“Lisa has revolutionized meal prep to be approachable, fresh, and easy, and her cookbook has everything you need to make healthy eating a breeze.”—Emily Mariko, TikTok creator
Before Lisa Bryan began meal prepping several years ago as a way to save time and money, she quickly became tired of eating boring leftovers and wasting food. At the same time, she also wanted to “downshift” the too-fast pace of her life. So she flipped the script on meal prep by focusing on individual ingredients.
By prepping a handful of healthy ingredients at the start of the week, she learned that she could enjoy a variety of meals and snacks without getting bored. And she found she could control what she ate with more clarity: It became easy to eat more vegetables and simple proteins, eliminate processed foods and gluten (to manage her celiac disease), and reduce refined sugar. Her debut cookbook is packed with 100+ simple and ingenious big-batch recipes that can either be frozen or repurposed into totally different, delicious meals.
A dinner of Coconut Chickpea Curry with rice can be enjoyed the next day as a tostada at lunch, and a side of peas and crispy prosciutto becomes breakfast when you add a jammy egg on top. The recipes are all free of refined sugar, many are naturally anti-inflammatory, and dairy is minimal and optional. Lisa’s approachable method for eating well and preparing meals with ease will inspire home cooks to downshift their lives, too, by making healthy meals without a fuss.

Bryan, author of the popular Downshiftology blog and YouTube channel, brings her innovative approach to meal prep to a wider audience in her new gluten-free cookbook. Perfect for both experienced meal preppers and those who are new to meal planning, the book is divided into three sections: highlighting individual meal prep ingredients, quick-assembly meals, and more complex recipes. Readers will find much inspiration in the 100-plus whole foods-forward, gluten-free recipes, which include everything from breakfast to dessert, not just the usual meal-prep lunch and dinner staples. Bryan also provides a detailed guide to the ways that recipes from all three sections of the book can be mixed and matched, either in individual meals or over the course of a full day or week. A detailed introduction and extensive sidebars on choosing ingredients, food storage, and reheating for future use are also helpful for readers of all experience levels. VERDICT Recommended for all public libraries--Whitney Kramer
