"Laura Lea painstakingly tests these recipes over and over, seeks feedback from lucky friends and family, and perfects them through trial and error. Even in the restaurant world, I don’t know many chefs who work as diligently and prolifically to develop reliable recipes quite like Laura Lea. I love making her recipes. In general, I never ever follow recipes but Laura Lea’s are different. I follow them because I’ve tasted the results and wouldn’t even know where to start to create the things that she does. She takes the time to to understand every little nuance of an ingredient, what is made up of, what it’s capabilities are, and how to make it sing.

Her food is designed to make you feel good. As we know, “healthy” food hasn’t historically been thought of as the most delicious. But the level of deliciousness she achieves with food that is good for both your body and soul takes tremendous drive and skill. I find myself craving her food. A lot. Laura Lea’s cooking is not simply for sustinence - it makes you feel something. It also directly reflects her sunny, nurturing, and enthusiastic personality. You can taste the love and passion she has for her craft. . In Simply Laura Lea, she shows us that we can take better care of ourselves while still enjoying the pleasure of something very delicious and satisfying. In our house, we refer her food as 'Laura Lea treats'"
