Are you in need of new quick and easy but also healthy cookbooks? Well, after 10 years of cooking at home in the UK, Mr. O and I certainly were.

But it wasn’t just about any cookbooks – we really have been going down a healthier route and absolutely want to make things interesting, whilst trying to eat much better. But so many of the healthy cookbooks out there are so boring….

I did a cookbook post in 2018, namely as a way to share with my friends ‘the new healthy cookbooks’ I was using, and it was surprisingly popular amongst readers too – as were some recipes I did (for exactly the same reason). In case you missed it: a quick tabbouleh or a mango salsa.

Without further ado, here are 5 of the best healthy cookbooks for you to try at home, wherever you are in the world.

 

The 6-week programme by Louise Parker

Costs £20 from Amazon

I am actually on the 52-week programme with LP’s team and finding the book a source of recipe inspiration but also a great gift for friends. I literally bought 10 books recently and now down to 2. All recipes are pretty simple and super tasty – it is one of the best healthy cookbooks out there, but it will also help you in other ways.

Khazana: An Indo-Persian cookbook with recipes inspired by the Mughals by Saliha Mahmood Ahmed

Costs £8.99 from Amazon

I loved Saliha when she was on Masterchef and delighted she got this book deal. Her flavours are very exciting and ‘different’, but the recipes are again simple (or I cannot follow them).

Bazaar: Vibrant vegetarian and plant-based recipes by Sabrina Ghayour

Costs £7.99 from Amazon

I have featured Sabrina’s previous book on my first cookbook post and had some seriously lovely feedback from many readers – I am not vegetarian and I find the book useful for side dishes too. I am really into ‘Middle Eastern’ flavours, as you can probably tell! This ticks all the ‘healthy cookbook’ boxes and a few more.

Simple by Ottolenghi

Costs £16 from Amazon

S – short on time: less than 30 minutes I – 10 ingredients or less M – make ahead P – pantry L – lazy E – easier than you think – I tend to favour the S and the E dishes (I tell no lies) and that is fine by me. You can try some of the recipes at one of his restaurants in London (I like Belgravia for a quick bite).

Lisboeta: Recipes from Portugal’s City of Light by Nuno Mendes

Costs £24 from Amazon

You may have heard of Nuno Mendes in London – he is the executive chef of Chiltern Firehouse and has a few projects of his own (and is doing a great job of putting Portuguese food on the European map – and it needs the extra attention). I love this book as it really taught me how to cook some of the Portuguese staples I never thought I could. It has simple recipes like grilled sardines and pepper salad and a fabulous prawn and seafood rice, which I never thought I could cook myself. There you go.

So here’s to a great Summer – I hope you enjoy a few of the best healthy cookbooks in my opinion (and let me know how you get on!)

The closest I will get to a ski slope this season. I didn’t quite believe when the weather forecast actually said it would snow - but waking up to it this morning was pretty special. It won’t last but it’s life. Walking around today for our ‘permitted 1h of exercise’ definitely allowed for a change in scenery. ⠀
When this is all over - where would you like to go? And guess mine 🥰
Another week, another table setting, because why not? We are on our 3rd week of lockdown and I’m finding it much harder than before. The motivation to cook is dwindling but has to be done. What are you planning to cook this week? We are having zaatar chicken thighs tonight, Cottage pie tomorrow and steak Wednesday. Leave a comment below so it may inspire someone else, please. Every little helps (and thank you!)
It’s the first #PrawnThursday of 2021 and deserves to be immortalised on the feed. Our fishmonger took a little break and now I can say, it feels like proper lockdown. (For background, we discovered this great fishmonger who comes to our door every Thursday in April last year and he’s definitely made our lockdowns much better). Do you like #prawns or not so much?

Very wise words by my dear friend @molly.schoneveld. They really struck a chord. Here’s to a good first week of 2021.
As 2020 comes to an end, it will certainly be a year we won’t forget, ever. It was tragic in more ways than others, but there were also silver linings.
