Introducing Simple Feel Good Food

My new book Simple Feel Good Food is officially out TODAY! It's packed with 125+ make-now and make-ahead recipes. Keep reading for a preview!

Today’s the day! My new cookbook Love & Lemons Simple Feel Good Food is officially out in the world, and I can’t wait for you to cook from it.

My inspiration for this book came from you, the Love & Lemons readers.

You’ve taught me that we all want to eat healthy, delicious food, but we have different ways of getting there.

  1. Some people like easy recipes that they can make right now.
  2. And others like to plan ahead.

Simple Feel Good Food is for these two types of cooks.

  • Half the recipes are at the ready recipes, which are simple to make with on-hand ingredients,
  • and half the recipes are in advance recipes, which are designed for meal prep.

Like all Love & Lemons recipes, they’re bursting with seasonal produce. I hope they make your mealtimes simpler, fresher, and more delicious. ?

Here’s a preview of what’s inside…

SO MANY dinner recipes! More than either of my last two books, Simple Feel Good Food has a HUGE emphasis on dinner. You’ll find

  • Easy Meatless Mains, like Chickpea Cacio e Pepe
  • Sheet Pan Dinners, like a Spring Sheet Pan with Baked Feta
  • Make-Ahead Meals, like Sweet Potato Paneer Burgers
  • And 8(!) three-part meal plans. You can read more about this feature in Sunday’s blog post!

But there are plenty of other recipes too! Simple Feel Good Food also has Breakfast, Salad, Soup, and Dessert chapters.

Cookbook open to page reading, "A Simple Guide to Lasagna Layers" with grid of sauce, veggie, cheese, and herb options on the right

At the end of each chapter, you’ll find a chart to help you get creative in the kitchen! They include

  • Shaking Up Shakshuka
  • A Guide to Grain Bowls
  • Rainbow Blender Soups
  • Mix & Match Veggie Tacos
  • Freezer Fudge, Four Ways
  • and MORE!

To everyone who collaborated on this book, THANK YOU! I’m so proud of what we’ve created.

To everyone who’s already pre-ordered, THANK YOU! I can’t tell you how much your support means.

To everyone who will cook from this book, THANK YOU for bringing my recipes into your kitchen. I hope you love what you make.

    I own a lot of cookbooks but when my daughter gifted me this one I thought to myself. “ if I had to own just have ONE cookbook, it would be THIS one.
    You’ve knocked this book out of the park. Your recipes are original, as is the layout and design of the book. Each recipe is interesting and yet there’s nothing difficult here! I love how you customize recipes – and how you make use of ingredients- like kale stems! Great tips and tricks and the photography is super appealing too.
    I really liked your first book but I absolutely love this one and am excited to try the majority of recipes in it!
    Thank you- the effort you put into this beautiful book is greatly appreciated! ?

    I signed up for a CSA last year, and your cookbooks were the perfect resource to help me answer the question “What can I do with ____??” each week. I appreciate the clear explanations, the suggestions for batch cooking and freezing, and the best ways to store everything from grains to every time of produce. Thank you for the loveliest and most useful cookbooks on the market!
