Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Roasted kale with tomatoes and garlic

    • Astrid5555 on March 14, 2019

      This is a mother’s dream come true. My veggie-averse boys fought over the last few kale leaves, and asked that I please make this one again as soon as possible. Served as a quick side to salmon and rice, delicious!

  • Charred cabbage with spicy aïoli

    • stacymarkow on March 13, 2021

      Absolutely delicious, and a stunning preparation for such a humble vegetable. I can't get over how delicious this is. Definitely going into my regular rotation.

  • Sautéed chicken livers

    • celesteprevost on January 06, 2026

      Great recipe to include other giblets with the livers. Excellent with pasta.

  • Bulgur with delicata squash and green olives

    • acalexander on November 09, 2018

      Important to use good quality olive oil here. I added more zest and lemon juice. Nice side dish and easy to put together.

  • Simple couscous

    • GloriaG on June 08, 2026

      Simple recipe to make plain couscous. While this recipe was uninspired, I liked how the cookbook then gave 4 different options on how to use this basic couscous based on the season.

  • Couscous with beets, arugula, and Parmesan

    • GloriaG on June 08, 2026

      I had some roasted golden beets in my freezer leftover from another recipe that turned out to be perfect for this salad. It was light and tasty. I wouldn’t go through the time & effort to roast beets just for this salad but if I had extra again in the future, I would definitely make this again.

  • From a Chef's Kitchen

    Chef Kass tries to assuage the stress one feels about making the “right” choices. Instead, he shows you how to make “better” choices.

James Beard Award Winner - Health and Special Diet 2019

Sam Kass, former chef to the Obamas and White House food policy advisor, makes it easier to do a little better for your diet--and the environment--every day, through smart ways to think about shopping, setting up your kitchen so the healthy stuff comes to hand most naturally, and through 90 delicious, simple recipes.

This book lays out Kass's plan to eat a little better. Knowing that sustainability and healthfulness come most, well, sustainably when new habits and choices seem appealing rather than drastic and punitive, Kass shares his philosophy and methods to help make it easy to choose, cook, and eat delicious foods without depriving yourself of agency or pleasure. He knows that going organic, local, and so forth all the time is just not realistic for most people, and that's ok--it's all about choosing and doing a little better, and how those choices add up to big change. It's the philosophy he helped the Obamas instill in their home, both in Chicago and that big white one in Washington.
