Praise for Pretty Simple Cooking

“Pretty Simple Cooking says that cooking should be about love for food, the process of cooking it, and the people around you. This book is for anyone who feels intimidated to step into the kitchen, because Sonja and Alex have such encouraging lessons about life, love, and food. It’s also for food lovers of any level looking for creative recipes to up their veggie game.”
Jeanine Donofrioloveandlemons.com, author of The Love and Lemons Cookbook
“This is absolutely one of the most incredible cookbooks I've had the honor to cook from EVER. In part because their recipes resonate with me personally: family-friendly, easy, accessible, packed with flavor and often comfort-food inspired. But I am also completely blown away by how well-written the book is and how detailed the recipes are. Sonja & Alex have a way of conveying the importance of eating real, wholesome food that isn't preachy or dogmatic. Instead, their approach is warm, inviting, relatable and incredibly thoughtful.”
Laura Lea GoldbergLaura Lea Balanced
“Alex and Sonja Overhiser nailed the modern conundrum about cooking real, nurturing food: you have to fall in love. Their Ten Lessons, sprinkled between accessible, mouth-watering recipes, are the perfect guide to inspiring just that—a deep love of home cooking.”
Sarah Copelandedibleliving.com, author of Feast
“To be clear, this is not a cookbook, it is a love story. Sonja and Alex have poured their hearts into crafting a simply beautiful and accessible menu of opportunities for us all to learn to love what we feed ourselves and our families. Their passion for simple and wholesome sings out from every page, with sparing, clear recipes and dazzling photos. I love this book and you will too!”

Corky, Dana, Tracy, and Lori Pollanauthors of The Pollan Family Table
“The book is beautiful and the recipes are drool-worthy, but it’s the whispered mindset I love most: that dinnertime needn’t be a race to the finish line. In cooking and in life, sometimes you gotta stop and smell the rosemary.”
Erin LoechnerDesign for Mankind
“What I can’t convey to you here is the warmth that radiates from each of the 10 lessons—they are lighthouses for those lost and lonely souls who have struggled to find ease and meaning in the kitchen. From the start, Pretty Simple Cooking feels like a hand to hold in the midst of cooking chaos, and the broader chaos of life. The book’s lessons, its clarity, and the feeling of empowerment that rises from each page is remarkable.”
