Sometimes, I hate following recipes from cookbooks.
In fact, I rarely use cookbooks.
I’ve actually made it a personal goal of mine to make a cookbook recipe at least once a week — I made that goal in January. I think I’ve actually done it once.
No wait, it never even happened.
Let me tell you what I can’t stand about cookbooks.
I have to change everything. I sub out the chicken for tofu, the cheese sauce for nutritional yeast “cheese”, the cous cous for quinoa. By the time it’s all said and done, I’ve made my own recipe.
So when Dr. Josh Axe contacted me to see if I wanted to try out his new cookbook The Real Food Diet — I was a bit hesitant.
I think I asked a million questions: “Is it gluten free friendly?” “Is it vegetarian friendly?” “Will I actually use this book or are the recipes so complicated it will collect dust on my recipe book shelf?”
The answers: yes, yes, and YES!
While this cook book is not necessarily a cookbook that is 100% vegetarian, all the recipes are geared towards a clean eating diet — or as Dr. Axe refers to it as “the real food diet”.
One thing that I loved about this book is that it is geared towards people who are just beginning to explore clean eating. Dr. Axe provides a very reader-friendly introduction which is geared towards explaining why whole foods is so great for you.
My favorite part of the introduction is this “food matching” guide. The little icons are located on recipe pages and allow you to pick recipes based on how you’re feeling (sick, tired, etc.) or who you are cooking for (kids). To make this even more reader friendly, I would have put together an index for the icons so readers could easily find what they are looking for.
This book has a plethora of dishes in every category: breakfast, main entrees, side dishes, snacks, desserts — it has it all!
Some recipes I am dying to try:
One of my favorite parts of this book is how it does not heavily rely on flours or gluten for any of its recipes. In fact, the desserts are right up my alley — raw cheesecake, pumpkin pie, and chocolate mousse (just to name a few). All recipes are nut and/or date based which I love.
There is even a recipe for homemade ketchup — made with raisins (?!?!!?). You all know I have to try that as I am addicted to my ketchup.
Lucky for you, Dr. Axe has also offered for one of my lucky readers to win this cookbook.
I say lucky for you not only because this cook book is amazing, but he’s not too hard on the eyes either. I think he should be on The Doctors, no?

My favorite cookbook is the Cooking Light Annual Cookbook. I think my copy is from 2004 but I LOVE so many of the recipes in it.
My favorite is either Veganomicon or Happy Herbivore!
You are killing me by making me name a cookbook! If Mama Pea’s cookbook was out, I’d name that one but alas, it’s not so I’m going to have to go with the original Betty Crocker Cookbook. The peach cobbler is a classic!

I rarely use cookbooks - I mostly use blogs & internet for recipes. So, I don’t have a favorite - maybe this will be my new favorite?
I’m subscribed via google reader.
ok, never heard of that cookbook before… but he’s really cute!
I second that!
My favourite cookbooks are the Hungry Girl cookbooks, but they are full of processed ingredients so I tend to tweak the recipes quite a bit.
My favorite cook-book is actually my only one! It’s the Pioneer Woman’s Cookbook that my boyfriend got for me last year after I started reading her blog. While she doesn’t have too many meat-less or gluten free recipes, the way it was written and her sense of humor are great!
I’m already subscribed via Google Reader
i only have a few cookbooks but i think veganomicon is my favortie!
My favorite is my compilation of online and family recipes that I keep in a pretty binder on my bookshelf.
My favorite cookook is the new Happy Herbivor
My favorite cookbook (because I don’t use them much, either) is one my friend Hannah made for me right before I moved to Chicago. It has a bunch of new recipes along with favorites we’d make regularly our last few years of college together. Super cute…

Hi! I’m subscribed on google reader
What a great giveaway! Will definitely check out the book. My favorite cookbook is A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from my Kitchen by Molly Wizenberg. It’s really a great read for all her stories and the recipes always sound delicious. I tried her coconut macaroons and they’re swoon-worthy, and this is coming from a girl who hates coconut.
Also, my favorite cookbook is The Joy of Cooking. You can find ANYTHING in there!
I am also subscribed to your blog with google reader!

I enjoy Jillian Michael’s Boost your Metabolism cookbook. It even includes a vegetarian section.
Oh I lied, I also really love The Gluten-Free Almond Flour Cookbook. There is not one thing I’ve made that I don’t absolutely love. Very yummy!
Love the pioneer womans cookbook!
Oh! I saw that cookbook on another blog recently and I’m not going to lie, I want it. I’m a cookbook addict and not afraid to admit it! My favorite right now … is… Appetite For Reduction. Everything in it (so far) tastes amazing!

Martha Stewart, Great Food Fast. Not gluten-free or vegetarian, but easily adjustable
I quite enjoy “Skinny Bitch in the Kitch”
Favorite go to cookbook: Mark Bittmann’s “How to Cook Everything.” Literally read it cover to cover last summer. It is sorta how I got over my fear of cooking.
My favorite cookbook is eating for life…
I’m already a google reader subscriber…
My favorite cookbook is The Dancing Gourmet by Linda Hymes. So nutritionally balanced but all delicious foods!
I love Ina Garten’s cookbook, Back to Basics. I really want this cookbook!!!
My favorite cookbook is The Amish Cook’s Baking Book. It is not a “healthy eating” cookbook in any form, but I love to bake, and learning about the Amish culture is really interesting!

AHHH!!! Dr. Axe!!! I love him! He helped me SO much with some issues with my back a couple of years ago. He’s such a sweet guy (and super cute!
)
My favorite cookbook is this one I got for a guide to college cooking, vegan style.
I like The New Best Recipe cookbook. It tells you how to make just about anything!
I don’t use cookbooks! In fact the only one I’ve ever used is “The Cake Doctor’. So I guess that.
Although I hardly EVER use cookbooks, I’d love to win this!
My favorite is the Betty Crocker Bridal Edition Cookbook!
I love “The Cookie and Biscuit Bible.” It has hundreds of recipes that include cookies, breads, special diet (including gluten free) baked goods, and non-baked treats. I have yet to tire of the recipes!
Also, the doctor is in and he looks good.
I love my Giada DeLaurentis cookbooks, specifically Everyday Italian. However, my Grandma gave me The Joy of Cooking the Christmas before she passed away with a note written in it that stated “To the sweetest cook I know”. I believe that cookbook will always be my favorite.
My favorite cookbook is The Skinnygirl Dish

I can’t name an actual book for this.

I use the magazines all the time for dinner planning
I have too many favorites I think…
One of my best is a Mennonite cookbook called “Simply in Season.”
My favorite cookbook is my grandmother’s copy of the Good Housekeeping Cookbook from the 1960′s (I think). Some of the pages have notes she wrote about the recipes.

I’m not much of a cookbook-er, but I love my Bob’s Red Bill “Big Baking Book” (or something like that..)
Favorite Cookbook- just for sentimental reasons- my family cookbook from my mom’s side! So neat to see recipes written by aunts and uncles (and each usually has a special note about a family occasion the dish was made for!) My hubs has a wonderful book all about RICE! One of my favorite GF grains, I should cook a recipe from that book sometime. And I have an Oprah cookbook, it actually has some GREAT recipes!
Umm, does the cookbook come with his number?!
Whoops, I got side tracked by eye candy! My favorite cookbook is The Kind Diet

Well considering I don’t do the cooking, I don’t have a favorite cookbook BUT I have a ton of them ha ha. I like any from Tosca Reno and the Eat Drink and Be Vegan has some interesting recipes in it. Sure wish hubby would make some of the recipes from all the books I have but he doesn’t like to follow recipes. Maybe one day I’ll challenge myself to cook.

My favorite cookbook is actually one I made for my mom for Christmas a couple years ago. I put in all my favorite recipes - from growing up, grandmas, blogs, myself, and other cookbooks. It’s like the best of the best of the best.
I so want this cookbook, if only to gaze at the Dr. on the cover. Can I say hubba hubba without sounding too immature?
I have too many cookbooks to have a fave, but lately the Appetite for Reduction has been at the top of my list!
OMG I would love this cookbook! I am relatively new to cooking but I am adamant about learning new healthy cooking recipes. I mostly find recipes online but I do own a few cookbooks, one of which is the Joy of Cooking - a kitchen staple. I also have a crock pot cooking book I use on occasion for inspiration.
My favorite cookbook is actually a compilation of recipes that my mom has collected and that she calls our family’s cookbook

My favorite cookbook is my Costco cookbook. No joke!
Can I win Dr. Axe? (just kidding!!!) And to be 100% honest I have never opened a cookbook in my whole 22 years. Never. So if I had to go with a favorite because it is mandatory lets go with Julia Childs because she is the only cook I really know about.
I’m not a huge cook book person at all. Therefore, my favorite cookbook is peasandthankyou.com!
my favorite cookbook is The Gluten-free Kitchen.. perfect for someone like myself who has recently been diagnosed with a gluten intolerance!

The Flavor Bible. Not exactly a cookbook, but it provides information on each ingredient and explains what other ingredients to pair it with and the cooking techniques that can be used to prepare it.

I do not have a favorite cookbook
…yet. I am recently gluten and lactose free, and a new blog reader. After years of being tortured by foods I loved and much much poking and prodding by doctors, a simple blood test confirmed that I am in fact plagued by the digestive genetics of my family and am also Celiac (along with a cousin and aunt) . Within the total re-farb of my diet I also discovered my lactose intolerance, being 18 years old and a freshman in college, I didn’t even know where to begin. Confused, I thought the easiest route was to “ignore” my stomach pains and eating problems. Great idea right? Two years later, I’m self skipping meals and going days without eating (hey being hungry was alot better than pains I would get!) Now, I find myself a daily reader of your blog, cant wait for your posts, and have already read through months of your stories! I must admit that it was my wonderful ladyfriend who only showed me your blog a few weeks ago, but my life has changed! no more skipping meals, no more stomach pains! And your food is delicious! I am beginning to understand how long this path is that I’ve started down and I can only imagine how hard blogging is, but it is really appreciated and it really helps! Thank you 
I’m going to go cook something!
Wow - I usually don’t respond to “giveaway” comments because I don’t want to screw up the results, but I had to respond to this one Kyle. I am so sorry for all the trouble you went through. Finding out about allergies can be very frustrating, and I can relate. Those pains when eating weren’t worth it to me either at some points, but playing around and taking control of your own health is worth it. I’m so glad that you are feeling better and loving my blog!
I’m just starting out with this whole clean eating/cooking thing. I’m currently in graduate school in California leaving me with a super busy schedule. Luckily, cooking has become my way of relaxing, taking a break and doing something good for myself. Right now my favorite cookbook is Clean Food. Absolutely great, simple recipes that I enjoy.
my favorite cookbook is Veganomicon! delicious recipes and they’re not too too challenging
My favorite cookbook is “Cooking Light” I know…not exactly a book, but I LOVE the magazine and use their recipes a LOT!

My favourite cook book is my “Mrs. Fields Cookies Book” not because I love the recipies in it, but because I’ve had it since I was 10 or 11 and over time I have stuck all kinds of other recipies between the pages. It’s more of a file folder for all of my printed recipies now
I love MuscleChow! Great book! I think “Google’ should count, as I think most of us search the web for recipes. congrats to your sister!!! Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!

My favorite cookbook right now (I probably own 100 different cookbooks) is Any Phyo’s “Ani’s Raw Food Essentials.” I just found your blog a couple of days ago and I’m loving it.
Tweeted!
Oh and I follow you on google reader, does that count as subscribing?
And my favorite cookbook is one my mom made back in the 80′s. She compiled a bunch of recipes from family members and friends and gave it out as presents one year for Christmas. But if you are looking for a purchasable cook book then Cooking Light Complete Collection
Favorite all time cookbook is Veginomicon!
