True Roots: A Mindful Kitchen with More Than 100 Recipes Free of Gluten, Dairy, and Refined Sugar: A Cookbook

I am very glad I purchased! I was a little on the fence with the reviews but I’ve been bored with the same recipes and wanted something different and a little healthier. **tske the reviews with a grain of salt... let them give you skittle insight but make your own opinion. Yes there are pictures of food and Kristin, but honestly they don’t overwhelm the cookbook and they have the same amount as any other cookbook I have. I really like her descriptions on each recipe and you really feel like she’s saying them. I didn’t want to goncraxy with buying all ingredients so I chose three recipes to do and try them out and see how they were. Her recipes are simple and not a lot of ingredients. I also liked how there’s a variety of everything in the book from breakfast ,snacks ,drinks and main meals. I got the cookbook in the mail yesterday and made two of them today. First, I made the avocado chicken salad and I have to say it’s it was simple and delicious!! I ends up using her advice on easier and bought a rotisserie chicken. Second, I made the zucchini almond butter bloodies and Brought them to a cookout and figured my friends would be honest on a new recipe. They came out so delicious and were a hit! They were asking about the recipe and where I go it from. I am a sweet eater and for a healthy recipe i didn’t feel I was missing out and you really couldn’t taste the zucchini but they were super moist. Next I’m trying out the acorn squash for breakfast. I am really glad I went with my gut to buy theirs book. I’ve been a fan since Laguna Beach and your always hesitant with celebrity cookbooks as if there really good or just wanna sell something.. Kristin definitely is an amazing cook and has some amazing recipes. Ps I also can’t wait to try and make my own almond milk.

This book has seriously changed my cooking life. I have cooked multiple recipes and each one has been easy and delicious! We try to eat gluten/ dairy free and with these recipes they are both healthy and delicious even my boyfriend loves them!! My fav: the beef tenderloin- the best filet mignon I've ever had- a crowd pleaser The only thing I would say is there are a TON of pictures of her in the book where there should be pictures of the dishes! Also some of the portions are off- she said the cookies would make 50- they made half and the beef tenderloin and salmon 1 pound would not fill 4 people!!

Absolutely could not stop making almost all of the recipes from this book. This is one of the first gluten free recipe books I bought since diagnosed with celiac and no longer able to eat gluten. Before purchasing both of Kristin Cavallari’s cookbooks that were out at that time. (She now has another cookbook that just came out this month) All I can say is every single recipe tasted wonderfully. Was a relief as I had undergone testing all sorts of gluten free breads that was very disappointing (whom doesn’t love bread) Highly recommended, will be purchasing her new book shortly!

I was not offended by the amount of pictures of Kristin in this book like others commented. I do wish there were more of the finished products, but again not enough to not like the book. There is a nice variation of recipes, but I wish there were more family meal recipes. There's dinners, drinks, salads, sides, snacks etc. It's divided by type of recipe and then the kind of meat used (birds, roamers, etc.) Some if the recipes seem too fancy for toddlers but I like the ideas and was able to tweak to make them more kid friendly. Instead of cornish hens I kept the sauces and spices but used regular chicken- seemed like a no brainer. The white flour and refined sugar substitutes are great and the flours you can make yourself. The drink recipes and snacks were my favorite.

Great cookbook. Already made four dishes and I have only had this for a day. Simple to follow. Her smoothie recipes are insanely good. Love kid friendly options. A total winner. Need lots of alternative ingredients, but worth it. Like coconut sugar, almond and oat flour etc. She writes about why the dishes are her favorite or the story behind which is such a personal touch!! A few suggestions... 1. More pics of the actual food - you’re gorg but we already know that! 2. Calorie counts or 80/20 counts w alternatives for low fat 3. Write another cookbook soon PLEASE! She needs to write a kid cookbook - I would buy 20!

I was so excited to pre order this cookbook and once I got it, I must say..it did not disappoint! The recipes look simple, nutritious, and best of all...kid friendly! I love K’s easygoing and candid approach to cooking and life in general. She’s a breath of fresh air in a world of stuffy, strict diets. Looking forward to preparing several of these recipes for my family! **update: Made the zesty quinoa salad for a get together last night...it was a hit! The flavors were subtle yet tasty, was super easy to prepare and transported well in the car. I added an extra can of beans and next time I will add a bell pepper for color.

I really enjoyed the recipes so far

Tried a few recipes from this book and they have all been realitively straight forward and easy to make, not to mention tasty. I like that there are also child friendly recipes, my family love the zucchini almond butter blondies.

Me hubiera encantado que fuera de pasta dura pero el contenido, la calidad del papel y la fotografía excelentes!

What a disappointment

love, love, love this cookbook. I was looking to change to a G free diet after being dairy free for a couple of years. I was having issues with my gut and was working on reducing certain things like gluten in my day to day foods. This was a great way to do it. The recipes are easy and fun and if you pick up a few of the essentials listed to keep in your pantry you'll find it easier to make recipes on a whim. Can't wait until her next book!
