A great cookbook to have on hand with a variety of recipes than what I usually see in one pot cookbooks. Definitely worth it to buy.

As busy as most people are nowadays, it’s nice to know that everyone can put good, healthy meals on the table using just one pot. Lauren Keating shows us how in her cookbook, Healthy Eating One-Pot Cookbook: 101 Effortless Meals for Your Instant Pot, Sheet Pan, Skillet and Dutch Oven. This isn’t a diet cookbook, and it doesn’t feature over-the-top tree-hugger style dishes; rather, this cookbook contains recipes that friends and families will actually want to eat.

One of the best parts of this cookbook is the fact that it covers several different methods of doing a “one-pot” meal: sheet pan, Instant Pot, slow cooker, air fryer, skillet, and Dutch oven. Even those who don’t have Instant Pots or air fryers can use these excellent recipes with their basic cookware. However, some of the recipes are so tempting, many cooks will want to add these appliances to their collection.

The recipes are succinct and easy-to-follow – suitable for beginners on up. Most have minimal ingredients and are fairly quick and easy. Besides mouthwatering dishes that are on the healthy side, there are some basics like marinara sauce and an all-purpose Greek Dressing that doubles as a marinade. Favorite dishes include Thai Basil Chicken, Red Curry Salmon with Vegetables, Sheet Pan Jerk Chicken with Potatoes and Green Beans, and Carne Asada Tacos. In the queue are the Sweet Potato Fritters with Chipotle Sauce, and the clever Sheet Pan Bacon & Eggs, as well as Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon & Pecans. There are also some desserts, like Cranberry Oatmeal Bars and Pumpkin Pie Rice Pudding.

There is something for every taste in this excellent cookbook. The only negative is that there are very few photographs of the dishes. In this modern day, when photography is so easy, even for us at home, there is really no excuse not to photograph every one of the dishes in the book. Cooks want to know what their finished dish is going to look like.

There are enough good recipes to keep almost everyone busy for a very long time. If you’re not bothered by the lack of photographs, this is a great book to add to every recipe collection.

Special thanks to NetGalley for supplying a review copy of this book.

The appeal of one-pot cooking has finally been matched with healthier food options. While I do rely more these days on my pressure cooker and slow cooker, there are weekends where I can easily see myself preparing robust and healthy recipes from this book.

While it lacks pictures, I like the variety of cooking methods shared in this book. All one pot dishes, but might be stove top, fryer, crockpot, or something else. Simple and flavorful.

I always love seeing new recipes and learning new food combinations. Being a vegetarian not all of the recipes were for me, but still a lot of ideas.

Easy and creative recipes! All of these recipes sound delicious and don't require too many steps. More photographs would have been nice.

With lots of recipe books out there that pertain to using only one pot, this one stood out as one that I could use. The recipes featured were quick and easy to prepare and cook. Further, they used one of six key cooking pots that most of us have lurking in the cupboard.
Ideal to use on holiday when you have limited cooking facilities yet still be able to maintain a degree of health eating.

This is the author’s definition of healthy “So, what is healthy eating? For starters, it means focusing on fresh, whole foods with an emphasis on fruits and vegetables, often referred to as clean eating. It also means choosing unrefined whole grains, such as whole-wheat flour, brown rice, and oats, over more processed options.”
There are only 5 methods of cooking used in this cookbook: pressure cooker, Dutch oven, skillet, air fryer and slow cooker, and the recipes are easy to make, and they are “one pot meals!”
The first one caught my attention - Carrot Cake Oatmeal made with steel cut oats, shredded carrots, cinnamon, raisins, coconut and maple syrup cooked in a pressure cooker! The Dutch Baby Pancake uses whole wheat flour, eggs, milk, butter, almonds and strawberries, and they are cooked in a skillet and in the oven.
There are recipes for Mushroom and Farro Stroganoff, Tofu with Peanut Sauce and
Curried Chickpea Stew that use easy to buy ingredients and take a very short time to prepare.
The WHITE PIZZA WITH CHICKEN & RED PEPPERS is cooked in an air fryer, which makes it crispy, and you can cook the chicken along with the dough. The CORNED BEEF REUBEN CHOWDER uses corned beef, sauerkraut, and sour cream, and it cooks for 30 minutes in a Dutch Oven.
The Pumpkin Pie Rice Pudding recipe uses rice, pumpkin puree, pumpkin spice and maple syrup, and it cooks in only 25 minutes!
There are also recipes for homemade marinara sauce, Greek dressing, aHomemade Enchilada Sauce even a pickle recipe that is done in 5 minutes!

This cookbook is a fabulous resource for those of us who are not whizzes in the kitchen. Each recipe is cooked in either an instant pot, a sheet pan, a skillet or a dutch oven; yes that IS why it is called one pot, but how nice that is when it comes to clean up.

The beginning of the book has advice about things like healthy eating, kitchen staples worth stocking, menu suggestions and descriptions of the various types of pots. There are then recipes grouped by breakfast, meatless mains, chicken, meat, seafood, snacks and sides and lastly, staples and sauces. A few recipe examples include smoked salmon frittata, sheet pan bacon and eggs, curried chick pea stew, Italian eggplant stacks, sheet pan chicken teriyaki, chicken and quinoa skillet, etc. etc. I read a number of these recipes very carefully and found the directions to be clear and easy to follow. I can't wait to start cooking.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this cooking treat. All opinions are my own.

This cookbook is for the instant pot, sheet pan, pressure cooker, or skillet. It had breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack recipes. I will be making recipes from all categories, because prep time averages about 5 minutes, and you don't have to babysit the meals while they cook. I think my favorites are the snack recipes as well as some of the different ethnic recipes that I'm not familiar with. A definite must for every kitchen!

I love finding healthy recipes and then to find them using one pot was a book I wanted to read. I found so many ideas in this recipe book. Carrot cake oatmeal and the Homemade enchilada sauce have already been household hits. She took basic classics and put the healthy twist on them.

This book starts with background info on healthy eating, and chapters are broken down by meal type or meat type. The recipes use an air fryer, Dutch oven, electric pressure cooker, sheet pan, skillet, or slow cooker. Each recipe starts with the type of cooking vessel, but chapters mingle all the vessels. Recipes also include nutritional info and special diet types (i.e. vegetarian, gluten- or dairy-free, etc.). There was a good variety of flavors and ingredients in the book, and a whole chapter of meatless mains, but some chapters only had about 10 or fewer recipes. I also wish there were more photos, and an awesome addition would have been a quick reference list showing all recipes by vessel type, because it is not obvious from very many of the recipe titles.
I received an e-book ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is a nice, basic cookbook that includes recipes for the Instant Pot, Slow Cooker, Air fryer, Dutch Oven and other One-Dish methods. Most of the recipes are variations on others I have tried over the years. I tried the Fajita Burrito Bowls and Cabbage Roll Soup. Both were good. I am a visual cook, however and did not like the lack of pictures. This is a good, base book if you want recipes for many different methods all in one.
