Book Review

“We fell for nutritionist Karlene Karst’s easygoing nature and pocketed her food tips at our In goop Health summit in Vancouver last fall. The Kitchen Is for Dancing is her first cookbook in a minute. The first few chapters cover her food philosophy and her personal health journey, then meal prepping and pantry help. Recipes are organized into breakfast, snacks, soup, veggies, weekday dinner, and sweets. But we truly applaud that there’s also a whole chapter for Sunday dinner—i.e., Braised Cauliflower and Kale, Roasted Vegetable Lasagna, and sauces to stock up on like Cashew Cream, Sunflower Seed Alfredo, and Pumpkin Marinara.”

“As someone who is learning to cook healthy meals, Karlene’s cookbook has been a great source of inspiration with amazing tasty easy recipes for all levels of experience. My favorites are the oven-roasted chicken and spiced carrot turmeric soup (me making homemade soup, I would never have believed it).”

"I am always on the hunt for a cookbook that provides healthy recipes that are both delicious and easy to make - The Kitchen is for Dancing is all of that and more. It is my go-to for quick and easy recipes on a weekday but also provides delicious recipes that I can show-off at a dinner party."

"The sign of a superb cookbook is one that remains open on your kitchen counter and This Kitchen Is For Dancing is just that! Karlene had a busy family who still values delicious meals together in mind when she created this book. I love that my kids can turn to any page and create the dish independently because the instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the dishes are filled with nutritious and healthy ingredients. Some pages, such as Healthy Spelt Banana Bread, Crispy Panko Hemp Halibut, Fish Tacos, and Apple-Pear Quinoa Crumble have become well-worn in my copy so you might consider purchasing a few copies!"
