Australia's most trusted home cook is celebrating a fresher approach to eating. These days we're bombarded with so many messages about what to eat more of and what to eat less of and what to give up altogether, it can all get a little confusing and, let's face it, overwhelming. When there are so many passing fads and extreme diets out there, it's a relief to turn to a voice of reason, Australia's bestselling and most trusted cook, Donna Hay, for a realistic, sustainable and more balanced approach to fresher, healthier eating. Donna says: 'If there's one thing I've learned about myself, it's that I'm happiest when life is balanced. It rings true in all areas- work and play, friends and family, and, for me especially, food. Diets have never been my thing, I don't like the idea of anyone being on one! But I do love the way food can make me feel, uplifting me with energy, nourishing me with cosy goodness, or treating me with a little sweetness. LIFE IN BALANCE is about embracing food and all its benefits. Each chapter, from breakfast to baking, has simple recipes enriched with nature's superfoods - think leafy greens, bright fresh berries, creamy nuts and nourishing grains. Plus, I've profiled all my power pantry staples for you, like chia seeds, coconut sugar and raw cacao. Let this book help you find your own perfect balance, while enjoying every bite.' In a gorgeous new user-friendly square paperback format, featuring tactile paper stock and stunning photography, Donna packs in a wealth of ideas and information that you can trust, and flavours and tastes that will inspire you. From new ideas for power dinners to tempting grills, from super-charged breakfasts to low-carb options, LIFE IN BALANCE is full of super-satisfying recipes - nourishing, virtuous and delicious. And because we all need the occasional treat, there's also a few yummy better-for-you sweets. The only kind of diet that works, after all, is the balanced diet - the one you can sustain long term. And when your life is in balance, you feel great and it shows - from the inside out. Review: So pleased with my purchase - This book is absolutely stunning as well as delicious recipes!! I bought mine thru a used book seller for a fair price and it appears to be in excellent condition!! I am so pleased with my purchase. Review: Most visually beautiful cookbook for healthy recipies - Not just foo-foo recipes, practical and gourmet embracing all food groups with lots of fresh produce and reasonable portions. The recipes are unique and not just a version of something I can find in any cookbook. The format is the most visually beautiful cookbook I have found including close ups of healthy produce that will inspire anyone to want to try the recipes. Where most cookbook formats share recipes you can find online or don't provide a color picture -this one is my go-to prize in my kitchen (see uploaded pictures).

I think this is a wonderful book to up your familiarity with what may seem like new and exotic ingredients, add to your vegetarian/vegan repertoire with plenty of flavor, and generally, make cooking a little more adventuresome, varied, and healthy. I made the crispy tofu recipe, and the harissa eggplant, and they were well received. You may want to stock up your larder with a few new items before you get cooking. I've discovered pomegranate molasses and harissa are fantastic to have around.

Great book for experienced cooks willing to track down word ingredients
Great cookbook with creative and interesting healthy (or at least healthier) nutritious recipes. I'd recommend this for seasoned cooks and anyone who loves amazing food photography (the pictures will inspire you to try the recipes). For those newer to the kitchen, the instructions and tips may be a bit sparse. Also, many recipes require oddball ingredients you can't pick up at a normal grocery store, and no substitutions are suggested--so if that's not your thing, consider yourself warned.

I have loved Donna Hay's magazines for years and kept them all because they were a luxury to find in a random bookstore in the US, so I knew I would cherish this beautiful Cookbook. I have made a handful of the recipes so far and they are all so soul satisfyingly delicious and I look forward to continuing my way through the book.

A lot of great photography. Interesting, but not tempting recipes. Nice book. I don't think I will keep it long term.

love this book
The book itself like a treasure for a photographer. I am eating with my eyes on every page. I haven't cooked a single recipe, I keep it as a coffee table book instead.

Tasty & healthy recipes.
All of the food I've cooked from this book has been tasty and healthy. A great way to help me get my figure back and keep all the nutritional content in my diet. I love the design & layout, although sometimes it's a bit hard to follow the recipes that are white text on black background.
