I found Good For You to be very bright and vibrant for a cook book。 I tried a few of the recipes out and thought them to be okay， but not something I would easily do on a day to day basis。 I still think it gives you a great base to start with and a way to build the recipe up if you want to depending your health goals。

2。5 stars Lots of meat centered recipes for a cookbook highlighting veggie based recipes on the cover。 Also not for the average home cook。 I’m fairly adventurous in my home cooking and some of these ingredients I’ve never seen anywhere before。 Disappointed。

A cookbook filled with gluten-free， dairy-free， vegetarian and vegan recipes。 Every recipe is marked GF/DF/VG/V in both the table of contents and on the recipe itself， so it is quick and easy to find the category that you are looking for。 A full list of pantry ingredients is included， along with recipes for all of the sauces， marinades and purees needed for any recipe。 Each recipe is accompanied by a full color photo and easy to follow instructions。 How about gluten/dairy free Pumpkin Pancakes o A cookbook filled with gluten-free， dairy-free， vegetarian and vegan recipes。 Every recipe is marked GF/DF/VG/V in both the table of contents and on the recipe itself， so it is quick and easy to find the category that you are looking for。 A full list of pantry ingredients is included， along with recipes for all of the sauces， marinades and purees needed for any recipe。 Each recipe is accompanied by a full color photo and easy to follow instructions。 How about gluten/dairy free Pumpkin Pancakes or Weekend Waffles for breakfast？ How does a gluten/dairy free， vegan cauliflower Pizza Crust with Seasonal Toppings sound for lunch？ On a chilly day， a hot bowl of Smoked Fish Chowder or Chicken and Black Bean Chil （both gluten/dairy free） sounds devine。 For dinner， try the Turkey Lasagna or Fish Tacos with Pistachio Mole。 Let's not forget the Dark Chocolate Truffles and Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Cups with Sea Salt - gluten/dairy free and vegan！I received a complimentary advanced reader copy of this book through NetGalley。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

I checked this book out of the library because I was looking for healthy food recipes and the image in the cover is a vegetable dish。 I was very pleasantly surprised to discover just how many recipes in this book are dairy free。 This was such a great find for this lactose intolerant human。 The recipes are a mix of Indian and Mexican dishes with a sprinkling of recipes inspired by other cuisines。

Though I have not cooked through the enitre book， I can say that so far the recipes have been great。 Not only are there options for meatless households and alternative recipes for the adventerous， I also found each recipe to be a source of inspiration to adjust ingredients， and try new things。 I felt the book lent itself to the humble home chef but kept true to the discerning pallet of a professional。 It has been a great addition to my cooking shelf which I find sometimes becomes a bit stale wit Though I have not cooked through the enitre book， I can say that so far the recipes have been great。 Not only are there options for meatless households and alternative recipes for the adventerous， I also found each recipe to be a source of inspiration to adjust ingredients， and try new things。 I felt the book lent itself to the humble home chef but kept true to the discerning pallet of a professional。 It has been a great addition to my cooking shelf which I find sometimes becomes a bit stale with the more safe and easily found recipes in books of old。 I recieved this book as a giveaway via Goodreads compliments of the publisher 。。。more

So happy to find a cookbook that can address my food allergies and intolerance with so much flavor！ Are there recipes with expensive or hard to find ingredients ， sure BUT recipes with costly ingredients are for special occasions and often I have been able to find elusive ingredients online。 Most of the recipes are suitable for every day consideration。 Beautiful photography and interesting text makes this cookbook interesting to read。

As someone who is a cancer thriver， I really watch what types of foods I put into my body。 This book is a really great book to have for those that are looking at adding some great new recipes to their meals。 I tried a quite a few of their recipes and have been successful- especially with the little kids！ Would definitely recommend this to many others looking for new recipes to bring into their daily lives。

Daphne Manning ，

I loved this cookbook。 It came at a time when being confined for an extended time I was looking to expand a meatless but favorable menu。 Well look no further。 The recipes are healthy yes but they also push the cook to explore the depth of flavor to be found in simple ingredients。 The language was straight forward and the pictures were helpful at least for this cook。 His inspirations blended the best of several cuisines to tempt the tastebuds beyond beans and rice。 A great find。Happy reading

Mary Migone ，

What a beautiful cookbook- the photos alone were stunning and grabbed my interest in recipes that I normally would not have tried。 My family and I look forward to using this cookbook over and over。

Culinary history is a rapidly evolving specialty， and while professionals， students and home cooks alike collect cookbooks， not every volume is one to truly teach， to make a contribution。 Akhtar Nawab’s Good for You is an exception， and a truly successful first cookbook。 As the culinary world shifts towards traditional cuisines that have always been primarily plant-based， both as an evolution in taste and as a matter of conservation and health consciousness， it’s important that thoughtfully writ Culinary history is a rapidly evolving specialty， and while professionals， students and home cooks alike collect cookbooks， not every volume is one to truly teach， to make a contribution。 Akhtar Nawab’s Good for You is an exception， and a truly successful first cookbook。 As the culinary world shifts towards traditional cuisines that have always been primarily plant-based， both as an evolution in taste and as a matter of conservation and health consciousness， it’s important that thoughtfully written guides show the way。 There’s plenty here for meat eaters too，as well as carefully crafted gluten and dairy-free recipes。 The gentle， wise narration provided throughout encourages， inspires and educates the novice and expert alike。 It’s rare to find a cookbook that has so many really innovative recipes， using ingredients that may not be well known but should be， as so many others are mere turns on classics at best or overly fussy and ill-suited to most readers’ lives and skill set， meant only to be stared at in a glossy photograph， and never attempted。 Grounded in his Indian heritage， the Mexican flavors come out of his current restaurant， Alta Calidad， an evolution he describes as “。。。overlap between the spices … it feels like home。”As for the photographs， Good For You’s are simply gorgeous， organic to the text， and balance the pleasantly modest narrative that explains the chef’s progress through life in and out of the kitchen。 As the author states in the Desserts chapter， “。。。what follows are some of my favorite ways to find balance between indulgence and health。” That could sum up this beautiful book。 Highly recommended。 I received a digital copy from NetGalley in return for an honest review。 。。。more

For a vegan cookbook or paleo cookbook， this very solid and includes paleo recipes and useful general cooking recipes。 It is a solid effort with inviting recipe such as Weekend Waffles and multiple fresh takes on standard shakes and smoothies and that ever tricky vegan baking。 However I've been reading recipes for Morning Glory Muffins for 25 years and so on occasion for me， this cookbook lapses into the tried-and-true。 Maybe that's just because those recipes are tried-and-true and so they've be For a vegan cookbook or paleo cookbook， this very solid and includes paleo recipes and useful general cooking recipes。 It is a solid effort with inviting recipe such as Weekend Waffles and multiple fresh takes on standard shakes and smoothies and that ever tricky vegan baking。 However I've been reading recipes for Morning Glory Muffins for 25 years and so on occasion for me， this cookbook lapses into the tried-and-true。 Maybe that's just because those recipes are tried-and-true and so they've been included。 But what is offered here that is new looks terrific， useful for easy to find ingredients， and as always actual food that will nourish you。 。。。more

When a lot of people think about clean & healthy eating， they think words like boring， or flavorless。 Good For You diminishes all of those stereotypes。 This cookbook offers so many healthy recipes， but all of them are flavorful。 It uses ingredients that you know are healthy， but probably have no idea how to use on your own， and crafts wonderful recipes that you can use again and again。 I'm excited to cook some of the recipes and impress my family and friends。 When a lot of people think about clean & healthy eating， they think words like boring， or flavorless。 Good For You diminishes all of those stereotypes。 This cookbook offers so many healthy recipes， but all of them are flavorful。 It uses ingredients that you know are healthy， but probably have no idea how to use on your own， and crafts wonderful recipes that you can use again and again。 I'm excited to cook some of the recipes and impress my family and friends。 。。。more

Good for You by Akhtar Nawab is a beautiful cookbook， in the subset of cookbooks I call "Whole Foods Cookbooks。" Which is to say， big and beautiful and full of sumptuous recipes， often with obscure

（despite the misleading subtitle about vegetarian and vegan diets， most main dishes are meat or fish ce Good for You by Akhtar Nawab is a beautiful cookbook， in the subset of cookbooks I call "Whole Foods Cookbooks。" Which is to say， big and beautiful and full of sumptuous recipes， often with obscure ingredients and/or complicated， lengthy preparations， billed as healthy。 But the term healthy in books like these is nebulous， a sort of Whole Foods healthy， wherein meat and fish are still consumed （despite the misleading subtitle about vegetarian and vegan diets， most main dishes are meat or fish centric）， and olive oil by the cupfuls， and eggs are frequently praised。 But there's no gluten or dairy， and the author recommends bison instead of beef and cashew-based sauces as replacement for dairy。 Occasional mentions are made of environmental benefit from choosing certain ingredients， but only for those ingredients which are environmentally friendly。 No mention of the other， more environmentally harmful aspects of other frequent ingredients。 This is not an environmentally friendly cookbook overall， nor， by my definitions， is it particularly healthy。 More healthy than McDonalds or frieds foods at the county fair？ OK， sure。 But ingredients like acai juice and a lack of decadent dessert recipes does not necessarily qualify food as healthy。Does this mean that I hated the cookbook？ No， actually， not at all。 I bookmarked many recipes in hopes of trying them before my digital advanced copy expired。 There are some lovely soups and sides， for instance， and a number of sauces and other staples that sound quite promising。 Everything seems a little fussier than my preferred every day recipes （The Butternut Squash Soup with Ginger and Chile， for instance， has 16 ingredients listed！）， but the recipes I did bookmark seem worth giving a try on my days off。 Ginger Blueberry Smoothie sounds delightful， as do Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burger， Black Chickpeas and Lentils with Spinach， Lentil Hummus， and Cardamom Almond Milk， as well as basics like Cremini Mushroom Sauce， Mojo de Ajo， Romesco Sauce， and homemade Tomato Paste， not to mention the Vegan Soubise that is central to so many recipes in this book。 Oddly enough some of the recipes I am not interested in trying are the very gluten free ones I came here looking for--the texture of his gluten free breads， pastas， and crackers， as described， sound very unappealing and not worth the extra work。I also appreciated all the little informational asides throughout the book， explaining the benefits of toasting spices prior to use or of soaking meat in brine or marinade， for instance， or how to make the best basic marinade， or the benefits of coconut flour， as well as a handy key at the beginning of the book for labeling recipes as Gluten Free， Dairy Free， Vegetarian， or Vegan （Those keys are used not only on each qualifying recipe's page， but also by the recipes listed under each chapter heading， which certainly makes locating applicable recipes more efficient。） and a thorough index at the back。 As mentioned before， the book is just lovely too， full of gorgeous food photography and sweet photos of Akhtar with his daughter Ela， or of a fit and healthy-looking Akhtar by himself。 Akhtar， as you might guess from his name， is of Muslim Northern Indian-American heritage， and he devotes a lot of space to talking about that， mostly about how it influenced his cuisine， and other aspects of his background， from his childhood as an overweight brown-skinned boy growing up in a mostly white rural southern area of the USA， as well as his experiences working at restaurants around the county， starting and running restaurants of his own and visits to rural areas in Mexico and Italy to learn about their cuisine。 The resulting cuisine of the book is a sort of Northern Indian-Mexican-Italian fusion that sounds tempting。 Sometimes his stories start to feel like name-dropping， when he mentions yet again the chefs with whom he's worked and restaurants at which he's worked or which he's run。 He also seems to exist in that Whole Foods economic bracket wherein running to places like Whole Foods for koji or a bottle of acai juice or a jar of ready-made fig paste is realistic logistically and economically。 Alas， we don't all live in that bubble。 My husband and I probably spend too much of our income on food， and even we don't keep the kind of expensive and somewhat obscure ingredients he often calls for （I love trying new spice blends， but even I'd never heard of Tajin seasoning。）。Overall a nice aspirational cookbook， pretty to look at and full of interesting ideas， but maybe not practical for everyday cooking for the non-chef working adult on a limited food budget。 Nevertheless， I enjoyed reading it and looking at the photography， and appreciate #NetGalley and Chronicle Books lending me a free digital advanced copy of #goodforyoucookbook 。 This is my honest review。 。。。more

Good For You is a cookbook that has a variety of recipes suiting a wide assortment of dietary needs。 It's probably better suited to people looking for healthier alternatives to recipes than people with a particular dietary need just because it doesn't focus on one diet。 I really enjoyed the simple but colourful pictures and layout of this book and the recipes are easy to understand。 The biggest constraint with this cookbook is some of the ingredients were a bit obscure so much so that I've never Good For You is a cookbook that has a variety of recipes suiting a wide assortment of dietary needs。 It's probably better suited to people looking for healthier alternatives to recipes than people with a particular dietary need just because it doesn't focus on one diet。 I really enjoyed the simple but colourful pictures and layout of this book and the recipes are easy to understand。 The biggest constraint with this cookbook is some of the ingredients were a bit obscure so much so that I've never heard of them。 So many recipes would need prior planning and ingredient buying。Overall its a great cookbook and I look forward to cooking from it。 Thanks to Netgalley。com and Chronicle books for my eARC copy。 。。。more

Lots of pretty pictures of what probably is some great-tasting food。 Recipes available for vegans， vegetarians， and those， like me， who are allergic to dairy， but not totally free for all recipes。 Some recipes I would like to try but not sure about some of the ingredient availability but may be able to find if willing to make the drive to find。 I love salmon so salmon recipes always catch my eye。 The use of spices in this book is great for those like me who do not use salt。 For those that have t Lots of pretty pictures of what probably is some great-tasting food。 Recipes available for vegans， vegetarians， and those， like me， who are allergic to dairy， but not totally free for all recipes。 Some recipes I would like to try but not sure about some of the ingredient availability but may be able to find if willing to make the drive to find。 I love salmon so salmon recipes always catch my eye。 The use of spices in this book is great for those like me who do not use salt。 For those that have time， there are some recipes that really sound wonderful。 Thanks to the author， publisher， and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book。 。。。more
