Review
In my first year fending for myself in the real world, learning how to procure quality meals while not breaking the bank has been a process. We're surrounded by endless options and an abundance of nutrition plans and food philosophies and it often seems more convenient to just eat out or order food for delivery. With entertaining personal commentary, The Anti-Cookbook boils it down to simple, timeless recipes that make learning how to prepare real home-cooked food feasible for any busy young professional trying to eat well for a reasonable price. --Olivia Nicholls, Technology Marketing Associate
Shelley and Rebecca share their wisdom for living fully and that includes fantastic food ideas! The Anti-Cookbook not only offers any young person starting out a foundation for living well in today's hurried world, but also strips away the often confining and intimidating process of eating well.the authors share their heart-filled stories and provide the readers with valuable and important information about how to care for the world by respectfully choosing how and what we eat. --Yvonne Tally, author of Breaking Up with Busy, Real-Life Solutions for Overscheduled Women and co-founder of Poised, Inc.

About the author
A veterinarian and a lawyer-turned-writer walk into a kitchen…We aren’t chefs and that’s exactly the point. Most people who feed themselves and their families every day aren’t chefs. We each bring our unique, experienced take on fashioning and balancing a life—replete with parental responsibilities and challenges. We met in college, moved into our first apartment together and began to figure all of this out. We went our separate ways and each amassed diverse experiences that have brought us back together. At fifty, we have a lot to share with our own young-adult children and you and yours as well.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018Much more than a conventional cookbook, The Anti-Cookbook has something to offer for everyone. Truly holistic in its approach to everything from food choices and preparation to parenting and ethical eating —it is hard to put down. The pair of narrative voices provides a nice counterpoint as they profer family lore, nuggets of practical wisdom, dishes from different ethnic backgrounds, and vivid experiences of raising sons and daughters. Not to mention the recipes—YUM!
The relaxed format —no rigid instructions to follow — should reduce anxiety and encourage creativity in the kitchen for neophytes and food veterans alike.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2019Useful.Some tips, tricks, advice and recipes I can use. Will probably read this again , and I will definitely try some of the recipes.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2021I love this product; simple, easy, quick, and the results are delicious. All really good stuff but I really got a surprise in the narrative along with the recipes. This is beyond a cook book and yes anti-cookbook name fits.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2018The authors share their widom, heart-filled stories as well as opportunities to digest deeper concepts beyond food on to our plates. As a Registered Dietician, I appreciate the inclusion of recent evidence-based research, the love and quality practical tips it offers to approaching food and cooking. A must read for all, especially our busy young adults who want to have fun with cooking, in an efficient, effective way!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2019Thrifty? She recommends you but things like a panini press for quesadillas. Also, goat cheese? Not thrifty. This was more a book about her life with some recipes thrown in. Glad I didn't pay full price.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2018Great read and recipes are easy to follow. The need for this book is brilliant! What I love the most are: variety, time-saving $, and the simplicity of ingredients used but not sacrificing the flavors. The writers have a lot of validity as season cooks themselves, but like the rest of us normal people, may not be a gourmet chef, or choose to cook for their children otherwise be reported to CPS and of course, it's great for the young adults living apart from their main nest.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2018This "not a cookbook" is something i wish i had going off to college. It is a smart and healthy way to think about food and enjoy it. I am placing my 3rd order, I have one myself, and sending 2 others to friends.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2018The Anti-Cookbook has been so helpful as a college student. Often times it's hard to find the time to make a fancy meal or I just really don't know what I can make with the ingredients in my pantry and refrigerator. This cookbook has extremely simple recipes that are not only easy but very delicious, too!
