So Good: Food You Want to Eat, Designed by a Nutritionist

Loved the book and most of the recipes are nice . One of the healthy books i liked.

I’ve been so excited to receive this after following Em on socials for so long and it has not disappointed. There are SO many recipes that we’ve never seen on instagram. The recipes aren’t overly elaborate with ingredients you can’t find or aren’t likely to have at home, also the quick protein measurements by each one are super helpful. The book is amazing quality and isn’t overly full with pictures - perfect balance!

I have been following Emily on Instagram for a while now and was testing some of her recipes. As they were all amazing I decided to try her book and what should I say? It was probably the best buying decision I've ever made. All of the recipes in the book are so easy and fast to make, require mostly stuff that you already have in your pantry or in your fridge and are nutritious and delicious! I use it almost every day for me and my family. Great feeling to provide them with delicious and healthy meals. And the best is that it is so easy to make adjustments. I am a pescetarian, my husband's a meat lover but I can easily make two equally delicious versions just by switching the protein. There are even suggestions for different proteins you could use . Emily thank you for this amazing book, I already pre-ordered Live to Eat. Can't wait 😉

My sister loves this. don’t understand but women seem to enjoy this “Emily English”

I have made 4 recipes from this book so far and so far, SO GOOD. I really have been loving them and how they are not only nutritious but really tasty. I am really happy with it and will continue to make more recipes. I would buy another book of hers if she comes out with another one.

I cannot fault anything with this book. As you can see I’ve made a lot of the meals so far. After buying the Bored of Lunch series (which is pretty hard to live up to), I’ve been sceptical about buying other recipe books. However, I’ve been following Emily on Instagram for a while and some of her recipes look “so good”, so thought I’d give the book a try. I preordered the book when it was on offer, so didn’t pay more than £12 for it, which is exceptional value for money. Since I’ve received this book, I’ve cooked multiple recipes each week, some for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The recipes are very easy to prepare and are delicious. (I usually have a tired toddler and a demanding 5 year old causing absolute chaos whilst I’m cooking dinner, so preparation needs to be simple and it very much is. I’ve found, sometimes nutritionally balanced recipes can be boring and lacking in flavour, this is not one of those books. Everything I’ve made has tasted INCREDIBLE. Most of the ingredients she uses are easy to find in the supermarket (Tescos, Morrisons, Lidl - especially for microwave quinoa), pricier ingredients are used sparingly and Emily makes sure you use those elsewhere too, so they’re not wasted. I’ve been able to use multiple ingredients across multiple dishes, which has meant it has not been costly to recreate these meals. Additionally, Emily provides advice on meal preparation and the instructions on how to store and reheat prepped items (which is amazing for me because I’m never too sure on reheating). The recipes are easy to prepare with no complicated instructions or skills required. I like that the lunch recipes are for one person - this has been amazing for me making lunches just for me, where as some recipe books, lunches are feeding 50 people and takes my entire lunch break to prep. Many of the recipes can be easily adapted (e.g. the sea bass orzo I've made with chicken because I couldn’t get sea bass from the shop that week - I don’t see why you couldn’t put in a vegetarian alternative to many of these recipes). Also, the recipes in this book are nutritionally balanced, this has meant, as someone who exercises a great deal, I've been able to adequately fuel myself, staying fuller for longer and upping my protein intake. I’ve found I’ve lost weight and have become more toned, less bloating etc. These recipes do take a little time in cutting up veg, but this has changed my life and if I have to spend 10 minutes cutting up veg, I really don’t mind. I’ve learnt new tips regarding seasonings on my meals and there’s even advice and a template for meal prepping - I’ve since copied this plan, printed my own and use this each week for planning meals in our house. My husband, who is not an adventurous cook, has been able to easily follow some of the recipes in here. Honestly, this might be my new favourite recipe book. I absolutely love it. Everyone NEEDS this book in their kitchen; it is AMAZING.
