Amazon Customer: Lots of nice recipes. Quite of few of the baking recipes use coconut flour, and I'm not a fan of using coconut flour and the resulting texture with all the eggs also used. Overall a really beautiful book that makes me excited to try recipes from it.

Brian & CaresseBrian & Caresse: Simple, delicious meals!! I’ve had this book about a month and initially started with a few of the breakfast recipes and just recently tried a smoothie, the soft baked chocolate chip cookies and the tarragon avocado chicken salad made with the easy slow cooker thighs. I’ve gotta tell you this is a great balanced book. I eat gluten free due to celiac but am recently trying to decrease my dairy intake and this book is perfect for that!!
Here is a review of what I’ve made so far:
Power C sunshine smoothie: bright (citrus), spicy, and creamy due to the coconut milk. I added a little black pepper and cinnamon to mine to make it a little more like a golden milk smoothie (it’s got turmeric and ginger in it). Delicious!!!!
Blueberry coconut morning porridge: a great take on overnight oats... again I love it with that coconut milk! Great to make on work nights for a healthy nourishing breakfast.
10 minute whipped banana almond porridge: I’ve made this several times now. It’s so creamy and lux. Perfect warming nourishing treat for breakfast!! I always was a sucker for those instant oatmeal’s but this really elevates your game!
Carrot Ginger...

Erin: The Laura Lea Balanced cookbook is a beautiful addition to my cookbook collection! Every recipe I have made has been delicious and easy to follow. I love the stunning pictures that go along with the recipes. The ingredients are healthy and are often repeated in many recipes so I am not constantly running to the store. I highly recommend this cookbook to anyone who wants to create healthy, clean and delicious dishes.

Jessica Leung: This is the only cookbook you need. It has heart and tummy warming recipes that make you feel good from the inside out. They are easy to follow, delicious, with layers of flavours that make sure you don't miss the "unhealthy stuff". If you only buy one cookbook, buy this one! I have used it every single day since I got it! LOVE IT!

Megan G.: In the world of Pinterest and blogging, you may wonder why you should buy this cookbook. Need a low carb casserole recipe? Google to the rescue. But as you have surely discovered, there are some chefs' recipes you know you can trust. Others, not so much. I assure you, Laura Lea's cookbook (and her website/Instagram) are sure to become a go-to recipe source.
Growing up, my mother gave me every Ina Garten cookbook upon release. Her recipes are almost always delicious and well-written. However, they are usually not very healthy.
Laura Lea has become my "healthy Ina".
In my 20s and now early 30s, I've tried to revamp my eating using Dukan, Paleo, South Beach, and my own versions of "low carb". The problem is that none of these eating plans are realistic long-term diets. I travel a lot for work, and have frequent client lunches and dinners. I also have a husband who grew up on meat/potatoes and subsequently has the taste buds of a 3 year-old. All of this makes both meal planning and control of my diet more challenging. What I love about LL is her approach to food - it is all about making healthy choices where you can, and not throwing in the towel when you can't....

Adrienn Piros: Easy, delicious recipes, very nice pictures. Actually it's the first cookbook I have( and believe me I have quiet a few) which somehow has an energy, not just pieces of papers.
Definitely worth to buy it, even though there are recipes on Laura's blog also, you will love to have this in hand.

Lauren McCabe: The Laura Lea Balanced cookbook is not only a wealth of inspiration and information for food-lovers of all experience-levels, it's also a gorgeous piece of art that I'm thrilled to display in my kitchen. The book is sturdy and well-made, with (literally) hundreds of pages of beautiful photography and recipes to suit your every fancy. I loved reading Laura Lea's heartfelt acknowledgements & I wholeheartedly agree with Alice Randall's comment in the foreword that "Laura Lea's innovative recipes take you on an adventure." This cookbook is a treasure.
