The Moon Cycle Cookbook: A Holistic Nutrition Guide for a Well-Balanced Menstrual Cycle is an interesting， unique， and easy-to-read book。 I think it’s an excellent concept and is really well-executed。 I like the book’s gentle colours and pretty pictures， practical advice， and approachable writing style。 I love the empowering and comforting feeling that runs throughout the book！ However， I wish there were more pictures and recipes。 Bakery founder Devon Loftus and nutritionist Jenna Radomski combi The Moon Cycle Cookbook: A Holistic Nutrition Guide for a Well-Balanced Menstrual Cycle is an interesting， unique， and easy-to-read book。 I think it’s an excellent concept and is really well-executed。 I like the book’s gentle colours and pretty pictures， practical advice， and approachable writing style。 I love the empowering and comforting feeling that runs throughout the book！ However， I wish there were more pictures and recipes。 Bakery founder Devon Loftus and nutritionist Jenna Radomski combine comforting and nourishing recipes with useful self-care advice and gently educates women about their menstrual health and well-being。 The book is organized around the four phases of the menstrual cycle: the menstrual phase， the follicular phase， the ovulation phase， and the luteal phase。 Each section features recipes for desserts， meals， snacks， and drinks which will positively nourish your body and comfort your soul and mind during the specific phase of your cycle。 This is a really unique and helpful book filled with wonderful and practical advice！ I learned so much about my period， my body， and how to better engage with my overall health and well-being。 This guidebook is an invaluable resource for women and girls of every age。 The friendly writing style is simple and easy-to-read。 I like that the advice and guidance are universal and applicable to women at every stage of life。 A lot of the advice is straightforward and common sense。 However， it’s presented in such a relatable and accessible way that you feel comforted and empowered。 The recipes are nourishing， clearly written， and easy-to-follow。 Each recipe begins with a brief paragraph which details the nutritional values of key ingredients。 While there are a quite a few recipes that contain meat， many of the dishes are vegetarian， dairy-free， and gluten-free。 I like that many of the dishes require common pantry staples and easily accessible items。 Moreover， while there are some more complicated dishes， these recipes are very doable。 There are interesting and unique dishes like Chocolate-Avocado Mousse with Raspberry Compote， Savory Millet Breakfast Bowl with Lemon-Garlic Tahini Sauce， and Rosemary Sausage Quiche with Apple Crust。 But， if you’re not feeling adventurous， there are some takes on classics like Chicken Fajitas with Honey-Chipotle Yogurt Sauce， Vanilla Chai Overnight Oats， and Cornmeal Waffles with Lemon-Blueberry Compote。 I loved the inclusion of innovative drinks like Vanilla-Cacao Elixir and Vanilla-Rose-Chasteberry Tea！ I really like the gentle and soothing colours of the book’s layout and pictures。 The design wonderfully suits the comforting nature of the book！ Poppi Photography’s full-colour pictures are lovely and simple。 However， I am a little disappointed because I expected more pictures of the dishes。 While I do appreciate that pictures accompany some of the recipes and advice titbits， I really wish more food pictures had been included as this is a cookbook。 The Moon Cycle Cookbook is a unique and fascinating cookbook that will be an invaluable asset to any woman’s collection。Thank you to NetGalley and Storey Publishing for this book in exchange for an honest review。🌕 🌕 🌕 🌕 out of 5 full moons！ 。。。more

I approached this premise as a novel approach。 I stand corrected。 It’s logical， it makes sense。 It works。 It should be on every shelf ， where women share。 It should be handed down through the stages of womanhood。 It should be required reading。 It will astound。

I haven't seen anything else like this on the market。 An incredible book to help all menstruating people understand their cycles and provide nourishing recipes for each part of the cycle。 The recipes are tasty and easy to follow。 Ingredients are easy to find。 The photography is lovely。 An all around great cookbook。 Would make a great gift for a newly menstruating person。 I haven't seen anything else like this on the market。 An incredible book to help all menstruating people understand their cycles and provide nourishing recipes for each part of the cycle。 The recipes are tasty and easy to follow。 Ingredients are easy to find。 The photography is lovely。 An all around great cookbook。 Would make a great gift for a newly menstruating person。 。。。more

I’m ALL about this book！For one， I love to cook and bake but more than that， anything geared specifically towards women’s health along with the mooncycles， I’m here for。 Not only does it include all kinds of delicious bites， but it also offers a message of empowerment and understanding of our bodies that you definitely won’t find in any other cookbook。 It’s so much more than I anticipated and can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy！ Five HUGE Stars！

I knew I had to read this when I saw the cover， it looks so yummy！ I unfortunately didn't try that exact recipe yet， but I did try four others。 We'll get back to that later。Firstly， I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the book and saw that it wasn't just recipes， but also lots of information about menstrual cycles。 Like what happens to our bodies during each of the four phases， and what we can do （and eat） to feel better。 I've had a period for more than half of my life and I didn't even kno I knew I had to read this when I saw the cover， it looks so yummy！ I unfortunately didn't try that exact recipe yet， but I did try four others。 We'll get back to that later。Firstly， I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the book and saw that it wasn't just recipes， but also lots of information about menstrual cycles。 Like what happens to our bodies during each of the four phases， and what we can do （and eat） to feel better。 I've had a period for more than half of my life and I didn't even know parts of what's mentioned here。 Perfect time to learn though， right？I like how the explanations are simple and to the point， no longer will I get confused about these things haha！ But really， thank you， dear author， for helping me understand what's going on with my body every month。 Before I move on to my sweet experiments， I have to mention one thing that I wasn't overly fond of。 And that's the presence of coconuts and avocados in so many of the recipes。 I'm not a fan of either ingredient， and some recipes make it hard to replace them with other things。 In general though， most recipes can be modified to suit your tastes as long as you like the key ingredients so that's good。And now what we've all been waiting for。。。were the recipes delicious？ Yes！I tried the Vanilla-Cacao Elixir first， and that was also the very first time I had maple syrup in my life。 It's really expensive here and I never had a reason to try it before now。 I skipped the ashwagandha， so I'm not sure how it's supposed to taste with that added， but without it was great and I'm sure I'll make it from time to time。 The next recipe I tried is called Oatmeal-Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Bites。 I actually made this recipe twice， the first time I liked how it tasted， but didn't want any salt in it， and the second I added sugar instead。 I looooveee how nutty it is。 I go nuts for nuts。The third recipe was Coconut-Ashwagandha Fudge， in which I skipped half of the coconut （just did twice the nut butter instead） and the full ashwagandha。 This is the best recipe。 I love it and I would make it every day if I could without going broke。And the final recipe was the Honey-Cinnamon Latte。 YES！！！ YUM！！！ This one makes me want to go back to drinking milk before bed like a little kid。 It's perfect。Next up: well， there's at least ten more recipes that I really want to try。 I'll attempt to time them with my cycle for maximum effect。*Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review* 。。。more

It’s August 2021 and reading about the menstrual cycle feels especially fraught。 Will the author make awkward， exclusionary comments about people who menstruate？ It shouldn’t be that a reader interested in the menstrual cycle and eating well should have to conduct an epic background check before purchasing a book。 But we do and I did and I’m relieved to report that The Moon Cycle offers exactly what the title implies。 A relatively non judgemental overview of the science and some nice recipes， fo It’s August 2021 and reading about the menstrual cycle feels especially fraught。 Will the author make awkward， exclusionary comments about people who menstruate？ It shouldn’t be that a reader interested in the menstrual cycle and eating well should have to conduct an epic background check before purchasing a book。 But we do and I did and I’m relieved to report that The Moon Cycle offers exactly what the title implies。 A relatively non judgemental overview of the science and some nice recipes， for when you’re feeling a bit delicate and your period tracking app keeps beeping at you。The Moon Cycle is separated into four sections， one for each phase of the menstrual cycle。 Each section opens with a snapshot of what’s happening to your body during this phase， what foods are best to eat， a couple of rituals， a poem and then some recipes。 The authors also link these phases to aspects of Chinese and alternative medicine， which went completely over my head but were still interesting， without becoming too Earth Mother Higher Power about the whole business。Read the rest of this review on my blog。 。。。more

Wonderful book for women in every stage of their life。 Maybe that time of the month doesn’t have to suck。 Maybe we can listen to our body and appreciate it for all it is telling us。 This book is full of recipes and ideas for helping our bodies to their fullest potential。 It also explains what your body is doing in each stage。 The pictures are lovely。 Some recipes need ingredients you can’t get at your local grocery store but should be easy enough to get at a healthy food store or order online。
