Love this book. Offering up healthy eating options for our family can be such a challenge in today's fast paced world filled with to go and delivery options. This book is a handy go to that makes it a little bit less of a challenge to make small changes and give our families better options.

I love how this book is put together. It makes eating clean for your family an achievable goal. This author really walks the reader through the different areas and it teaches you as you create a wonderful meal for you family. I can take the tips from one meal and apply it to other meals. Here’s to healthy, clean, green, and delicious eating.
I received a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to Netgallery and the publisher for providing me for a digital arc for my honest review.

"Clean Eating for Busy Families" starts with a basic introduction to what clean eating means. Michelle also provides you with her top five tips for clean eating. I found the recipes pretty easy to follow and most of the ingrediants are easy to find. I appreciate that she also offers subsitutions for some of the recipes. I wish there were more pictures provided. I prefer to see what the finished recipe should look like.

This is a wonderful cookbook full of recipes that are not only delicious but clean and healthy too! I highly recommend this book!

Some great looking recipes, but some are a bit complex and use ingredients that I wouldn't necessarily have on-hand. Quite a few of the recipes include over a dozen ingredients or are a bit fiddly like lime cumin vinaigrette. Less common ingredients include arugula, agave nectar, Chinese mustard, Israeli couscous etc. I like the idea of clean eating, but this is a little bit further down the spectrum than I would have thought would be achievable for families. The recipes, for the most part, look like they would taste great but, as a lazy chef, I'd hope someone would cook them for me.

This is an easy-to-understand book, with clear instructions and pretty. Despite that none of the recipes until now call me enough to make me try my hand on one. I do think that part of the problem is that I didn't have the oportunity to send it to my kindle, and I keep forgeting it.

I received this arc from Netgalley for an honest review. This cookbook is informative an easy to use. Clean eating can sometimes be difficult with recipes and ingredients that are hard to find and follow, but overall this cookbook was easy to use and I plan to purchase for my own kitchen.

Michelle Dudash makes getting into clean eating easy with this well-put-together cookbook. The first chapter covers how to get started, including suggested shopping lists, cooking tips and tricks, and ideas for getting picky eaters to try new things. From there, the chapters are pretty straightforward cookbook stuff, salads, soups, main dishes (fish, poultry, beef, and meatless), sides, and sweets. The recipes are clear, easy to follow and prepare, and most are quick, about 30 minutes. Each recipe has nutrition information, and is carefully crafted to be as nutritious as possible (the author is a nutritionist, after all). Throughout the recipes are notes with cooking/prep tips, ingredient substitution ideas, and tips for incorporating produce that's in season. For the most part, the ingredients used are easy to find; there's nothing too crazy in here. The recipes all sound delicious, and I would recommend this book to anyone looking to eat healthier, cleaner food.

This is one of the best and easy to use book for clean eating.

It does not complicate things or use hard to find (or cook with) ingredients. I literally want to cook ALL the recipes - even the treats, and I do not bake or cook sweet things (because I am not good at it).

Now I have a lot of recipes to try and all of them are really healthy.

I liked this cookbook and it is helpful. If you are a busy family interested in clean eating this is a good cookbook option. One element, aside from the great recipes, are the tips included -- very nice and helpful. One of the recipes we really liked and we had been looking for a great recipe for was the Green Tea Fruit Punch -- Yum!!

It was very helpful to have the calorie and fat counts already figured out for me per dish. I also like the subsitutions that were offered for some of the recipes. I liked the pictures and wish there were more. I like when I can see what the finished product should look like.
I found the recipes pretty easy to follow and most ingrediants are easy to find. Overall I would buy this cookbook for friends.

Of the cooking philosophies, clean eating is the one that makes the most sense to me. Mindfulness and reducing your carbon footprint. Local sourcing. I like that this book is open to the use of canned or frozen foods, suggesting that we at least look at where something is processed. Better to use a vegetable frozen a state away than a fresh one shipped from Costa Rica. It's also practical, especially for working folk.

If you follow my reviews, you know that I love to read cookbooks. You also know that I love my recipes simples, and my cookbooks full of pictures. The recipes in this book are simple amd include simple ingredients. You could totally do many of them on weeknights. However, there are not enough pictures! I love to know what my meal is supposed to look like... Even if it doesn't end up looking like the picture most of the time😅

Thanks to Quarto Publishing for my early e-copy of this book through NetGalley.

As a vegan I always try to minimise my consumption of processed foods - and this book has some good recipe ideas, I did enjoy it simply for that reason. thanks to the publisher and net galley for the advance review copy.

Was accepted but it then would not let me download. It just disappeared from the Start Reading tab. Disappointing!

I'm always looking for quick and healthy recipe ideas, so this book seemed right up my alley!

The book is broken down into the following chapters for quick reference...

CHAPTER 1 Clean Kitchen Know-How: Getting Started, Shopping Lists & Tips
CHAPTER 2 - Satisfying Salads, Soups & Appetizers
CHAPTER 3 - Speedy, Sustainable Seafood
CHAPTER 4 - Protein-Packed Poultry & Meat Mains
CHAPTER 5 - Hearty Meatless Meals
CHAPTER 6 - Quick & Tasty Side Dishes
CHAPTER 7 - Wholesome Sweet Treats

It is visually pleasing to the eye with bright colors, interesting fonts, and yummy looking photos ( although it would have been nice to have seen more photos of the finished recipes). All the recipes offer easy to follow instructions. With most having extra "Tips" "Recipe Notes" "Go Green" and "Nutritional Information".

Here are just a few of the delish recipes you will find within...

This was a good cookbook focusing on clean eating and whole foods for anyone but particularly focused on families with children. It offered a variety of recipes including main dishes side dishes and even desserts. It includes foods such as chicken, seafood, beef, and vegetarian dishes – – so nothing was off-limits. The recipes looked fairly easy to do and delicious and pretty filling. I would recommend this book to fans of cookbooks, healthy eating, whole foods, and eating healthy with children.

Special thanks to net galley for my complementary copy and return for my honest review.

Easy to follow recipes that actually turn out as good as they look. I found myself utilizing this book more than once when planning menus for the week.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC! Finally a cookbook focused on whole natural ingredients that has recipes my picky six year old might consider eating. Many of the recipes are super simple, which I appreciate as jumping off points for my own favorite ingredients. I can’t wait to make the cucumber and quinoa with feta salad, the tilapia tacos, and the fish and chicken foil packet recipes.

I loved the recipes in this book: they were easy to follow and full of details.
As I have to follow a diet due to health issue this book is a great help in finding new dishes.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Quarto Publishing and Netgalley for this ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book, all opinions are mine.
