Well, it’s finally here. It’s with a lot of excitement, some nerves, and a glow of love, I am glad to say that my book is now available to buy both in ebook form and printed. Watch the video or read below for more information on this book. It was a lot of fun, a lot of work, and a lot of good food in the making. I hope you enjoy it.

This cookbook was inspired by the idea that food does not have to be complicated to taste good. Furthermore, good food is real food, such as dark greens, bright pineapple, or savory grassfed steak. The recipes in this book were created with everyday needs in mind. Practical, tasty, and simple enough to enjoy on a regular basis, but also full of nourishing, healthy ingredients.
Recipes include old time favorites such as Caesar Salad, a remake of your mother’s Jello salad (this time made with real food ingredients), and Taco Salad. These versions include fresh ingredients for a more nourishing and fresh flavored dish. For example, Mexican beef is made without a seasoning packet, fruit gelatin is made without reaching for a box of refined sugars and dyes, and salad dressings are made using pure ingredients, with none of the additives and flavor enhancers found in store-bought. In addition to old classics, there is a wide variety of fruit, grain, legume, potato and green salads.
I talked here about some of the back story to this vision for this book. I also posted how I increased my energy by a lot when writing this book here.

I have been waiting patiently…you had me at lettuce wrap! I have your other e book and I use a recipe from it at least once a week. Thank you for putting so much love into what you do. My family truly appreciates it.

Hi Samara and Nicole,
Nope, no other e-book. 🙂 Though Nicole, it sounds like whatever ebook you have I would be honored to have authored. 😉
Sorry girls! It’s called ” simple food for spring ” by Nourishing Days. I read so many nourishing food blogs I got a slight bit confused. :).
The book is beautiful, Kimi. Well done! 🙂
Thanks Wardeh!

Hi Kimi!
I love your website, and would love to have a copy
of your book. Was just wondering if you ship overseas?
If not I’ll get the ebook.:)
I love your website and read it faithfully. This books looks so beautiful!! And the recipes sound delicious. I’ve been wanting to eat more salads but somehow don’t quite get there. I’m going to get this book and really put it into practice. Since I’m on GAPS, no potatoes or rice for me right now but I could sure use those lettuce wrap recipes and classic salads are always a hit in my house. Thanks!! (BTW, you look absolutely radiant in the video. I’m jealous!)
Awww, thanks Magda!
Looks fabulous! Next up…..soups….please!
Kimi,
Your cook book is a complete work of art and full of nourishing principles. I have been desiring something like this for sometime. It is just what has been missing in my meal planning. We had the Taco Salad tonight for dinner and it was so wonderful. I bought the ebook but now want a hard copy too. I am planning on buying several copies for friends for Christmas. Thank you for your labor of love!
Hanni!
So glad that you liked the Taco salad! It’s one of our favorites. Which dressing did you use?
I am so excited to purchase the ebook and the hardcopy!! I love salads and am looking forward to using your recipes. They look simple, delicious, and easy to put together for busy weeknights! Thank you so much for your hard work!!
How many recipes are in the book? (Sorry if that is mentioned somewhere and I just missed it.)
Hi Sarah,
All in all, I believe it’s around 70 recipes. I am actually camping right now and didn’t bring the book, otherwise I would count it again. 🙂
Oh I’m so excited about this book! I just ordered the hard copy…Kimi, thanks for all your hard work!
Thanks for all the great recipes! I’m a student of naturopathic medicine in Portland, breastfeeding my 3 month old, and I use your recipes all of the time! I just purchased a hardcopy of your book for my home and one for my parents. I am so looking forward to receiving it, using every recipe, and being inspired to create more. Thanks again for the great site/recipe index/inspiration and what I am sure will be a fantastic book! : )
Congratulations, Kimi! Your book looks wonderful. I hope to order it soon.
Hi Kimmi,
Is the book in color? Do you have a picture of the recipes in the book? I was just wondering before I bought it. Thank you!
Hi Atlanta,
I should release a page for free download so that people can see the formatting. Will try to make that happen. But yet it is in color and it does have pictures (the pictures in the post above are in my book). 🙂
