    Featuring recipes drawn from familiar classic dishes and new favorites, Laura Lea’s new book, Simply Laura Lea, offers delicious home-cooked food without sacrificing healthy eating.

    In Simply Laura Lea the author of The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook and creator of LLBalanced.com offers a collection of over 130 delicious, balanced, and healthy recipes based on the food she eats every day. Unlike diets that prescribe food restrictions that are neither attainable nor desirable on a long-terms basis, Laura Lea promotes an attainable approach to cooking and eating healthy for life. All of the recipes collected here follow the LL Balanced Approach to Food:

  • Focus on whole, fresh foods that make you feel great.
  • Ditch any preconceived idea of what you should eat, and list to your body; it is your best wellness guru.
  • Indulge in moderation, and occasionally, not in moderation!
  • Have fun and don’t take yourself, or your food, too seriously. Enjoy food in a relaxed atmosphere and in the company of dear ones.
  • Above all, practice self-love and patience in the kitchen. It will translate to the rest of your life.

    In Simply Laura Lea, you’ll find familiar dishes that can be cooked in 30 minutes or less. And with ingredient lists comprised of a limited number of easy-to-find items, recipes are approachable and easy-to-follow for new or seasoned home cooks. As Laura Lea likes to say: "No diet, no dogma, just great healthy food."

    • "A friendly and relaxed approach to healthy eating. [Laura Lea's] diverse and enticing recipes promise to make healthy eaters out of even the most reluctant." - Publishers Weekly on The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook
    "The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook isn't your average cookbook. Laura Lea hits the mark between home-cooked nostalgia and whole food goodness with recipes that'll keep your taste buds satisfied and your belly full from dawn til dusk." - Edible Nashville
    The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook "Features more than 120 healthy, easy-to-prepare recipes for everyday, at-home occasions. Prioritizing whole foods and a balanced menu over diet fads and trends―and including pantry shopping lists and serving portion recommendations―the recipes manage to be nutritious and healthy while simultaneously comforting and satisfying. The perfect stocking stuffer for those resolving to eat healthier in the new year." - NBC News, BETTER
    "I wanted to bring back a type of food that’s nutrient dense but doesn’t take away from what people really love,” [Laura Lea] says. “If anything, they can get the best of both worlds.” With her second cookbook, Simply Laura Lea, it’s clear that she’s done just that. - Southern Living
