This cookbook contains lots of colored pictures and the recipes include Serving Size, Calories Per Serving, and what vitamins and minerals are obtained from the ingredients. Each dish can be prepared in one pan, which should appeal to most.

As I browsed through the recipes, most of the dishes looked yummy. And it wasn’t hard to decide that I’d love to have someone fix them for me. Especially since they also looked healthy. Yes, I said fix. I know from experience that if a recipe can turn out wrong, I’m the one who can make it happen.

Unfortunately, I have a definite sweet tooth, so I would risk making Maple Pecan Dessert Pancake myself! It can be served warm or when “chilled becomes more of an elegant flanlike tart, thanks to its custardy batter and caramelized sugars.” Now that recipe is calling my name!

I think many will be drawn to the various types of recipes and the fact that they won’t have to dirty a lot of dishes and pans.

My thanks to #Netgalley and Hachette Book Group for the ARC of # This #WholeInOne. This book review is only my opinion.

What Concerned Me:
Most of the titles are beautiful but sound foreign to a non-cook, who still has to cook! But in my case, the titles felt greatly intimidating, such as Polenta Cake With Red Grapes or Creamy Caldo Verde With Mushrooms. Those things sound like a chef needs to prepare them!

Without reading through the recipes and looking at the ingredients, the titles would have me swearing the book wasn’t mine. But truly, there is nothing overly scary about them. (I thought I’d throw that in so people like myself would know the book is totally safe to handle!)

What I Liked Best:
I am a great fan of keeping my cooking limited to one pan. (Or better yet, another person.) I also liked the fact that the instructions were straight forward and easy to follow.

It’s a yes, folks! Head to the store and check out this great new cookbook.

“There is no one ideal diet (despite what many marketers like to tell us). The truth is, humans can thrive on a wide spectrum of different eating patterns when they have a selection of wholesome foods to choose from. ...Tailor your choices to what works best for you at any given time.”

Yes, she advocates not labeling any food as “never eat”. This makes so much sense. I agree it is healthy to allow ourselves a variety of foods, even ones that we may deem unhealthy occasionally.

The somewhat processed ingredients in this cookbook’s recipes include fish sauce, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, and cornstarch. Ellie does recommend a couple substitutions such as cornstarch instead of flour. The recipes in Whole in One uses ingredients from all the major allergens so some people may need to substitute ingredients. The Complete Food Substitutions Handbook: Including Options for Low-Sugar, Low-Fat, Low-Salt, Gluten-Free, Lactose-Free, and Vegan by Jean B. MacLeod is a nearly complete list of food substitutions I bought to simplify this process for my children when they cook.

The great part about Ellie’s recipes is she use sweeteners sparingly. Honey and maple syrup are most commonly used with some brown sugar and a tiny bit of confectioner’s sugar. I love that the recipes call for lots of antioxidant spices and fresh herbs.

The promise of using only one pan or pot for cooking was very alluring. I was a little disappointed some recipes use several mixing bowls or a food processor so the dish cleanup is more than I imagined. None would be great, right? However, the Chocolate–Chocolate Chip Sheet Cake recipe really uses just one pan. All the mixing is done right on the baking pan. Cool!

I tried Maple Pecan Dessert Pancake recipe with a couple substitutions. My family loved the end results. I will definitely make it again. I am looking forward to trying Black Rice Coconut Pudding next. There are several dinner recipes that also look tempting.

One feature I really like is the nutrients especially available in each recipe are noted. Ellie does a great job combining healthy whole foods with spices and herbs for interesting flavor combinations and boosted nutrition.

If you have allergies, multiple food sensitivities, or are trying to get rid of inflammation or candida this may not be the best book for you unless you are used to substituting ingredients. It might still be fun to check out from the library though for some new recipe inspiration.

I will be enjoying more of the recipes from Whole in One very soon.

I received a free advanced reader copy of this book. All opinions are completely my own.

Good, solid recipes that sound warm and inviting. They sound especially inviting as we go into the colder months. The book is presented well and broken into respective groupings. I would have liked a few more images, however. I like to have one photo per recipe, and at least in my copy, some recipes did not have images. I love the idea of being able to cook if all in one vessel. I myself use many pots for cooking ,so an all-in-one is welcoming. Thank you for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

I included this book in a post about new cookbooks for October. The details will be supplied directly to the publisher in the next round.

I am very picky when it comes to cookbooks but I am so glad I did pick this one because I love it.

The recipes are easy enough that even I can do them. That says a lot because I am horrible at cooking.

I do highly recommend

I definitely liked this selection of recipes. I'm a big cookbook collector and would definitely buy this in paperback to add to my cookbook collection. It is all about one dish recipes which is one of my favorite types of recipes because it makes it so easy, less dishes, simple, delicious. Cant wait to start trying them all!

Many of these recipes look great -- simple to make and tasty.

For the vast majority of people, these recipes will help them meet their nutritional goals. For me, personally, many of these recipes are either too high in calories or too low in protein. I still find this book to be useful, but it won't be one I reach for often.

I have a lot of Ellie's cookbooks in my collection purely for food inspiration. This cookbook like her many others did not disappoint. Ellie manages to explain cooking for the most introductory cook in the kitchen in a simple way. The only downside was that I thought there would be more meatless options in this book. Other than that this cookbook is a winner to add to your collection.

This book first appealed to me because it has recipes to be prepared using a single pot/pan or skillet. I love easy recipes and easy cleanup. But, as I began to browse the recipes, I found an added benefit: the meals are healthy! For example, I'm not a big pancake fan, but the zucchini pancakes with yogurt feta sauce appealed to me. The recipes seemed simple and included nutritional information and notes about how long it would keep in the refrigerator. It would also be nice to know whether it's freeze-able!

The book is organized by main ingredient (plant protein/eggs/dairy, seafood, poultry, meat & desserts). I found the first chapter the most appealing (and I'm an omnivore). The recipes were different and appetizing, such as Loaded Potato Nachos, Coconut Curry Carrot Lentil Soup, and Broccoli Cheddar Skillet Strata. My one complaint is that there was a lot of white space on the pages and this could have been used to illustrate each recipe. Visual appeal is important!

4 out of 5

**OMG! I cannot believe that these reviews haven't been done! I am so sorry they are so late!!!**

I liked all of 5 things in this cookbook and 4 of them were in the dessert section.

I received an advance ebook of Whole in One via NetGalley to facilitate my review.

I enjoyed this cookbook and found at least a dozen recipes I'd like to try as soon as possible.The ingredients are easily acquired, the recipe directions are easy to follow and don't require any special equipment.. The recipes take advantage of in-season vegetables, and there are plenty of soup recipes perfect for the upcoming fall

I intend to purchase this cookbook when it's published - .the first recipe I make will be Herbed Pork Tenderloin with Delicata Squash and Brussels Sprouts.

A wonderfully put together cookbook. The ingredients are healthy and pretty easily obtained and recipes easy to follow. The pictures certainly add to that “yum” factor plus it gives you a visual clue as to how the food should look when all done. There are some that are easily converted to vegan, vegetarian, and/or gluten-free. This cookbook will make a great addition to any cook’s library.
I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for my volunteer review.

This is a cookbook chock full of healthy recipes made with whole foods in one pot or pan. There are several here that I’d like to try! The author also gives excellent suggestions for gluten substitutions if you are cooking for someone who is gluten-intolerant.

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I love cooking but hate the cleaning up after. This book is great for simple cooks and simple ingredients.

Ellie Krieger is one of the most talented healthy cooking recipe creators out there. I love all her books, and this new one is no exception. The recipes are exciting and new, and all made in one pot. Ellie's recipes always taste delicious. They are rigorously tested and well balanced. Her message of moderation and her continued belief that nothing is off limits for a healthy lifestyle really set it apart in a time when it is more trendy to cut out entire food groups. Her recipes remain good,, honest, healthy food without gimmicks. This book is beautiful and a continuation of all the previous wonderful work of Ellie. I am excited to have it on my shelf and to cook through it.

Thank you Hachette Books and Netgalley for a copy of Whole in One by Ellie Krieger for review. Available October 15, 2019 this cookbook is perfect for family cooking.

I love one pan cooking. It makes it easy for me to prep and put in the oven so I don't have to think too hard about dinner. My son is still young enough that I don't often get time to focus on detail heavy recipes for the weekdays so cookbooks like this really help make it all easy.

I liked the variety of recipes in this book and it might be the first one pan cookbook I have seen that has a dessert section.

I absolutely love the concept of this cookbook. With busier lives or small kitchens the idea of one pot cooking without specialty cookware is a blessing. Whole in One is built is a great way. First it is broken into chapters by protein source so if you want a vegetable based recipe or a chicken recipe you just go to that chapter. Then within each of those chapters they are broken down by whether you want to use a pan, pot, or sheet pan. The extra benefit is that all of the recipes look to be easy, healthy options. I will definitely pull this one out the next time I need a new meal without a lot of mess.

This book was received as an ARC from Hachette Books - Da Capo Lifelong Books in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

Ellie Krieger has been a nutrition advocate and Food Network Star for many years proving that you can make delicious and nutritious food. Whole in One focuses on the flavor of using whole ingredients in all of your recipes with using only ONE piece of equipment and no additional gadgets making it easier than ever. I also love that she also includes healthy desserts (which for most people is the most notorious) and she has recipes for all food allergies too including vegetarian, vegan, gluten free and soy and nuts. They all put home cooked meals very simply and can be done through any occasion any time of the day. I am looking forward to trying some of these recipes and sharing them with our community and maybe do this book for a potential cooking demo.

We will consider adding this title to our Cookbook collection at our library. That is why we give this book 5 stars.

Ellie Krieger's Whole in One is a one-dish cookbook that combines convenience with deliciousness. This beautiful cookbook is organized by meal as well as by sheet pan, skillet, or pot, which makes it super easy to decide what to eat. There's abundant options from vegetarian to seafood, and most hit the sweet spot of flavorful and exciting without being too complex to make for a weeknight family dinner. The book is filled with gorgeous photos and the recipes are things I really want to eat that are also fresh and pretty healthy. There's lots of globally inspired foods and old favorites with fresh twists such as shakshuka, falafel, and the classic hummus, though the hummus is inexplicably listed in the "meat" chapter.

This book will make a great addition to the kitchens of those looking for flavorful yet practical meals that can be eaten every day without spending all your waking hours in the kitchen.
