Superfoods: The Flexible Approach to Eating More Superfoods

Julie Montagu's book exceed all of my expectations! It is not only a fantastic cookbook, it is also very interesting and holds a lot of easy to understand knowledge about superfoods and eating healthy. It is not overwhelming and welcomes all lifestyles to try the superfood lifestyle. You wont feel pressured by this book or Julie. Another great thing about the book (which sealed the 5 star review from me) is how easy the recipes are to follow and find ingredients for. This isnt a healthy cookbook that requires complex, hard to find, expensive ingredients. So far, in the several recipes I have tried, all the ingredients have been easy to find and substitute if needed! This is what makes flexible dieting so easy! I highly recommend this book for everyone especially those looking for fantastic recipe ideas and those looking to learn more about the lifestyle without being overwhelmed!

Julie has four kids so she totally gets the importance of speed while making ultra-nutritious food that is ALSO really tasty. I've already made Red Velvet Lentils and the Adzuki Bean Chilli recipe and they were not only delicious but easy. Sure, you'll need a few new additions to the pantry (nutritional yeast, say), but it's totally worth it. Her tone of voice is personal and friendly, and the recipes are easy enough for novices to follow. The photos are beautiful and the explanations at the beginning of the book about the actual superfoods are insightful and great to refer back to.

I received Superfoods only a few days ago and I already love it. Unlike some other books of this type (lifestyle/recipe/new food fad books), it is actually full of recipes and so far I have found them to be much quicker and easier than they appear at first glance. The recipes are also broken down into handy sections for meal type as well as treats, snacks and sides and the inspired inclusion of a specific section for "portable" meals is great for the workers amongst us. The introductory sections concisely and effectively explain why you should and shouldn't really eat certain foods, without sounding like a dictatorial diet book. In particular, I found the pantry overhaul section with suggested foods and their benefits extremely helpful. Overall a motivational and interesting read that has definitely changed the way I look at the food I eat.

Arrived quickly and safely, thank you. As expected, a well written and presented little book. The initial part of the book that covers must, should and could choices to restock the pantry are very sensible, as for those new to this approach, it can be a little overwhelming with the choices available...provides tips on how to simply and easily incorporate more super foods into a daily diet, through plenty of easy and tasty recipes.

So I have now bought 4 of these books, one for myself and 3 for friends. I have made almost everything in it already and love love love it all tasty healthy interesting recipes that you'd never think of as plant based! Its the best cook book I have bought, EVER! Julies tips are great and the photo's are lovely, the food really does taste as good as it looks! Healthy eating is important to me but I don't do diets. This is the perfect book for anyone looking for delicious simple healthy eating with dishes suitable for a family supper or a dinner party, There is something for everyone regardless of whether you eat meat. This is truly a flexible approach to eating well. Hope another is in the works!

I LOVE this book. It really makes healthy eating seem accessible and easy to achieve. All the recipes are easy to make and the ones I've done so far have also been super tasty. My husband and 2 year old daughter have also been enjoying them. The book is beautifully laid out and most recipes have a photo of the finished article. I would say that to eat these types of meals does take some planning in advance to ensure you have the ingredients ready for the week. I work full time and have a young daughter to look after so it is a bit of a commitment. But it's most definitely worth it - I feel much healthier, my skin is clearer and almost glowing and I have lost some weight. Julie is very inspirational and writes in a very supportive and kind way. She tells you not to stress out if you have the odd naughty meal but just to counteract it with something healthy at the next meal. I can't recommend this book highly enough if you are interested in becoming more healthy in your life. Eating a few of Julie's recipes will be one of the greatest gifts that you can give to your body.

I'm in love with this recipe book! It's packed with tasty, creative and uber healthy recipes. Some of my other veggie cook books have ingredients that are hard to find in regular supermarkets, Superfoods has lots of simple and easy recipes, making cooking less time consuming and more fun. One of my fav' s from this book is "Ginger and Umbeoshi Aubergines with Mango" (and yes you can get Umbeoshi -Japanese plum- from the regular supermarkets in case you were wondering! ). I also love the Fig bars as a healthy treat.

Some ready good recipesin this book. At the beginning of the book there is a list of ingredients and items with explanation of their health benefits which I really like since I really wanted to learn more about healthy items/ingredients to use in cooking and have in the kitchen. I have used a couple of recipes and experimented with some ideas from this book, overall a success! Would definitely recommend it if you care about your health and at the same time want to get delicious recipes and ideas for cooking (you don't have to be a vegetarian or vegan - like myself - to enjoy this book.

I learned of this cookbook from watching "Ladies of London". Julie's enthusiasm and fit lifestyle are addicting. I have made several recipes from this book. Pros are the incredible color photos and the general overall top quality of the book. The recipes are easy to follow, although the ingredients can be hard to find (even in a big, west coast city). Everyone who has tasted the recipes, loves them. There are a couple of ways to look at this cookbook: you could say that the recipes are different and the ingredients difficult to find OR you could look at it as a fantastic learning tool. It's fun to replace the staples in my pantry with new, innovative and healthy food items. I read the book cover to cover, It is more than a collection of recipes, it is an education, an attitude. The fact that Julie does not shame you into going vegan made me more willing to try the dishes. Bravo Julie! I would need have guessed this was your first effort at a cookbook.

Your book is fabulous Julie and can be used for the entire family, highly recommended! The recipes are diverse and even though I am not in a country where I can find all the ingredients, I have found some great sites in UK, who will deliver for a very low fee to Europe. A great book for anyone looking to get healthy and stay healthy!

One of the best out there - and I have a lot of cookbooks! Easy to read, recipes are delicious and not time consuming.

Quite informative...

Great cookbook, inventive ways to prepare nutrition packed recipes. I simply love Julie's approach to teaching us how to eat better with healthful ingredients. My daughters and I are going through and preparing recipes one by one. Thanks Julie, you are brilliant!!!! The photos in this cookbook are gorgeous works of art that I feel I could even frame so kudos to your talented photographer as well!!!! Besos xo
