Genius Kitchen: Over 100 Easy, Healthy Recipes to Energize Your Mind and Strengthen Your Body (Genius Living, 3)

Max Lugavere delivers again! He is one of the only voices in the nutrition space that I continue to trust. One of Max’s goals with this new book was to provide readers with healthy and delicious recipes that can be enjoyed in the company of their friends and loved ones; I can honestly say that this has proven to be very true for me as I have brought these recipes to life. Genius Kitchen builds on Max’s previous two books, Genius Foods and The Genius Life, and it is so much for than a just a cookbook. It is organized into two parts: Part 1 - What to stock your kitchen with; How to build healthy eating habits. Part 2 - Over 100 recipes, with beautiful photographs to go along with them. The recipes for a “Genius Life” includes meals to help break your morning fast, small bites, main dishes, sauces, and wraps up with desserts. Some of my favorites include: Spicy Sesame Broccoli Slaw, the Insanely Crispy Gluten-Free Buffalo Chicken Wings, and the Almond Olive Oil Cake. Each recipe includes a brief excerpt of how the dish has impacted Max’s life in some way, shape or form, and step-by-step recipe/directions. They are easy to follow for anyone, regardless of experience in the kitchen. Not only is Max a good writer & extremely knowledgeable when it comes to science-backed food information, he is a great human-being. Genius Kitchen is a resource that I will keep coming back to over and over again. For anyone looking for a new cookbook to add to their collection in 2022, I would strongly encourage you to make it this one!

Max Lugavere has written an incredibly helpful guide for people looking to improve their health through nutrition. His recipes are easy to follow, thorough and result in delicious entrees, appetizers, soups, and desserts! The photographs are tantalizing - so beautiful! My family loved the recipes from this book. Our favorites so far include miso mustard broccoli, crispy broccoli hot wings, spicy sesame broccoli slaw and spiced chickpea and broccoli stew with turmeric and mint. If you are serious about creating unique and tasty meals for yourself and your family, this is definitely the book for you! Plus, Max shares wonderful insight about how to improve your health and create genius habits in Chapter 2. Amazing book!! Buy it!!

I enjoyed this book/cookbook. Now, it's time to start cooking up these great recipes. The author did a great job of explaining the positives to eating healthier, without too much science behind it. I know some might not like that, but for most of us, small improvements and better techniques would be just great. I would suggest this book to anyone wanting to eat better and cleaner.

Genius Kitchen takes the best of Max’s knowledge and puts it into actionable steps with the abundance of simple, but delicious nutrient dense recipes. If you’ve read Genius Foods and Genius Life, you’ll love Genius Kitchen. If not, this is a great place to get acquainted with Max’s work! What I love most about the content of this book is that Max provides the “why” behind each intentionally chosen ingredient and the way each recipe is constructed. It’s the perfect combination of nutrition science and fun, approachable recipes with a touch of Max’s personal connections to the material. I’ve especially enjoyed the roasted broccoli with shallot and bonito, bangin’ chicken liver, and blueberry lemon tart, and can’t wait to cook my way through the rest of the recipes. Will absolutely be recommending this book to my nutrition clients and purchasing as gifts for friends and family!

I've had this book for several years. It has a lot of great recipes and helpful information. It is a go to in our kitchen.

As a big fan of Max Lugavere and his books Genius Foods and The Genius Life, I was not disappointed by his cookbook Genius Kitchen. Even if you have not read his books you will enjoy eating your way through Genius Kitchen. The recipes are healthy, but also packed with flavor. They are approachable and easy to execute and I've added many of them to my weeknight meal planning. The best was when I shared some of the bites with my gluten and dairy loving friends and they devoured them. When you buy the book you must try the Bake Almond "Breaded" Artichoke Hearts! You won't miss the bread or the dairy! I love Max's story and food/life philosophy which he shares in the first part of the cookbook. The pictures are beautiful and the amount of recipes are abundant! I plan to "gift" this book to all of my foodie friends.

I’ve been following Max for a while now and am so stoked to get my hands on this cook book . It tells you what to shop for and why and is written so simplistically . The recipes have few ingredients and are easy to put together . Absolutely delicious stiff and indeed so so good for you !!

Love this book. Very upto date and fresh

For a “not new book” it is in fabulous condition. It contains very healthy recipes, no UPFs here. If you are looking at this - I know you’ll understand. Some recipes do contain “sweeteners” which I avoid as they interfere with the gut microbiome- I leave those out or add natural sweeteners like dates, honey or maple syrup Overall, I’m very pleased so far, made broccoli with mustard and miso yesterday and today doing a spinach and artichoke dip, no diary.

What a beautiful addition to any kitchen. This book provides very nicely placed knowledge to understand every ingredient in the kitchen and gives you an insight on how these ingredients combined can result into a beautiful and tasty meal that will .ake you feel good. I'll be cooking guided by this book from now on as much as possible!

I’ve been following Max Lugavere for a few years now and I can assure you that he never does things in half-measures. He pours his heart and soul in everything he does and this brainchild is no different. Jam-packed with information, gorgeous photographs and appetizing recipes, Max feeds your brain in the first half and fills your belly with the second. Mostly gluten-free recipes with minimal usage of dairies to sate your hunger. This is ideal for any health-conscious omnivorous or vegan/plant-based eater like me who is not afraid to step out of their comfort zone. I highly recommend!
