A must-read guide for meal preppers and busy home cooks who want to make healthy, one-dish meals

Bowls For Dummies walks you through the steps you need to follow to create vibrant, delicious, and healthy one-bowl meals that are perfect for busy weeknights, filling out a meal prep schedule, or impressing your lunch and dinner guests. Wendy Jo Peterson, an expert culinary dietitian, draws on over 25 years’ experience in cooking, recipe writing, and speaking, offering detailed guides to building hearty grain bowls, protein-packed breakfasts, and even globally inspired dinners.

Bowls For Dummies includes recipes from all around the world. You’ll learn how to mix and match the ingredients in your kitchen to design interesting, tasty meals that satisfy the fussiest eaters in your home. You’ll also discover how to stock your fridge and pantry, so you always have access to what you need to prepare a wholesome bowl.

Inside the book:

  • Hands-on tips and tricks for busy cooks and home chefs who want to create memorable meals on a budget
  • A wide range of bowls suited for every meal of the day and for every palate
  • Easy strategies to reduce food waste (and your grocery bill) without depriving yourself and your family of fun, healthy meals
  • Recipes offer time-saving tips such as utilising an air fryer or instant pot

Perfect for beginner home cooks ready to make easy, nutritious, and customisable meals, Bowls For Dummies is also a can’t-miss book for busy professionals, students, and anyone else interested in cooking fast, one-dish bowls that don’t skimp on flavour or health.
