Hello, my dear friends!
I have my BIGGEST holiday bonus ever to announce today! And rather serendipitously, it happens to be National Buy a Cookbook Day!
Yes, that’s an actual (and registered!) new day on the calendar, created by the wonderful Jenna Helwig to celebrate cookbooks and the people who bring them to life.
Now, I don’t know about you, but I’ve never needed an excuse to buy another cookbook. But for those of you who do need an excuse, well, now it’s official. (And here’s Jenna’s huge list of Fall cookbooks if you need some inspiration.)
I celebrated by buying Yotam Ottolenghi’s Simple Too. I already have an entire shelf dedicated to his cookbooks, and at this rate, he’s well on his way to claiming the whole bookcase.
Speaking of cookbooks...this seems like a good time to segue into my own.
When I published The Vegetarian Reset in 2023, I wanted to show that being vegetarian, eating healthfully, and being a foodie don’t have to be mutually exclusive.
The book has fresh takes on Indian, Mediterranean, Asian, and Latin classics, putting vegetables at the center of your plate. From cauliflower paella and paneer gnocchi to homemade breads and date-sweetened brownies. Food that celebrates vegetables, legumes, spices, and the incredible diversity of vegetarian cooking, without making you feel like you’re missing out on anything.
Since its publication, the book has won a Foreword INDIES award, a CIPA EVYY award, been featured in multiple publications including Glamour, Tasting Table, and The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and found its way into kitchens around the world.
But the most rewarding part has been hearing from readers who’ve discovered that eating well doesn’t have to mean giving up the foods they love. That’s exactly why I wrote it.
And now, for my holiday surprise!
Buy the cookbook. Get my entire course FREE!
This holiday season, when you buy or gift a copy of The Vegetarian Reset, I’ll give you complimentary access to the complete self-study version of my flagship course, The Vegetarian Reset Lab (a $197 value!), through January 31, 2027.
Yes, you heard right - the whole course!
The Lab builds on the ideas in my cookbook and takes you through my practical 4-step system for making vegetarian meals more nourishing, protein-rich, and satisfying.
You’ll learn how to:
Build better breakfasts that keep you full and energized.
Get more protein and fiber into your everyday meals, without eating tofu and beans on repeat.
Eat fewer carbs without giving up the foods you love, using clever swaps and combinations.
Make it all work in real life, with simple meal prep strategies that help you stay consistent.
There is also a huge recipe library with 100+ recipes and a 7-day meal plan to help you put it all into practice.
My hope is that the cookbook gives you the inspiration, and the Lab gives you the confidence to make nourishing vegetarian cooking second nature.
So if you’ve been meaning to get a copy of my book, or have a vegetarian friend or family member on your holiday gift list, I can’t think of a better time!
