Whole Girl

“I have had the privilege and pleasure of being uplifted by Sadie’s cooking and outlook on life over the past few years. Her outlooks on food, the teenage experience, and where our healthiest emotional priorities lie are so refreshing and comforting in these troubled times when teens are up against so much terrible coercion to feel as though they aren’t good enough. Sadie has set out on a journey to feed their stomachs and their minds with her beautiful attitude and respect for all women everywhere. I’m glad she came into my life, and I hope she nourishes yours as she has mine. She’s a true role model.” ―Jameela Jamil, activist, actress (star of The Good Place), and founder of I Weigh

“From the moment we sat down together for tea, I knew that Sadie was by far one of the most inspiring young women I had ever crossed paths with. From her incredible palate to her beautiful imagery, Sadie is a visionary all across the board. I am so excited for her book and even more excited for all that Sadie will bring to the culinary world and beyond!” ―Nikki Reed, actress (star of The Twilight Saga), writer, and entrepreneur

“Sadie Radinsky takes a joyful―and delicious!―approach to encouraging girls and young women to care for themselves as lovingly as they tend to others.” ―Lisa Damour, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Untangled and Under Pressure, and teen girl psychology expert

“Sadie’s book reads like a long, heartwarming, and uplifting conversation with a new friend―one you walk away from knowing yourself a little better. I’m so excited for young people to pick up this book, explore the world through new eyes, and forge an exploratory relationship with nourishment, both through her fantastic recipes and the journey of self-knowledge.” ―Stephanie Beatriz, actress (star of Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and activist

“Whole Girl is like a little pocket coach: whether it’s meditations, self-affirmations, or the Q&A, Sadie wrote Whole Girl in a down-to-earth and authentic tone that makes it such a fun read. The creative and healthy recipes make it easy to love food and enjoy cooking. There’s an amazing diversity in people interviewed to share their passions and lessons. Overall, after reading Whole Girl, I’ve learned how to be more mindful, listen to my gut, apply self-care tips, and be confident when handling different situations. The book teaches you how to be the most wholesome and best version of yourself!” ―Mikaila Ulmer, founder and CEO of Me & the Bees Lemonade, Time magazine Top 30 Most Influential Teens, and author of Bee Fearless

“Sadie’s book Whole Girl nourishes body, mind, and soul. In a world where food is commonly geared towards weight loss for young girls, Sadie created a book with no concept of ‘loss’ but rather what one can gain from a joyful, creative, and positive relationship with food.” ―Jade Pettyjohn, actress (star of Little Fires Everywhere and School of Rock)

“Sadie has the gumption, spunk, and awareness I wish I had at her age, or any age for that matter. She is the pinnacle of a person taking destiny into their own hands no matter what stage of life they are in, and for that, I love her content. Now I am glad I have it all in one scrumptious book. I look forward to all her savory, and especially sweet, treats for decades to come.” ―Holland Roden, actress (star of Teen Wolf)

“Sadie is an inspiration to all young women. Her work inspires all of us to take better care of ourselves and truly embrace a healthy relationship with food.” ―Kelly LeVeque, author of Body Love and Body Love Every Day

“In a world full of folks with remarkable talent, every once in a while a literal star emerges . . . and by star I mean a beacon of inspiration, insight, and hope. Sadie Radinsky is at once beacon, star, and hope. She has tackled the tough topic of helping her peers come to a better place with themselves and building a better understanding of food. Whole Girl is an amazing resource for anyone, but it is critical reading for young women looking for healthy ways to navigate their lives, emotions, and our complex food world.” ―Robb Wolf, New York Times bestselling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired to Eat

“Whole Girl is a book every girl, no matter what age or season of life they are in, should read. Being a celiac, as well as an actress in today’s culture, I have had my own struggles with my relationship with food and self-love, and this book is the perfect balance of perspective, compassion, and real-life tools to find your most energetic, happy self. From the delicious feel-good recipes to the mindful movement exercises, I took so much away from this book. As you read, you can’t help but feel how intentional and passionate Sadie is.” ―Brec Bassinger, actress (star of Stargirl)
