I loved getting this ARC, I’ve actually followed their whole journey on TikTok and getting to glimpse into these recipes in real time. Watching them start a family. It is a different kind of magic.
I can’t wait to see the magic these recipes work on others like Rachael! Hopefully they have a Tom too
I have been following @MealsSheEats on Instagram for forever. I was diagnosed with PCOS (Polycystic ovarian syndrome) when I was 21 and was basically sent on my merry way by the doctor without any guidance as to what I was supposed to do afterward. Only at the beginning of 2022 (at the age of 28) did I finally figure out what it was that I needed to be doing and eating to help balance my hormones and to help reverse the awful symptoms that come with this diagnosis.
The Meals She Eats Instagram page was a great source of meal planning inspiration this past year and I’m so happy to see them come out with a cookbook of their own! There’s not many cookbooks on the market centered around PCOS—trust me, I’ve searched everywhere!!—so this is such a big win for the CYSTer community. The couple also includes helpful tips & tricks and insights they have learned about PCOS throughout the years. This has good information and is a great place to start if you are struggling to figure out what to do!
I remember when I first saw anything about the Sullivan family on tiktok. I was struck by how lovely, kind, and generous they and the love they shared was. I was really impressed with this book. There was such care and effort into producing such a well researched and thought out book. Also, these recipes look YUMMY!
Alone with giving recipes for helping with PCOS it also so the woman who have PCOS that they aren't alone with stories from others with it.
Really interesting cookbook and story of the author and his wife's journey to health while living with PCOS. The pictures were beautiful, and the recipes look good.
This book also details the symptoms of PCOS, and the different phases of a woman's cycle. They have different recipes for each cycle, based on what the body needs.
I also really liked the 28 day plan of recipes to follow!
Thank you Netgalley and DK publishing for the ARC!
This is a really interesting cookbook that focuses on assisting with PCOS. It has great recipes in it, and it’s amazing that a couple were able to go on this journey led by the husband to find what worked for their family in having a child. Thanks DK books for this read as an ARC on Netgalley!
This is a sweet cookbook that involves information about Tom and Rachael, information about PCOS, and is a guide for what to eat to help with it. I’ve been watching them on TikTok for awhile and knew that I really wanted to read their book. It didn’t disappoint! It’s put together well and is full of useful information and cute pictures. I recommend it for fans of their channel, people looking for PCOS tips, or just people wanting some new food to try!
This book is so much more than a simple cookbook. Tom and Rachel you both have created a fantastic guide for couples especially ones with PCOS. The book goes over information about PCOS, the various stages and how the hormones fluctuate through her cycles. What I really loved was the breakdown of various cycle stages and the guide for foods to eat for what your body needs. Beautiful pictures and charts to make the information easy to follow and guide you through the process. The recipes are easy and simple to follow. At the end there is a 28 day meal plan suggested guide to try. I love that this is laid out easy to follow.
I’ve followed Tom and Rachael on TikTok since almost the beginning. It was beautiful to see them work together and how proactive Tom was in helping Rachael feel better and regulate her hormones. This book adds a bunch of small details and information that we never quite saw in the tiktok snippets of their journey. They both do such a wonderful job of explaining their journey and the techniques they use to help themselves and each other. This book is educational, sentimental, with a touch of comedy, and plenty of delicious recipes!
