This looks like it might be a nice cookbook; however, the nine-page sampler provided is not enough to judge. The table of contents sounds good and the three recipes shown look good, but I can't really provide a fair opinion based on this.

Thanks to RedDoor Publishing through Netgalley for providing this sample.

My mouth was salivating as I paged through the truly beautiful photographs in Bryony Hill’s delicious cookery book, Grow Happy, Cook Happy, Be Happy. I am not a cook but the author’s warm, encouraging style and easy-to-follow recipes make me want to be! Especially intrigued by the artichoke and asparagus vegetable bake, to be served warm with a green salad, followed by the luscious Prosecco panacotta for dessert. Yummers!

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the review copy.

Although this is based on a sample that i received via Netgalley, there was enough in this book for me to say that it's a book that i would be interested in reading. I grow fruit and veg in my garden and could do with experimenting more by trying different recipes. Wonderful photographs. From the small amount of recipes in this sample book, it was the Strawberries with Panacotta that had my mouth watering.

My thanks to Netgalley and the Publishers for my copy. This is my honest review.

This book is going to be my go to bible. I absolutely love all things healthy and now that I have moved house. I cannot wait to get my garden sorted as I am determined to start growing my own fruit and veg and this book is the perfect accompaniment to my new adventure. I can’t wait.

I received a short 7 page preview of this book and I think the finished copy will be inspiring. I would definitely recommend it if you love great food and have a passion for gardening. Bryony Hill demonstrates an appreciation for good quality local produce and creating beautiful meals. I love the pop of color on each page and the fresh close to nature presentations of the dishes. I truly believe that Grow Happy, Cook Happy, Be Happy is an inspiring cookbook which many readers will enjoy.

I want to thank NetGalley and the Publisher for a free sample copy of this cookbook to read and recommend.

This was a fantastic read! I found it very motivating in my quest to eat happier and healthier.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a free digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I received a sample view of this book through NetGalley and the publishers for an honest review.
From the nine pages or sample of this book I perceived that from reading the introduction by the author it is a diary/cookbook with some very beautiful photography. From just the sample I would be interested in viewing the whole book before I purchased. Which means going to a bookstore or getting my local library to purchase a copy. From the one of the recipes which contains one of my favourite ingredients which is salmon I can say it would be a great book to read and purchase. The Strawberries with Panacotta would also be wonderful to make and taste as well.

I read this sampler and thought I would be delighted to read the entire book as it seems to be fantastic.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC

I received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

Unfortunately there was only like a 9 pages to really review and those pages did not seem to hold much for me. The recipes it included did not look enticing and there was no details on actually growing the food. I'm not sure what the rest of the book holds but the part I received was a huge letdown.

Anyone who has a veggie patch will confirm: there's nothing quite like the flavour of home grown vegetables. Not to mention the satisfaction. If you've never grown your own this book should inspire you to do so. Colourful, healthy recipes are grouped seasonally, according to what's in the garden or at your local greengrocer's. Interspersed with anecdotes, culinary tips and beautiful photos of the flowers and animals in Bryony's garden, this is a book you should read like a novel, from cover to cover.

Cookbooks are not just reference materials. They should be readable and enjoyable as stand alone publications. And include enough new recipes, or new takes on old favorites to tempt experienced cooks into trying something new. This book has all those qualities and some very excellent photos of that set off every competitive cook's senses. Read this enjoyable book that also happens to be a cookbook!

Generally, the book looks okay. I got access to one chapter only. I wished to have access to the full book to get a deeper review.
