Simple, healthy and delicious food for busy people from popular cook and dietician Nadia Lim.
'By good food, I mean food that is both delicious and nutritious. As a cook and dietician it's equally important to me that food tastes great and is just as good for you. I've created these fresh, simple recipes with a focus on lots of colourful seasonal vegetables and fruit, healthy grains and nourishing protein so they're packed full of goodness that will look after you and your body. I want you to get off to a great start every day with a nutritious breakfast, look forward to a tasty and hassle-free lunch, and have fun cooking up and serving delicious, healthy dinners the whole family will love. I want you to get excited about cooking, eating and sharing good food every day!' -Nadia Lim
Packed with over 100 superb recipes, along with Nadia's trademark nutritional analysis, and many gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian options.
Nadia Lim, winner of Masterchef NZ in 2011, trained as a dietician and nutritionist at the University of Otago.She has a bachelor's degree in Applied Science in Human Nutrition and Post Graduate Diploma in Dietetics.
Born in Auckland, she lived in Malaysia for seven years with her family. Growing up in two different cultures helped broaden Nadia's food knowledge and palate greatly. As a teenager she discovered her natural flair for cooking and knew she wanted a career in food.
She worked for Auckland District Health Board for a few years, before winning MasterChef, after which she has worked for Regal Salmon and in the kitchen of Simon Gault's restaurant, Euro.
Her major project has been the weekly home-delivery meal service My Food Bag, which she set up with 2012 Businesswoman of the Year Cecilia Robinson and prominent business leader Theresa Gattung: Nadia provides nutritious seasonal recipes with all the required quality, free-range ingredients.
She writes regularly for the New Zealand Herald's Bite magazine, and for Food Magazine.
In another one of Nadia Lim's cookbook, we get to see a new arrangement with the sections. Loved the meal separations more than the seasons she used in the other. Great photography again and beautiful pictures of ingredients and meals alike.
Loved this book than her Kitchen cookbook as it seemed more approachable and do-able to bake/cook. Her tropical fruit museli is gorgeous and so colourful (love) as was the Japanese Beef and Crunchy vegetable soba noodles. Creamy rice porridge was so good (made 1/4 of the recipe with other things in the oven) and chia seed pudding so simple and interesting- definitely more a summer dish. Apricot chicken with broccoli and almonds- something a bit different but not my favourite.
Another healthy focus recipe book with great layout that makes browsing and using a breeze
