If you are looking for information on various superfoods, this book is for you. If, like me, you are looking for a cookbook with pictures of the recipes, this book is not for you. I also wish it had more recipes.

The recipes in this book appear easy to follow with common ingredients to be found in the store, though I'm concerned about several issues. Why is it that many authors think that almond milk is healthy? Most grains, seeds, nuts need to be soaked in a slight acidic solution to deactivate the phytic acid which is an anti-nutrient of which almonds are particularly high in. Of course, you can always substitute for the almond milk. Other recipes call for "low-fat" milk, "low-fat" yogurt, and canola oil Much healthier to use healthy full fat ingredients and stay away from processed, fake "vegetable" oils. Some recipes appear to be worth trying. Yes, I suppose one can substitute ingredients, but with a full work schedule, I don't have the time nor want to bother experimenting—just want to follow the recipe.

This cookbook had some really great recipes. The recipes were easy to understand and not too complicated for the average cook. I enjoyed the illustrations and look forward to making these recipes for years to come.

Some delicious, easy to follow recipes with good photos. Will be using some of these recipes for years to come.

Many thanks to NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

Every time I hear “superfood”, my brain says “Well I may want to try to make it, but chances are good it’s too expensive” and then stops listening. The author of this cookbook knows that’s a common feeling amongst people and created a cookbook of recipes that focused on things we never think of as “superfoods”, like carrots, walnuts, apples, broccoli etc, so that one can find an inexpensive way to use superfoods in their daily dietary consumption.

Photos of recipes: 2 out of 5 stars
Nutritional breakdown: 5 out of 5 stars
Ease of following the recipes as written: 5 out of 5 stars
Variety of recipes: 10 out of 5 stars (the chapters are “smoothies”, “breakfasts”, “soups, salads and sides”, “vegetarian and vegan entrees”, “seafood and poultry”, “beef and pork” and “snacks and desserts” and each chapter has least 10 recipes. There is something for everyone.
Bonus material: 10 out 5 stars. I’m a huge fan of healthy cookbooks like this one that gives you a list of things that are always essential to keep in your house. It honestly makes starting something like this a bit easier. Also, the recipes are labeled with helpful hints of “vegetarian”, “gluten free”, etc., yet they also have other helpful labels like “under 30 minutes” or “one pot”

**received for free from netgalley for honest review* The photos and the recipes in this book are mouth watering, I wanted to go to the store immediately to try out some of these recipes but was reading it at like 10pm :((( but totally plan on trying some of these out! ngl there are a few I probably would not care to try but most of them sound absolutely amazing!!!

The book starts with a list of superfoods and an explanation of why they are superfoods. I found that the most helpful. I found some new fruits and vegetables to try and increased motivation to eat more of certain vegetables.

There were a lot of smoothie recipes at the start. I did find some good cookie recipes to try.

I received this galley from NetGalley.

Rockridge Press and NetGalley provided me with an electronic copy of The Easy Superfoods Cookbook. I was under no obligation to review this cookbook and my opinion is freely given.

The chapters start with an introduction and a section titled "Super Easy, Super Healthy Superfoods". There is a helpful definition of superfoods, which are foods with a significantly higher density of health-boosting compounds, like antioxidants, fiber, or Omega-3 fatty acids. I particularly liked the lists of most common superfoods, like certain nuts, seeds, and grains, as well as the list of more exotic or specialty superfoods, like hemp seeds.

The recipes list the dietary attributes for each, like gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian, and the like. As the subtitle suggests, most of the recipes are fuss-free and easy to follow, with ingredients that are mainly readily available at the grocery store.

Here are the section titles, with a few of the recipes that I found to be interesting or inspiring:

Smoothies: Cold Brew Mocha Smoothie; Sweet Potato Pie Smoothie
Breakfasts: Quinoa Breakfast Power Bowls; Spinach and Artichoke Frittata
Soups, Salads, and Sides: Spicy Sesame Chicken Noodle Soup; Thai Sweet Potato Salad
Vegetarian & Vegan Entrees: Spinach and Feta Chickpea Burgers; Mushroom, Kale and Farro Risotto
Seafood and Poultry: Coconut-Lime Shrimp Tacos; One-Pot Turkey Pasta Primavera
Beef and Pork: Baked Tzatziki Pork Loin; Spinach Caprese Beef Burgers
Snacks and Desserts: Raspberry-Coconut Oatmeal Bars; Trail Mix Cookies

Overall, I liked The Easy Superfoods Cookbook, but I wish that there were more photographs accompanying the finished dishes. With all of the colorful fruits and vegetables that are prevalent in these recipes, more visual stimulus would be helpful. Readers looking to try a new approach to healthy eating will enjoy this cookbook.

Thank you NetGalley and Callisto Publishing for the eARC.
This cookbook has a beautiful format, the photos are gorgeous, and the recipes are easy to follow and delicious!
I recommend this book to anyone who is looking to make a change in their diet because the explanations and recipes are laid out so well, and for those who already eat clean and healthy, but are looking for new recipes.
I have a spinal cord disease that causes inflammation in my body and chronic pain. Eating clean and healthy is one way to gain control over some of my symptoms and I look forward to seeing the results that adding this book to others I have received, will do for my health!

I absolutely loved this cookbook! My favorite cookbooks are plant-focused, budget-friendly and have easy recipes - this book meets all of that criteria! The recipes are gorgeous - full of nutrients, flavor and color! I can't wait to try several recipes, especially the Spicy Black Bean and Avocado Overnight Oats, Golden Milk Oatmeal with Toasted Pecans, Spicy Sesame Chicken Noodle Soup, Maple-Dijon Sauteed Kale, and the Savory Chickpea, Feta and Arugula Yogurt Bowl.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to feel better, eat healthier and incorporate more plant foods!

Thank you, Callisto Media and NetGalley for a digital ARC!

Great cookbook! I love anything with recipes but the information helped me too. This is perfect for any skill level of cooking.

As the title suggests, the emphasis on this cookbook is 'easy' - using the more common rather than rarer/exotic superfoods, in recipes with very few steps and ingredients, and using more common cooking utensils/machines rather than needing to buy a bunch of narrow focus machines. For that reason, I rated it a bit higher than perhaps it deserves; the lack of images of the dishes is glaring and problematic and the recipes aren't necessarily intriguing.

The book breaks down as follows: A chapter on superfoods discussions and the theme of the book. Then the recipe chapters: smoothies, breakfasts, soups/salads/sides, vegetarian, seafood/poultry, beef/pork, snacks. At the end is the usual measurement conversions and resources.

The recipes are laid out cleanly and easy to use. A large title in blue is then followed by considerations such as budget, gluten-free, vegan, one-pot, low ingredient, etc. There is a one paragraph short description then serving size, prep time and cooking time are in red so they easily stand out. Ingredients are listed in the usual italics and then steps are numbered in magenta. Each step is typically one sentence long and not long and clunky paragraphs to make them seem shorter (a definitely plus to this book). Serving tips in orange at the bottom and then the nutrition information (calories, saturated fat, sodium, carbs, fiber, protein) ends each recipe. Most are full page on me digital copy.

Recipes include: refreshing watermelon-mint smoothie, quinoa breakfast power bowls, curry vegetable peanut stew, turkey pumpkin chili, lentil-walnut tacos, ginger sesame tuna lettuce wraps, baked tzatziki pork loin, trail mix cookies, peanut butter stuffed baked apples.

I had no problem following the recipes and they came out as expected. I really liked that for the most part, the ingredients were very common items, easily obtained or already in the fridge/pantry, and that the steps were one-line and very short. Useful substitutions are given for nearly every recipe (often to make the recipe vegetarian), so most recipes, despite having meat as a listing, can easily be made vegetarian if so desired.

That said, it is hard to appreciate a book with only 4-5 photographs of the dishes. The dishes are fairly common and not exotic but at the same time, it was hard to visualize what I wanted to cook that evening from just text. E.g., I was looking at the one-pot three-bean chili and trying to visualize if it would be too beany and e.g., the crunchy bok choy slaw was good but sure didn't look very appealing in how I had to guess how to present it to the family. A cookbook without images is like going shopping by using text - it's difficult and unpleasant.

In all, a nice cookbook with useful and easy recipes and with a philosophy of making it as easy and hassle free as possible. I would rate it higher if it had images of the recipes. Reviewed from an advance reader copy provided by the publisher.

The Easy Superfoods Cookbook defines what superfoods are, identifies many superfoods, and provides recipes. There are very few pictures, unfortunately. Cookbooks need pictures. The chapter on smoothies was filler in my opinion. The rest of the recipes were fine, but nothing really stood out to me.

Thanks to Netgalley and Callisto Media for a free digital copy of this book. My opinions are voluntary.

This was a new kind of cookbook for me and I enjoyed all the new ideas. I’m a really picky eater that is trying to get out of that habit, so this cookbook gave me a few ideas to help me approach this. There are some recipes I know I won’t use, but some of these were ones I definitely want to try!

I have to admit I'm somewhat skeptical about the concept of superfoods in general, and Cooper seems prepared for readers like that. She clearly explains what's special about certain foods and how it can be so beneficial for maintaining good health. I liked her attitude in approaching the subject, and I was even surprised by some of the foods that have so many beneficial properties, so this was very helpful in ways that I hadn't expected. The recipes are simple, not too many exotic or hard-to-find ingredients, and all sound fantastic. It gives you a lot to keep in mind while shopping and meal planning. Very helpful and informative, I'm excited to try the recipes.

I rate cook books based on the following qualities
Photos - 3/5 stars this book contains photos, but not many recipes. They do look delicious!
Ease of ingredients - 4/5 stars. Most ingredients could be found at an average store.
Health - 5/5 the author’s goal is not for you to lose weight, but to nourish your body with a variety of ingredients
Appeal to broad range of people - 3/5 if you are trying to eat more superfoods, this would appeal to you. The recipes may contain meat, but no dairy.

For myself, I think I will try a few of these recipes. If you are already eating a wide range of foods, you will enjoy some of the unique recipes in here.
