The Happy Pear: Recipes for Happiness

I first found these guys through their youtube channel, and was excited to see they had cookbooks. They're always mentioning their videos that you can substitute things and change up seasonings to create new tastes. Their recipes are easy to follow and easy to tweak to fit your tastes. It made my transition to plant based foods much easier.

I debated whether I should get this or not because measurements are all in metric but am so glad I did! There's beautiful color photos for just about every recipe in this book and a great variety of meals, time required, and tastes. I'm already a huge fan of their YouTube channel and this did not disappoint. Delicious, simple, healthy recipes with just enough lifestyle tips to make it an all-encompassing guide. They even have a meal prep section at the end that is the only one I've ever seen done well! This book is so good that I just might have to cook through this book cover to cover Julie & Julia style.

This is a wonderful vegan cook book! Weve cooked all the curries and some of the other dishes so far. Every single one has tasted excellent and been super easy to make! There’s also lots of helpful tips about nutrition, food prep, etc. 5/5 my favorite vegan cookbook!

Love these gentlemen, use their other 2 cookbooks all the time and will use this one as well. Great food and always fun to watch them on you tube, they are two of the happiest people ever.

Honestly, what’s not to like! I’ve been longing to transition to a Vegan lifestyle for quite sometime for my own personal reasons and just had no guidance. Then one day the Flynn Brothers magically appeared in my YouTube feed with their Happy Pear Vlogs and Lo’ a whole new world opened to me but with so much fun and joy and lightheartedness it all just made sense! Then the book just brought it all home, figuratively and literally! I cannot begin to express how much the book has taught me! The recipes are amazingly delicious, creative and fun! The whole book is simply an inspiration! Peace and Blessings to the Flynn Brothers for sharing their Happiness with the world! What a “Pear”!

I absolutely love the books from these two amazing men. They have inspired a nationwide change by simply being themselves and sharing what they love. Their sense of community and bringing people together through food has spread far and wide and I couldn’t recommend this book more. If you want a beautiful book with fantastic recipes and just full on happiness then this is for you!

My picky kid has gone back for seconds of everything I've made from this cookbook so far. He's even helped with the cooking!

Great recipes! Easy, quick, and yummy! Highly recommend!

This cook book it absolutely amazing, I’ve been vegan for 6 years and have acquired a few books over the years but this has to be one of the best, I use it all the time. The recipes are so easy and all the ingredients are so available. I would highly recommend this book to other vegans and to meat eaters looking to have healthier meal options.

I discovered The Happy Pear a few months ago on Instagram and have been following them and their stories ever since. The biggest reason for this is because you cannot watch them without smiling and feeling happy! Plus, they are twins who are kicking ass, so immediately I was just like yay #TwinPower!This book is their third cookbook and it is absolutely beautiful.I haven't bought a cookbook in quite a while, mainly because we don't use them all that often and we still have quite a lot from our younger years, so if we want to bake something specific we know where to look. However, upon my discovery of David and Stephen Flynn, I couldn't resist. Their attitude to life and food is infectious and when I saw this on amazon I thought I must get it. I'm so happy I did because like I mentioned above, it's beautiful.You know when you look at people and you just think "What beautiful, lovely people?" Well I think that's a very special thing and that's exactly what I think when I watch The Happy Pear's daily Instagram stories and read what they have to say in their photo captions. They are people who are putting nothing but LOVE and GOOD VIBES out there and I absolutely admire them for it. Each day when I see them running into the freezing sea or doing morning yoga in their cafe it inspires me to get things done and have a positive, productive day. We all need people like that in our lives, so I'm very glad I found them.As for the cookbook, dare I say BEAUTIFUL again?! ;) No, it's a brilliant book that captures the heart of The Happy Pear. The photos are stunning; all set outside in nature, which I think is a fantastic touch. The recipes all look incredible and I cannot wait to try them. We've really been getting into eating a more vegetable based diet, so it's lovely to have some new recipes to try and different ones too, that we wouldn't normally think of putting together. The recipes are all set out in a very easy to follow manner and all of the instructions sound exactly like David and Stephen are talking to you in your kitchen, which I think is great. We will definitely be sharing pictures on Instagram of recipes we try so stay tuned!Ooh another aspect we both love is that it's smaller in size than your average cookbook. We've always wanted our cookbook to be more compact, so when we opened this we were just beaming at how cute and pretty it is. It's perfect and looks wonderful on my coffee table! I highly recommend it!

Having watched The Happy Pear on youtube for a while.. not every shopping list was added on the video..so insted of pausing and writing the ingredients out on endless amounts of paper each time..I decided to get the book.. and I love it :) A lot of books I buy contain a lot of very expensive ingredients.. but not this one! I love the fact that they use basic everyday ingredients in their recipes for filling meals :) Having the meal plan is handy too.. if you are in a hurry and need a quick meal plan for the week instead of searching for meals in the book. I love the photographs throughout the book.. Only one thing I am disappointed is the fact it does not mention if the meal is suitable for freezing afterwards.. that would be handy to know! As portions are rather big and you dont have to spend loads neither!

Firstly I do follow the Happy Pear and own a cookery book that they previously wrote. I was disappointed with this book and so wanted to like it.... There are an awful lot of recipes containing coconut milk (which I avoid) In the ‘Quick and Easy Dinner’ chapter the first six recipes all include coconut milk and there are more throughout the book. If you like noodle recipes, this book may appeal as there are quite a lot.... I do not consider a sausage and tomato sandwich a recipe ie., Cook vegetarian sausages, spread one slice of bread with mayonnaise and one slice with ketchup, top the sausages with sliced tomatoes and leaves of choice ?!?! This one sadly not for me and I returned it....

I love some of the recipes in this book. I also like the convenience that common ingredients gives, eg. tamari is used in many recipes.The Teriyaki Noodles and Indonesian Satay are incredible! Could do without all the extra guff about doing hand stands, though.
