I learned SO much from this book! I am no expert on how to store certain foods to prolong their use in my kitchen, but this book is helping me work my way there. I really like how this makes me feel more competent in the kitchen by helping me organize everything in a healthy manner. Thank you to NetGalley and Mariner Books (formerly HMH Books) for a copy of this book for an honest review.

Book received for free through NetGalley.

I meant to review this book sooner but I got bogged down by the first part of the book as it offered so much information and I never even got to the storage guide or recipes yet. This book is amazing! Even ignoring the recipes I can see this being the perfect reference guide that you go back to time and time again. The images are incredibly brilliant and perfect. So glad I came across this book and I haven't even finished it... yet.

I really enjoyed the Tips and scientific info on the best way to store foods to prevent waste especially for berries as I struggle the most with keeping those fresh!
This book is great for anyone looking to organize their fridge for high nutrient use or to just be more intentional in your fridge organization.
I recently reorganized our pantry and I’m so excited to start on our fridge as well thanks to Fridge Love!
She encourages being patient with this process and coming into it knowing that it will take time and practice to get better. The author encourages you to be happy and utilize the fridge you have now-if it works then it’s fine! No need to buy a new fancy fridge to take part in fridge love.

She also Helps you identify your goals for your fridge organization with 4 different “types” understanding that everyone’s goal and wants/needs with their fridge will be different.
I chose the “The Fresh Fridge” because I want to eat more fresh produce while still maintaining some processed foods (like our vegan prepacked dinners). But I don’t want to meal prep for a whole week. This method will encourage eating more fruits and veggies while helping me learn how to make them last longer!
Talks about the air flow, temperature, and more “technical things” your fridge has (I skimmed most of this as it was very info heavy). This comes in handy when talking about how to organize.
Nice to see Eco friendly solutions for storage including silicone bags and cloth covers instead of plastic bags. I definitely have been wanting to use less plastic so glad to have these suggestions to try!

Overall very helpful tips for organizing your fridge and extending the shelf life of your food ☺️

We recently bought a house that came with a new fridge and I hate it, but it's a pandemic and it feels silly to buy a new one just because I don't like the design of my current one (side by side), so I was very excited to read this book and it didn't disappoint.

There are so many gorgeous photos of well organized fridges. I appreciate how the author talks about buying produce in season and how to buy the freshest ingredients before moving onto preparing them for storage in your fridge. Her usage of glass jars and storage containers makes a lot of sense - things are visible and it cuts down on environmental waste. She encourages the reader to use what they buy, helping you to waste less and save money. There are loads of delicious, healthy recipes at the back of the book which I liked immensely, since the author is a Nutritarian. It means she follows the diet in the book “Eat to Live” by Dr. Joel Fuhrman which is mainly plant-based, gluten-free, low in salt, and fat..

If you need a major fridge overhaul, pick up this book. If you get lost in a spiral of organization photos and videos on Instagram, pick up this book. There are lots of great tips for not only making your fridge aesthetically pleasing, but efficiently laid out, and suited to your lifestyle. You'll find tips for ensuring your food stays fresh longer, that your fridge is cooling properly and effectively, and that you'll minimize food waste by actually using what's inside.

I appreciated that the author stressed not running out and buying a new fridge to solve your problems, that what is suggested can be achieved in most any fridge!

I found some helpful tips to use, but the scope was maybe more than I personally will use or tackle myself.

Thank you for the chance to read and review this title!

This was such an aesthetic book to read. Loved the pictures, which definitely inspired me to look for ways to be better at organizing my fridge. It's amazing how there's a science to it, and was to keep your food as fresh as possible and being efficient with fridge space. Even if you don't plan on doing a whole fridge makeover, it provides a lot of good tips and insights that you'll always keep in mind whenever filling your fridge with new grocery items!

I was immediately enticed by the title and the photos on the front cover because who doesn't yearn for a better organized refrigerator? Yet, I found it hard to approach this book as there was a certain amount of guilt involved and a certain amount of self-reflection. Not pretty!
This is a book I'd give to someone starting out on their own, or to a couple just starting life together. This is the time for forming good habits. So, as a gift, thumbs up!

Loved this book because it helped me understand better how to organise my fridge in order to avoid waste but what happens to produce when it's kept in the fridge or out of it and why it's best to keep some products in or out of the fridge. The recipes are simple and interesting.

I thought this book would simply be about organizing ones fridge, but it was so much more!
Author Kristen Hong does discuss organizing the fridge and categorizing your fridges contents, but she also discusses the history of refrigeration, how to prep and store all of your fruits and veggies, gives a basic run-down of the nutritarian diet and also includes a bunch of yummy vegan recipes! This was unexpected and very much appreciated.

Hong takes an in-depth look at the refrigerator, including historical roots and how to adjust your settings, to give practical advice on organizing your home fridge. This is definitely aspirational--lots of photos of perfectly clean fridges with identical jars and containers, plus her smiling family enjoying the food from sad containers--but has useful tips, too. She covers shopping, prepping, chopping, and making your fridge work for you and your family. Plus interesting recipes.

So A+ to the author for embracing her love of fridges - although I did find the history of refrigerators a complete snorefest. However, she should also get an A+ for ideas on extending fruits and veggies and how to pair them together and mason jar storage ideas. The only issue is that I'm in a rental so I don't have the ability nor would I want to buy a ton of fridges. You need space, like lots of it, to accomplish what she has done. I guess this helps people to have aspirational future home buying goals to get a place with multiple fridges or the ability to install extra ones. Also from a practical standpoint, I'm still not sold on the benefit of spending sooo-o much time on this endeavor when you have only one fridge. I'm single and still couldn't find enough room with the storage items to fit everything in. However, I love that this book was written and someone actually focused on this subject!

I have mixed feelings while reading this because a part of my idolization of the perfect fridge, as part of my want for a perfect life. Having grown up in chaos, the want for something like this is not uncommon. But in reality, it is unattainable to most people. Even the guidance given in this book isn't enough to make it feasible for most people. Whether due to money or due to a lack of spoons.

I just love this book. There's something immensely satisfying about an orderly, colourful fridge. Definitely inspired me to utilise my many glass jars to display fresh fruit and veg in appetising ready-to-snack-on ways.

I also valued the technical lesson on how a fridge basically works (useful if you want to prolong the shelf-life of your produce), as well as the lovely vegan recipes at the end. But most of all, of course, I loved the suggestions on how to make my fridge look like the beautiful photos.

Take your fridge organization to the next level.. Kristen Hong will teach you about how to make the most out of your food. Detailed explanations of how to best utilize each section of your fridge and freezer, meal prep guidance, best practices (storage, life span, prep tips) for a huge variety of foods and over 100 plant-based recipes.

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The book is about how to store food in the fridge, including exterior and interior fridge care and many recipes, it was pretty informative.

Things I picked up from the book:
- I liked the tip about extending a food's shelf life by putting them into smaller containers to limit the air inside the container
- I also love mason jars, beeswax wraps and silicone stretch lids
- I tried putting a paper napkin on top of produce for strawberry and raspberries, worked pretty well
- I liked all the chia pudding recipes
- also tried the peanut butter and jelly oatmeal fridge bites , came out delicious.

This book is organized and helpful! I loved all the images and I like how there are different approaches depending on your lifestyle and the type of fridge that you want. Great ideas in here!

Really nice book - the organization is almost in line with the home edit. There are some recipes as well but is mainly the organization and setup of the common types of fridges.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Great pictures that made me envy the neat and colourful fridges. It was well thought out that not only talks about organizing your fridge but as well about eating health. Great read.

This book wasn't for me I'm afraid. I just couldn't stop looking at the pictures of that fridge!! I just can't grasp how someone has the time, energy and amount of tupperware boxes with the correct lids to organise their fridge/life in that way. I'm sure other people may find this book very helpful but for me even with the help of this book it's a massive pipe dream.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an unbiased review

What a great book. I loved all the information and advice and my favourite photo was of the fridge/freezer all stocked neatly.

With information and advice on how to make the best use of these wonderful appliances you can't go wrong. Nothing has been left out, every food type has been covered and then there are recipes. I love recipes.

A very useful and handy guide which will be used over and over again.
