We were so excited for the release, that we ordered on its release date. We will just have to gift the extra book, to a deserving person. Thanks for my new favorite cookbook!

So Easy, So Good is more than just a cookbook, it’s a life manual disguised as delicious, clean recipes. Arash has created something that speaks to the mind, body, and soul with a rare kind of clarity and integrity. I’ve been one of this book’s biggest champions because it truly lives up to its name and offers so much more beneath the surface.At its core, this book reflects Arash’s commitment to the Kaizen way, continuous, incremental self-improvement. That principle isn’t just a passing idea in these pages; it’s the heartbeat of the entire book. With every recipe, every short insight, every nudge toward better habits, Arash reminds us that we don’t have to overhaul our lives overnight. We just have to keep moving forward, one nourishing choice at a time.Each dish is so easy to make, stripping away the intimidation factor often tied to healthy eating. But they’re also so good... good for your body, yes, but also good for your spirit. There’s a deep joy in preparing food from this book, because you can feel the love and intentionality behind it.What I appreciate most is how So Easy, So Good meets you exactly where you are. Arash doesn’t preach perfection; he encourages progress. His grounded, no-BS tone makes you feel like you’ve got a trusted friend in the kitchen, someone who’s been on the journey and genuinely wants you to thrive.This book isn’t about diet culture or temporary change. It’s about building a lifestyle rooted in real food, real self-respect, and sustainable practices. It’s for anyone who wants to feel amazing in their body while living with purpose and presence.If you’re looking for a way to reconnect with your health, fuel your growth, and embrace the Kaizen path, So Easy, So Good is your blueprint. I’m proud to stand behind it and even prouder to live by it.

The title of this book says it all... Literally these recipes are so delicious yet so easy to make! I have not tried a single dish that I do not like. Best part... they are high protein and low-carb. Win, win. The flavor of the dishes are superb, but the ingredients are so simple. Arash is a culinary mastermind that leaves your mouth happy after every bite! For guiltless at-home dinners and healthy dips, sauces and snacks look no further. Trust me, these are crazy good recipes!

The media could not be loaded. I have been eagerly awaiting his cookbook release! There are a surprising number of recipes and all have easy-to-follow directions. Well worth the price if you are on the fence about buying it. It is focused on “Mediterranean Diet” recipes, but easy to substitute/omit any spices or herbs you don’t like. You can see him on social media, and that is why I decided to buy his cookbook. He uses many herbs and spices for deepening flavors, and most ingredients are whole and healthy. While some of the ingredient lists look long, you’ll find that it is because of the different spices and herbs, and NOT because of expensive, rarely-used items. Pistachios, tamarind paste, sumac are the only “exotic” type ingredients that maybe you wouldn’t keep in your pantry, but easily remedied. He has allulose for a few recipes, but you can sub that for something else, if you care to. The ONLY negative I can say about this book is that he left out the nutritional analysis on every recipe. You will have to use an online calculator to determine the values of nutrients for each recipe. I wish he had done that for us, to save time, but it is what it is. This is still an awesome collection of delicious, healthy meals, and still worth the price. Check him out on Social first if you need reassurance about his recipes! Great stuff!

I got my book last night and cooked up a power chicken bowl . My family loved it . It was delicious and “ so easy , so good!”. I was expecting a decent cookbook but I got so much more . I got to be a part of Arash’s story . He shares beautiful family pictures , and his journey to where he is today is so inspirational . I’m also deeply thankful that although soups are not part of this cookbook , it is thanks to Arash’s super high protein soup recipes that he shares on line I am able to feed my mother with Alzheimer’s high quality and delicious foods. Thank you from the bottom of my heart .

This cookbook is fantastic! It has clear concise instructions, paired with beautiful photos of the completed recipes. This cookbook is something I will be using frequently. Congratulations to Arash Hashemi for putting together a great selection of high protein - low carb recipes.
