THINGS I'VE NOTICED: 1. This cookbook has 100 recipes, and only 2 of them are 'non-vegetarian' (Maple Mustard Glazed Salmon, Skillet Fish Tacos w/citrus slaw) 2. While some recipes are vegan, others call for eggs and dairy. However, dairy is used sparingly, and the author utilizes almond milk in many recipes. When the author does call for dairy products, she uses exclusively goat's milk dairy products because they are easier to digest - most of the time these could easily be replaced by cow's milk dairy products if you prefer. 3. *None* of her recipes use tofu or fake meat - I'm so used to seeing tofu in vegetarian cookbooks, that it's kind of nice to learn about other ways to add protein to a meal. 4. *None* of her recipes use convenience products as ingredients (unless you consider canned beans to be a convenience product). 5. Nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts, pecans) are utilized in many of the recipes (e.g. cashews to make a Cesar dressing creamy). As previously mentioned, almond milk also shows up a lot. (I've been making my own almond milk and it is super easy and tastes amazing.) That said, the book may still be of interest to those with nut allergies, because there are enough recipes that are nut-free. 6. The recipes use mainly coconut oil and EVOO, and occasionally a small amount of butter. 7. The recipes use healthy sweeteners - dates and bananas when possible, pure maple syrup or honey when not. 8. The recipes are almost exclusively gluten-free - coconut flour, lettuce instead of bread, buckwheat, quinoa, zucchini pasta, rice pasta, etc. 9. The author has a blog called The Detoxinista which is very well done. 10. Many of the recipes in this book require a food processor, and many would benefit from a high-speed vs. regular blender. I'm finding that a food processor is pretty essential if you want to take cooking with whole food ingredients to the next level. Mine cost $40 from Target and it does the job. I have both a food processor and a high-speed blender (Vitamix); this book helped me learn how to use these tools for a greater variety of recipes. 11. The book is set up around the dietary practice of 'proper food combining' for 'easier and quicker digestion' which leads to 'overall better health.' There are 4 food categories (Fresh Fruit, Nuts/Seeds/Dried Fruit, Starches, Animal Products) that should not be combined with each other in the same meal; however, each category can be combined with vegetables and other neutral items like oils and spices, and there are a few exceptions that can fit in multiple categories. In general, the author *has* really simplified this practice into something that pretty much everyone could do fairly easily if they wanted. You certainly don't have to follow these guidelines to enjoy the book and recipes. I definitely don't follow them strictly...it is mostly coincidental if I do... for example, I make one of the entrees in her book and enjoy it with a salad. However, I do notice that I feel relatively light and energetic after eating a meal from the book, so I think 'proper food combining' is a good concept in general, and at the least, it will have you eating more vegetables. SUMMARY: Awesome book! After getting overly gourmet/foodie about my daily meals, I was so excited to find this simple but delicious cookbook. For me it filled a niche that no other cookbook had before: 1. It uses minimal dairy without being vegan 2. It has gluten free recipes without using lots of 'replacement flours' 3. It has paleo friendly recipes without having tons of meat recipes that I won't use 4. It uses healthy sweeteners 5. It uses healthy fats 6. It is not trying to be a fad-diet book or a detox program with lots of rules 7. It is foodie friendly but the recipes are easy and simple Review: Great book, packed with ideas that are simple, easy to prepare and making healthy eating a breeze! - I first became aware of the Everyday Detox blog, and hence the book, when reading another book by the Author Tara Styles; which referenced a super quick and easy raw fudge recipe. I tried the recipe, was hooked and ordered a copy of this book! The first thing I loved about this book is the neat compact size which makes it easy to read, reference and use. And as soon as you open the cover you are greeted by gorgeous pictures of some of the featured recipes. As another reviewer noted, this book does not feature an abundance of photos if that is what you look for in a cook book; but they do not exactly skimp on the photography either, and for me, I would honestly have a few extra recipes and they are certainly packed in this book! The book opens up with the authors story - and like many others who found their way to a whole foods lifestyle, she grew up on a diet abundant in convenience foods, fast food meals and processed foods, only to hit those college years "bloated, sluggish and stuck with a closet full of clothes that no longer fit" and taking to a calorie counting regime that is not fun and not the route to health. Gradually embarking on a whole foods meal plan , she felt better, both emotionally and physically, became certified in Clinical Nutrition and now shares her successes with us through both this book and website! The next chapter focuses on making a detox diet easy - and one should note, by detox we are not talking about living off green juice for 7 days, but eating a balanced diet of natural whole foods and ridding our bodies of refined junk that does nothing for us for the rest of our lives! There is a guide to better digestion, food groups - this is something I will generally not follow as I personally love for example, my yogurt with nuts and fruit, or Quinoa with avocado, but if you have digestion issues this might be a good guide for you and maybe a resolution to your issues. There is a jump start guide, easy prep tips and a day meal plan, made easy with the inclusion of a shopping list! We then go into a guide to stocking your kitchen in a detox friendly way, which I loved; (and nothing is too weird, unheard of or expensive, so the regular grocery store should suffice) and a guide to tools that might be useful to have on hand! There are the recipes: 10 recipes for liquid nourishment which includes shakes smoothies and juices (some do require a juicer) and I must admit the strawberry basil blast is a favorite - I made it up right away as I had both avocados and dates that needed to be used. There are 10 breakfast ideas from on the go snack bars ; chia pudding and a healthier eggs Benedict . Salads sides and dressings has everything from your basic Greek salad, to salt and vinegar Brussels s sprouts and dips such as hummus and Spinach artichoke. There is a section of soups, sandwiches and wraps, where some favorites such as fish tacos and Broccoli Cheese soups are lightened up; casseroles and comfort food (cannot speak to that, as I currently have 90 degree temperatures where I live and this will not appeal to me for many months) . There are various sweet treats such as the aforementioned Freezer fudge, the banana soft serve which my kids love - I always have banana's around that get too ripe, too fast and they enjoy 'ice cream' which is simply a healthy banana and maybe an ad in such as cacao powder! The raw cheese cake is thankfully not as sweet as most I have tried which typically rely on an abundance of dates, this one has a nut base. Then I love the back to basics which ends the recipes with simple things such as baked spaghetti squash, making almond flour, cauliflower rice, nut based milks, nut butter and walnut parmesan! The book ends with menus that one can use when entertaining, such an a burger themed night, or Asian Fusion, brunch ideas or cold winter night ideas! It's a great idea that pulls many dishes together! The great thing about this book is that it is simple - nothing too complex both in terms of ingredients or preparation so it makes the whole idea of a detox menu easy and appealing; but the ideas are often new, fresh and above all tasty. This is a book you can take to the grocery store, fill up your cart and have ideas for the whole family , for each night of the week that are healthy, do not break the bank and above all, even the most time pressed of us can accomplish! This is a great book that I can see myself referring to quite often!

The Perfect Healthy (and Delicious!) Cookbook
I've been waiting months for this cookbook to come out and it's just as amazing as I expected! I've been following Megan's blog for a couple of years now and her recipes have been a staple of my newfound love of cooking. She actually makes cooking and baking fun! There is something so satisfying about making absolutely delicious recipes that are super healthy for you -- especially ones that are so quick and easy. I'm a vegetarian who has an intolerance to legumes, and I also try to limit dairy, grains, and processed sugar, so I can't tell you how perfect Megan's recipes are for me. You don't have to be gluten-free, vegan, or even vegetarian to enjoy this cookbook though, since it truly has something for everyone and will appease even the pickiest eaters. I'm excited to start making her recipes for my one year old son! The recipes that I've tried so far: Raw Falafel Wraps -- these are so incredibly good. My husband wasn't expecting to like them and he ate four in one sitting! Almond Pulp Hummus -- I can't eat chickpeas so I was really happy to be able to eat hummus again! It's a great alternative and now I don't have to throw out the leftover pulp from my homemade almond milk. Asparagus Soup -- this was surprisingly creamy and very tasty. Cauliflower Fried Rice -- Really delicious and very much like the real thing. Almond Butter Fudge -- Yummy and so easy! Creamy Cauliflower Alfredo -- I really liked this, even though I wouldn't mistake it for the real thing, it's still a nice, creamy, extremely healthy alternative. Creamy Jalapeño Dressing -- this wasn't my favorite, but the great thing about Megan's recipes is that they are usually extremely adaptable. (I tweaked it by adding avocado for extra creaminess, more lemon, and a little honey, and I ended up wanting to lick the bowl!) The genius to her recipes are that the basic ideas are fantastic and almost foolproof, so it's hard to mess them up even if you add or subtract an ingredient to suit your tastes. I strongly dislike goat dairy but I know I'll be able to figure out something to replace it in her recipes and I'm sure they will still be great. This is the first cookbook I've bought -- and I have a large collection -- that I am actually really excited to make almost every recipe inside. I thought it would take a small miracle to find a cookbook that I would be able to try even a quarter of the recipes in because of my dietary restrictions, but Megan's cookbook is truly that well-thought out and suitable for most diets. I haven't subscribed to the whole food-combining approach but I am open to the idea and might try it in future. I don't usually leave long, in-depth reviews but Everyday Detox is a cookbook that should be on everyone's bookshelf. I've already bought several for friends and family. Next up on my list, Peppermint (chocolate) Fudge Bars -- my favorite combo -- I can't wait! :)

Delicious recipes
I purchased this book to get more ideas for cooking vegetables and real food (not processed). The basis for the book is food combining for better digestion (detox). I don't believe I will adhere to the food combining principles since I don't need to improve digestion or detox. However, the recipes I have tried are delicious. She really understands how to use ingredients to make "fakes" of conventional foods. For example, cauliflower fried "rice" was absolutely delicious and filled with vegetables. I have tried mains, sides, smoothies,and desserts. All have turned out perfectly and all were very tasty and easy to make. The recipes are mostly vegan and gluten free (neither is a concern for me), but there are variations given for omnivores. Over all, this book is well written. The recipes are very tasty and easy to moderate to prepare. She has another book coming out soon. I plan to purchase it once I've tried all of the recipes in this book.

This book will change your life!!
I've had this less than a week and already made several recipes. The recipes are easy, don't require weird ingredients, and taste delicious! Since I've been using this book I've been eating way more produce and way less processed food and I feel great. I went grocery shopping today and wasn't even tempted by the cookies or chips! There are several recipes that taste like dessert but are actually really good for you, so I don't feel bad about eating them. I don't even remember how I found Megan's blog, but I'm so glad I did! Every recipe of hers that I've made has been easy and delicious. Even my husband and kids like the recipes! I've recommended this book to anyone who will listen to me and I also can think of several people that will be getting it as a gift from me. This isn't one of those cookbooks where you'll only use one or two recipes-I have a feeling this will be getting a lot of use around here!!! She talks about food combining-which I admit I don't do-but the way she explains it makes sense and I'm going to follow her meal plans for "properly combined" meals and see how I feel.

I emailed the author about this -- I was curious if she recommended not using raw cacao powder in baking because it ...
One reason for the lower rating is due to the fact that I noticed a passage in the book that mentioned something about using raw cacao powder for non-baked goods and cocoa powder for baked goods (on page 23). I emailed the author about this -- I was curious if she recommended not using raw cacao powder in baking because it gives a bad taste when baked or something to that effect -- and she responded with the fact that it's more budget friendly. I can understand that...but not in this book. I thought this book was supposed to be health-friendly recipes, not recipes written to fit into a budget. I would have liked to have that information be more apparent. Not sure if that's the only instance, but I'm disappointed it happened even once. Photography: Comparing with other cookbooks on the market currently. It would be really helpful to have more photos rather using imagination. Fillers: This book says it includes 100 recipes. It does. However,the cupcakes and their icings are separated into different recipes. Other recipes like "Simple Sauteed Kale"," No-Fail Kale Salad", "Seasoned Sweet Potato Home Fries", and "Classic Guacamole" are not what I would expect and really basic. I have owned this cookbook for a few week. My family and I have tried these recipes as follows: We enjoy: Banana Protein Shake,Cauliflower Flatbread Pizza and Almond Butter Freezer Fudge. We think they are okay: Blended Apple Pie a la Mode, Everyday Basil Vinaigrette,Buckwheat Banana Bread, Maple Buttercream We probably wont make again: Double Chocolate Brownies, Very Vanilla Cupcakes To sum up, I enjoy the idea of improving digestion through the food combination even though there is no evidence to prove it helps with weigh loss. Some creative recipes but a lot of fillers towards the end of the book. The layout is beautiful and clear. I have never tried her recipes from her blog and am not speaking from a perspective of a fan but a home cook. EDIT: I am changing the rating due to the author's response. There was miscommunication between us. Thank you for taking time to make it clear.

Transformative - a Great Kickstart to a Healthy Lifestyle!
This book is phenomenal. I never considered myself "unhealthy" because I always thought I ate pretty well and exercised pretty regularly. However, my acne was getting out of control, I was always tired and irritable, and I always felt like I was in a fog. I wanted a natural approach to feeling better, so I bought this book to get started with a detox diet. The book is WONDERFUL. It's more than just a cookbook. Gilmore explains why the combinations of foods we consume matter, and gives simple to follow guidelines to ensure that every meal you eat is easily digestible. The recipes are delectable. I couldn't believe that with such simple ingredients would come SO much flavor and texture! I've tried several recipes over the last two weeks and have thoroughly enjoyed each of them. Additionally, they are filling and satisfying, without feeling heavy. Since I started following these recipes and guidelines, I have dropped 5 lbs, have been sleeping better, feel less irritable, and am more energized. This book has proved to be transformative, and is well worth the cost.

Highly Recommended!!!
By far the best cookbook I have purchased in a long, long time. It is so informational, and the recipes are beyond delicious and SIMPLE! I am a working mom of a 2 and 5 year old therefore I seek out the most straight forward recipes that are nutritious as well. I just received this book and can plan a whole week with it. So far, I have made the Chinese cabbage salad and it is out of this world! As are the smoothies and dressings. Never again will I buy another bottled salad dressing - no matter how "clean and healthy" it claims to be. Cauliflower fried rice was also on the menu several nights this week - even my 5 year old loved it! Overall, the cookbook is so versatile and works with all different lifestyles - the recipes can each be tailored to be vegan, vegetarian, omnivore, etc. Best of all, the ingredients aren't obscure. You most likely already have them, or they are easy to find at your local grocery store. I cannot recommend this book enough - this is now my go-to gift as well!

The best cookbook I have ever bought....
This book had been sitting in my wish list for months after I saw it reviewed in a magazine. After acquiring an Amazon voucher for Christmas I decided to go ahead and purchase. I was a little hesitant at first because of the price (as I am a student) but as soon as the book arrived I forgot my hesitations. This is honestly the best cookbook I have ever bought. The introduction to the concept of food grouping and how this aids digestion is very well presented, informative and easy to understand. The recipes follow in this way. I am not vegetarian, gluten free or vegan but have many friends who are and one of my favourite things about these recipes is how they can be adapted to suit those needs and I am often telling my gluten free and vegan friends how fantastic the recipes are! The measurements are in American units which was a bit of a struggle at first as I am from the UK but there is a conversion chart at the back of the book which is incredibly handy and thoughtful! I cannot recommend this book enough and would happily purchase any future cookbooks the brilliant Megan Gilmore produces!

One of my best books so far
I bought this book because I want to eat more healthy without having to diet. And boy am I glad I did, at last I have found THE book (after many more purchased before this..). The fact Megan is an ex-junk food eater, is exactly what I was looking for. I feel like her recipes were designed especially for me! It's hearty, tasty, healthy and sweet tasting at the same time, but no sugar! I even tried out her cabbage salad recipe, delicious. And that's a hard one to pull off.. Her food combining table is really clear and easy to follow, her tips are very valuable, and she seems like a really sweet woman too. Totally recommend it!

The great thing about this book is that the recipes are ...
We've had this book since it's release a few weeks ago. It actually made me a lot more interested in this way of cooking and now I'm looking for other books that are of similar quality to keep us going. The great thing about this book is that the recipes are all relatively simple and just a few ingredients. It's very practical. For more info I went the author's website and it's great, too! Our favourites are: banana ice cream, the chocolate macaroons, no cheese no bake cheese cake, snack bars, the buckwheat banana bread, and lots more.

Won't dissapoint...
Sometimes its tough to find good recipes that are insanely healthy but this book has them. Nothing too complex either. Great if you just want to feel and live healthy....I'm not looking for anything else.
