Sometimes the best way to re-invent the wheel in the kitchen is with some new, fresh inspiration. At Food Matters, we’ve always been dedicated to bringing you the best, healthy recipes (which you can discover, right here), but what about the recipes that inspire our imaginations?

We asked around the office for the best healthy cookbooks and why, so you can start to level up your healthy cooking game.

Simplicious Flow - Sarah Wilson

A Modern Way to Cook - Anna Jones

“This was the book that made me fall in love with cooking when I first shifted to a vegetarian diet. Everything is so delicious, so simple, and uses good quality ingredients. It also taught me kitchen staples, easy lunches on the go, and how to make incredible flavor combinations with simple herbs and spices.” Tess Patrick - Content & Communications Writer
