No Crumbs Left: Whole30 Endorsed, Recipes for Everyday Food Made Marvelous: A Cookbook

by Teri Turner

Delicious and healthful recipes from the beloved blog NoCrumbsLeft.com-fully endorsed by Whole30As millions of people know, one of the toughest things about completing the Whole30 is figuring out what to eat next, the other 335 days of the year. Teri Turner, creator of No Crumbs Left, has healthful and great tasting answers. Food is Teri's love language, and her approach to getting people into the kitchen, rolling up their sleeves, and cooking is contagious. "Don't be afraid to it's just food," is one of her mantras. Teri's passion is evident on every page of her first cookbook, as she leads readers through a discovery of new flavors and spice combinations and teaches people to trust their cooking instincts. Teri's recipes, most of which are gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and Whole30 compliant, are what makes No Crumbs Left so unique. Simple and incredibly delicious dishes such as Pistachio Pesto Chicken Breast, Shrimp Pad Thai, and Spicy Pepperoncini Beef are on the dinner table quickly. The impossibly easy Sugar Snap Pea Salad features two of Teri's signature Magic Elixirs, Green Goddess Dressing and Smoky Pepitas, which are both made in advance and kept on hand to elevate countless meals. Her signature Marinated Red Onions, 999 Island Dressing, Gomasio, and Spicy Almond Sauce are true secret weapons. The Family chapter features the special recipes her own children grew up with and evoke home, love, and motherhood. Teri considers this book a love letter to her mother, and woven throughout are tips and favorite quotes to bring you right into her kitchen, where there is always an extra seat at the table.

I have been following Teri on Instagram for years and have been looking forward to this book....it did not disappoint. Food is Teri's love language and it certainly shows with not only the recipes but also the narrative and quotes included in the book. This book is a real gem!

[Claire · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really delicious and easy recipes that are Whole30 approved. Diverse options, as well.

[Natasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great cookbook with so many recipes I want to try. I read it from cover to cover in 2 sittings. Eating a Whole 30 meal plan can get boring and repetitive and it can be hard to eat enough fat with each meal - partly b/c of years of hearing fat was bad. Teri has so many great sauces (she calls them Magic Elixirs) to make eating W30 incredible. I have already tried the Cocoa Salmon recipe and it was delicious. Can't wait to try some of her salads.

I often struggle with cooking and this book has totally inspired me to cook. I’ve tried several recipes & they were all easy & delicious!

[Holly McDaniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great recipes. Would give it 5 stars if I were a better chef…recipes are a little complicated for daily meals.

[JILL MCBRIDE · Rating 5 out of 5]

Teri Turner is a national treasure. Her recipes are FANTASTIC but (more important) she's a lovely person. This is a cookbook I'll return to again and again. Everything I've made has been delicious.

Fabulous recipes that I will use over & over!

I checked this book out from the library to decide whether or not it was worth buying & it is now officially on my Christmas list. I'm not sure I've ever counted a cookbook as a book I've read, but I honestly read this book cover to cover and really loved it. Teri Turner's creative cooking is exciting and her inclusion of personal anecdotes makes this so much more than a cookbook. I also love that most recipes are gluten free, low grain, and low dairy-- or with dairy alternatives. (Don't get me wrong, I love bread and cheese as much as the next guy but I try to steer as many meals as possible away from grains and dairy.) I also love her "magic elixers"-- concoctions made to be kept on hand to enhance many other recipes. If you love to hang out in your kitchen and try new recipes that aren't carb loaded-cheese topped-casseroles, this is a great book to grab for some new & exciting recipes!

I am a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher (formerly called Home Ec) so I have read, used, borrowed, and evaluated tons of cookbooks in my life and this is by far my favorite. No Crumbs Left is page after page of beautiful pictures, friendly and delicious recipe, as well as, tips and stories you can almost hear Teri telling you as you read them. There no extravagant ingredients, equipment, or steps. This one is fantastic cover to cover!

I am reluctant to buy cookbooks because I am often disappointed by them. I may make a recipe or two from them and then never get them out again. That was not the case with No Crumbs Left! I have made just about everything in the book and many of the recipes multiple times!

I first found Teri on Instagram (also a 5 star Instagram) when I was starting my first Whole 30. Because of this cookbook and her recipes the Whole 30 fun and I looked forward to every meal. I enjoyed the process of cooking and everything I made has been delicious! Many nights I come home wondering what to eat for dinner and find my inspiration from No Crumbs Left!

I could go on but I think you get it I love this cookbook. Now I am going to go make some Spicy Pepperoncini Beef!!!

If you only decide to buy one cook book, this should be the 1! Terry Turner, in her most thoughtful way, gives so many amazing tips in the kitchen and in life. Her love for friends and family come through with every page, all of her remembrances of people in her life noted in little treasures throughout the book. Beyond that, the recipes are phenomenal, very doable, and absolutely delicious! She will get you excited about being in the kitchen! I am a long time follower of her blog, and from her blog recipes to every recipe in this book, they are amazing! I have personally cooked 45 of the recipes out of the book so far, each and every 1 is unique and special and absolutely delicious! Also notice the stunning photographs on every page!

Teri brings to life her passion and love of food in this amazing and gorgeous cookbook! It’s the book of the year for any new or seasoned cook! She guides you through each recipe with helpful tips while taking the fear of cooking away! You won’t be able to put her book down, the difficult part is deciding which recipe to make! And her endearing stories and quotes will bring both tears and smiles. This is more than a cookbook; it’s about life, living, the universe. Her loving kindness in her words and actions truly reflects how much she cares about others! Congratulations Teri, you are teaching and inspiring people around the world! 🌎

[Beth Breene Holmes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Whether you’re a novice in the kitchen or an accomplished chef, you are opening a treasure when you open Teri’s book. It’s technically a “cookbook” but it’s really a snapshot on each page of Teri’s innate ability to make each of us better both in & outside the kitchen. You will enjoy making the recipes, which are quite fabulous (understatement) but you’ll also love Teri’s Tips throughout the book, family recipes, stories that make you feel a part of a family you’ve come to love, yet have never met. That’s Teri, that’s No Crumbs Left, that’s a “crumble”... that’s why it’s such a gift. Get one for yourself, pay it forward and give it as a gift. 💕

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

This cookbook is a revelation - whether you love to cook or want to learn; whether you have dietary restrictions or don't; whether you have followed Teri for years or have just found her now. Every recipe is a masterpiece and so carefully thought out, tested and true. I've made each one and have not had one disappoint me or fail, which is a testament to the quality of the book itself and not my own skill.

Do yourself a favor - get yourself a copy and start from the beginning. You won't be disappointed!

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

I REALLY love this cookbook. I've had to make a number of significant changes to my diet over the past year, and Teri's recipes have helped to pull me out of a food rut. I find that the recipes are straightforward and delicious. I love how clear it is if the recipe is compliant Whole30, Paleo, Gluten Free etc. I don't think you have to follow any certain diet to appreciate how good this food is. It is not a sacrifice, it is seriously so packed with flavor you won't feel like you're conforming to a diet. You're just eating good food.

[Terri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Teri’s cookbook is amazing - beautiful photos, recipes written in an easy to follow step-by-step manner, lots of little tips and beautiful stories about her life. I especially liked the fact she mentioned her smoke detector goes off every time she makes her Greek chicken recipe (which is EXACTLY what happened when I made it!) Teri is so genuine in her writing that you feel like she’s an old friend. I just ordered a 2nd cookbook as a gift and she went out of her way to sign it for me before she headed out of town - just like an old friend would do 💕💕

[Rightsidefirebooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lovely photography and lovely recipes. I have followed Teri on Instagram for years. Wonderful book for people who love to cook meat and vegetables and have lots of dietary restrictions (I’m gluten free, dairy free, nitrate free necessitated by my health)

**I will say this book is “fancier” and more involved/more traditional than the other Whole30 endorsed cookbook I own. I also have The Defined Dish book and felt like her recipes were more accessible for family, picky eaters and every day budgets.

[RWEST80 · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is not just another cookbook! This is the story and legacy of Teri and her family. Full of delicious recipes and overflowing with stories of family, friends and wisdom to inspire your life. Teri speaks and writes from the heart. This book is a genuine reflection of her and her encouraging way of sharing herself, her skills and challenging you to create good food for your people to gather around. A great addition to any kitchen and the perfect gift for someone you care about.

Reading as many of the Goodreads Choice Nominees as I can

I liked this one A LOT in theory, but I'm not sure I will ever actually make something.
Basically, I would LOVE to eat anything in here (and I honestly wouldn't have noticed how much of it is "diet" based) but lots of it is too fussy for me to actually make.

Very nice pictures which makes sense since she came from the Instagram/blog world.

[Bridget Soup · Rating 5 out of 5]

This honestly reads somewhat like a book. There is a lot of storytelling even in recipes by the way that she writes. You feel there, part of her kitchen, and part of her family. It’s so genuine and not to mention delicious!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a collectible cookbook that you will write in, get messy, and cherish for years.

[Tina M · Rating 5 out of 5]

I cannot wait to the recipes in this beautiful treasure! From the elixirs to dinners....Great tips and amazing photography - I’ve never seen so many recipes in one book that are so appealing and presented so simply with whole -easy to find-ingredients that they are not intimidating. Looking forward to experiencing the flavors...stay tuned, will update...

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a "Whole30" book which I have no clue, nor do I care what it means. And no, I didn't read the foreword to find out, cuz like I said - I don't really care.

That being said, the recipes were were easy to follow, had great photos to illustrate and fit in the category of "everyday cooking" for people who like a nice meal but can't spend 4 hours preparing and cooking it.

[Kioni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Delicious. The recipes range from simple, fresh throw -together to fancy-schamcy feasts that make your whole body happy. I love the amount of pictured examples they have through-out so I can have a better idea of what the end result will be. I got this from the library but this is definitely now a must-buy so I don’t have to scratch my head for something healthy and tasty

[Jessica_loves_books · Rating 5 out of 5]

I mean-what an amazing cookbook! What do you expect though? I am a loyal crumble-even travelled to Chicago for a book signing, but this cookbook delivers beautiful inspiration, lovely and useful tips, and amazing recipes. If you are trying to cut down on your cookbook purchases, start AFTER you get this one! It is the best!

[Abi · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a beautiful cookbook that’s so much more than a cookbook. I just love how Teri weaves in so much love and character into the book. It’s hard to describe in the best way possible. She incorporates so many symbols and memories into the book. It’s just absolutely lovely. My sisters and I love cooking through her book. The recipes are delicious. I can’t wait to make more of them.

[Martha Gaviria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Soy una excelente cocinera modestia aparte pero esta mujer es mi inspiración diaria y me inunda el corazón de alegría verla triunfar, le deseo que llegue a todos los rincones del mundo y todos los idiomas posibles por que es un tesoro del que espero muchos se beneficien

Best cookbook I may have ever had, and I’ve had hundreds!! This will probably be the very first cookbook that I tried every single recipe in it. I’ve tried so many of them so far and every single one of them are my favorite! I love the little stories and sayings throughout the book as well. This cook book is a definite must have!!

[Selena Perez · Rating 5 out of 5]

It’s just FANTASTIC (in Teri’s voice)!

Teri inspires me everyday, she is my spirit person! All of her recipes are easy to make and my guests always love coming to dinner at my house because her recipes are absolutely Devine, and translate perfectly every time.

Also this book has the most amazing food photography which makes it even more amazing!

Thank you Teri! 🐓

[Jen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I ordered this book because of all the rave reviews.
When I finally cracked it open I was disappointed with this book. The few recipes didn't wow me at all. Teri seems stuck on her magical onions as if she created the first and only marinated onions ever used on the planet. She lacks diversity in her recipes unfortunately.
Disappointing. Wish I had returned instead I will try to give away

[Jenny Pena · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this book. It’s not just a cookbook but a book full of tips for the kitchen and for life. It’s a great source of inspiration for cooking more veggies and also those special family dishes. Absolutely recommend.
