In 2017, Stanton tapped into her education in fitness, health, and nutrition, and started the recipe-heavy Instagram account @broccyourbody. While her recipes and cooking style don’t adhere to a specific diet, they aim to be healthier versions of classic food that are nutritionally dense and satisfying. She also strives to make cooking less complicated and more enjoyable. Most recipes can be on the table in under an hour, and there’s an entire chapter for 30-minute meals. Stanton goes over basic kitchen tools and provides a grocery checklist that includes items for baking, stocking a pantry, and perishables for the fridge and freezer. The book covers everything from appetizers (citrus salmon crudo, Moroccan-spiced carrots with whipped feta) to desserts (salty, crunchy fudge and oatmeal cookie pies), and includes comprehensive sections for mains, soups, and cocktails, along with a chapter on healthier “restaurant remakes” such as the Chick-Fil-A sandwich and Taco Bell burrito. The recipes are clearly written and easy to follow; most can be adapted to be gluten-free, and there are plenty of vegetarian options.
VERDICT Mouth-watering photos and easy instructions make Stanton’s cookbook debut perfect for new or experienced home cooks and people who love to entertain.
