Alex's books have come up as recommendations for me and I stupidly ignored it. I'm not sure why but I feel like I've been burned by boring cookbooks by very famous cooks. I think over time with experience you learn more about how to make a dish delicious, what works, what is lacking and what needs to be fixed. I have a lot of books where I have to make several notes on post its and it can get really frustrating when I need to modify nearly every other recipe. If it's a simple tweak, okay, fine. But if it's a mass overhaul and I'm ending up having to change the whole recipe, I feel so disappointed in the book and the money spent on it.Alex's previous book went down in price and I grabbed it with some hesitation. I felt like, okay, if it's not good I can return it or just put it on my shelf and not feel bad about the lost money at least. And I am SO glad I bought it.Alex's recipes are AMAZING! I absolutely love how she gives you options for gluten free, dairy free, whole 30. I don't go by any of those but I actually started to make some changes based on her recipe options.She KNOWS what she's doing when it comes to ingredients. I've made about 5+ recipes so far and each one has been great and turned out delicious. I have minor tweaks on my sticky notes but I am genuinely surprised at how well these dishes come together. How well the flavors complement one another.I would highly recommend this book and her previous cookbook if you are tired of the same old recipes that everyone else is providing. Alex is breathing new life into my meals and I absolutely love it.

I recently picked up the dinner tonight cookbook and it has quickly become my go to for weeknight recipes. The recipes are simple, healthy, and I use ingredients that I usually have on hand, which is a huge timesaver. Whether I’m in the mood for something quick or a little more adventurous there’s always a recipe that fits,The variety of dishes is wonderful. There’s options for everybody from Hardy comfort food to light or healthier dishes. The instructions are clear and prep times are realistic, which is great for busy evenings I’ve already tried several of the recipes and they turned out delicious.

Alex always finds a way to make cooking approachable, enjoyable and delicious. Her book arrived today and I immediately was off to the grocery store to try my first recipe! We made the curry chicken skillet with sweet potatoes and YUM! We also made the one skillet lasagna which was super easy and will be on rotation in this house (TY for the sneak peek!).I have followed Alex for a few years on social media and her recipes do not disappoint. I am a proud owner of all 3 cookbooks and continue to refer back to them plus her website for inspiration.Highly recommend this book if you’re looking to try something new & healthy without sacrificing flavour.Update: I’ve cooked through the entire book and would say there are a fair amount of “easy” weeknight dinners but also many that take a good amount of prep/cook time. We were unfortunately underwhelmed by more of them than we expected but will add a few into our rotation; sour cream enchiladas, beef shawarma and fattoush salad, bang bang shrimp, chili lime chicken, and a few more.

I made my 10th recipe out of this book last night. I love everything I’ve made! Alex uses herbs and combines flavors for sauces and salad dressings that are unique and healthy. The recipes have a lot of ingredients, but they are simple to follow and put together and the combination of flavors makes each dish unique. Thank you, Alex for this healthy cookbook.
