Publisher Description
A healthy cookbook to share with a partner, featuring more than 100 recipes designed to nourish your bodies and souls.
An Epicurious Best Cookbook for Spring • “Healthier Together focuses on real whole foods and bringing community together.”—Kelly LeVeque, celebrity nutritionist and bestselling author of Body Love
Food writer and health blogger Liz Moody once followed trendy diets and ate solely for fuel, not for flavor. That changed when she met her soon-to-be-boyfriend and they started cooking nutrient- and vegetable-rich meals. She not only fell in love with food again, but she also discovered that setting goals and sticking to them is easier and more gratifying when paired with someone else. Mincing garlic and sautéing onions together eventually led the couple to marriage—proving that good food really is the universal connector!
These 100+ flavor-packed recipes are designed to be cooked and enjoyed by two people, plus they’re all gluten-free, dairy-free, and plant-centered. They include homemade alternatives for all the foods you love to share, such as brunch, takeout, and sweet treats. Indulge in Cardamom Banana Bread Pancakes with Candied Coffee Walnuts, Cornflake “Fried” Chicken, General Tso’s Cauliflower, and Chocolate Tahini Brownie Bites. Pick your partner—near or far—and get ready to get healthy.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Food "brings us together like nothing else," writes Moody (Glow Pops) in this health-minded cookbook of 100 appetizing recipes designed to be prepared with a friend or partner. Moody, the food editor of the Mindbodygreen website, focuses on a largely vegetable diet with no refined sugars or grains, and gut-healthy anti-inflammatory foods (in considering breads, for example, she suggests sourdough or sprouted). Cooking couples can bond over simple, quick dishes, such as a 10-minute poke bowl with ahi tuna or a minty cilantro pesto pasta. Cravings for comfort foods can be satisfied by an enchilada lasagna with avocado b chamel, or zucchini latkes topped with apple compote. There are inventive riffs on takeout dishes: cast-iron pizza (made with flour tortilla, tomato sauce, and assorted vegetables), General Tso's cauliflower, and "fried" chicken, which is skinless chicken breast breaded in honey and Cornflakes and baked. Moody presents her Healthier Together 21-Day Cleanup for detoxing; explains the importance of cooking with a partner ("you're far more likely to meet your health and happiness goals if you embark on your new lifestyle with another person"); and includes basic equipment lists (quality blenders, food processors) and pantry ingredients ("whole-plant" flours, fats, non-dairy milk, nutritional yeast). Moody entertains with these accessible, flavor-packed recipes.
