Reviews
"My's recipes are mouthwatering, beautiful, and so nourishing for your body! She knows what it takes to make cooking easy and healthy for anyone with a busy schedule. So, no excuses!" -Cassey Ho, creator of POP Pilates
"This book makes it seem so simple-eating healthy for the entire family. After reading, anyone can make delicious and nutritious meals that their family will love!" -Kelly Plowe, MS, RD, CSSD, Livestrong.com dietitian and nutrition expert
"My Healthy Dish is my go-to resource for simple meals that my entire family loves. I love how flavorful and quick the recipes are. Not only are the ingredients easy to find at my local grocery store, but this book makes healthy eating a part of my everyday lifestyle." -Jadah Sellner, author and cofounder of Simple Green Smoothies
"My Healthy Dish brings cookable recipes for the busy but health-conscious mom. The ingredients are often what you already have in your pantry, the directions are simple, and the entire family enjoys it. Finally, an easy cookbook for an everyday working family." -Maria Kang, founder of No Excuse Mom and author of The No More Excuses Diet
"From an Instagram blog on healthy eating comes a very interesting collection of recipes intended for all kinds of audiences. Though Vietnam-born Nguyen has no nutritional credentials, she compensates by providing a shopping basket full of tips, notes, and easy-to-emulate dishes. What's more, she's refreshingly forthright about her lifestyle philosophy and her own encounters with food. Readers will be drawn into her life almost instantly as she begins the book with a preface chronicling a day in her life. The book's real guts are in the recipe pages. All are fairly quick to make in an oven, on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or via the refrigerator, and although there are no calorie counts, 'healthy' is the key word here, showcased in recipes for carrot leek soup, stuffed quinoa bell peppers, and turkey sloppy joes. Notes, such as 'don't store tomatoes in the refrigerator because they'll get mealy and mushy,' accompany almost every recipe. Nguyen is a great spokeswoman for everything in moderation." -Booklist
