Supercharge Your Life: How to put real food at the heart of everything

by Lee Holmes

This inspiring and definitive book serves up 140 hearty, wholesome and energizing recipes, supported by approaches to living a balanced, mindful, connected and supercharged life.

Lee Holmes believes it's time to escape the cycle of restrictive and fad diets, and allow ourselves to fall in love with food all over again. In Supercharge Your Life , she shows us how to shed our fear of eating the 'wrong' thing and instead celebrate beautiful and nourishing food, embrace commonsense eating and make our kitchen the heart of our home.

You will find out how to set up your food workspace; simplify meal preparation; stock your pantry, fridge and freezer; and master cooking vegetables. Lee shares flavour pairings and food partnerships information; advises on setting up a basic herb and vegetable patch; and presents some inspiring tablescapes where you can rediscover the lost art of mealtimes at shared gatherings with family and friends.

Recipe chapters
Lee also provides menu suggestions for occasions ranging from a romantic supper to a picnic rug lunch with friends. Woven through the book is a discussion of the cornerstones for living a 'whole' home and family; health and longevity; friends and community; spirituality; finances; career and passion; and of course, beautiful and nourishing food, which can be a connecting force in every aspect of our lives.

I was provided a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.


So much more than a book of recipes and menus, Lee Holmes inspires readers with her love of real food and its connection to living a "balanced, mindful, connected, and supercharged life." Her tips and ideas focus on choosing nourishing food, presenting it in a beautiful manner, sharing it with family and friends and acknowledging its "connecting force in every aspect of our lives."

I have grabbed this book several times since I've added it to my cookbook collection in my kitchen. The photography and writing style are absolute perfection and I think I would compare it to Vogue's September fashion issues where every page is gorgeous, inspirational, and mouth-watering. I definitely recommend it to anyone with a love of cooking or someone who wants to be more connected and informed with their food choices. This would also make a gorgeous gift to give someone special.

Beautifully presented. A lovely book. For me, the recipes don't quite work. Almost every one contains nuts or coconut, which I'm allergic to. I guess I'll have to alter the recipes with substitutions. But if you're allergy free I'm sure you'll find plenty of tasty treats to try out. Love the texture of the paper used and the photography.

Durante il periodo covid, avendo più tempo, ho provato qualche nuova ricetta, salutare e sfiziosa.
Sono supercharged!
