“Swanson’s vegetarian recipes (and her head-spinningly lovely photography) manage to straddle the healthy/indulgent line with Cali-style effortlessness. And unlike some other allegedly health-minded writers, Swanson’s spot-on flavor instincts and skillful use of on-trend ingredients mean that we can trust her never, ever to throw ashwagandha into our minestrone.”

MORE THAN 120 WHOLE_FOOD, VEGETARIAN RECIPES for quick weeknight meals full of flavor, spice, color, and nutrition from the New York Times bestselling author of Super Natural Cooking.

If you're looking for approachable ways to work more vegetables and whole foods onto your plate, this book is for you. In this artfully photographed collection, James Beard Award-winning author and beloved blogger Heidi Swanson presents recipes with short ingredients lists, make-ahead techniques, and clever methods to create high-impact meals. Dishes like French Onion Breakfast Strata, Blistered Cherry Tomato Soba, Crunchy Peanut and Saffron Citrus Salad, Ravioli in Toasted Almond Broth, and Jasmine Tea Sparkler are easy to prepare and beautiful on the table.

The magic (and benefits!) of cooking with nutrient-dense plants, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other natural foods are real. Spices like turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, paprika, and chiles are shown to have health-protecting qualities while herbs contribute powerful phytonutrients to prevent disease and keep our bodies working properly. Staying connected to what you eat is one of the most impactful ways to support your health and well-being.

Super Natural Simple features recipes for make-ahead mornings, weeknight noodles, one-bowl baking, the best salads, nourishing soups and stews, easy-drinking refreshers, single skillets, sheet-pan meals, and easy grills, while a power pantry provides the staples you'll want to have on hand. With 150 photographs reflecting Heidi's sunny Southern California lifestyle, Super Natural Simple makes eating well second nature.

“Over the last decade, Heidi Swanson has done more than anyone to diversify the modern pantry and elevate kitchen aesthetics. ”
— Samin Nosrat, chef and writer
“We’ve been (trying) to cook like Heidi since she first published Super Natural Cooking in 2007, stocking our pantry with whole grains, seeds, nuts, dried fruits and spices that we never cooked with before. Every meal that hits the table usually has pulses or rice, combined with nuts or seeds and lots of fresh herbs...”
— EAT. DRINK. THINK. from Edible San Francisco
“...Swanson not only goes a long way toward helping ‘whole’ foods shed their stale, hippie stigma but also makes a strong case for putting natural foods at the center of an emerging, modern, global cuisine.”
