Popular husband-and-wife bloggers and podcasters (acouplecooks.com) offer 100 recipes with an emphasis on easy prep, whole foods, and healthy dishes and getting into the kitchen together. A love story at its finest, Alex and Sonja Overhiser first fell for each other and then the kitchen. In a matter of months, the writer-photographer duo went from eating fast and frozen food to regularly cooking vegetarian meals from scratch. In the process, they found they had more energy, slept better, and were happier. Together, the two unraveled a joy-filled, "pretty simple" approach to home cooking that they share on their nationally-renowned website and podcast, A Couple Cooks.The pair's debut cookbook, A Couple Cooks Pretty Simple Cooking, is a terrific combination of spirited writing, nourishing recipes with a Mediterranean flair, and vibrant photography. Recipes include 100 functional and creative recipes for every aspect of a home-cooked lifestyle, heavy on the vegetables and flavor, with an eye toward moving veggies to the center of the plate. All recipes are vegetarian, with plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. Intended for eaters of all kinds who want to eat more vegetables, Sonja and Alex dubbed the book a "vegetarian cookbook for non-vegetarians" and it stuck. At the book's heart are the couple's top ten lessons for a life-long approach to enjoying cooking and a healthy approach to food. Each lesson is meditative and inspired, featuring a corresponding custom watercolor drawing by author and blogger Ashley Rodriguez. It's a beautiful coffee table book that's food for thought, at the same time providing real food recipes for eating around the table.
