Yes, Gwyneth can come off as annoyingly perfect, and we are fairly certain that the minimalist lifestyle portrayed in her publications is not the daily norm. But here’s the thing about Goop and her cookbooks; her team has access to the best of the best. The nutritional advice is spot on (mainly from Drs. Alejandro Junger and Habib Sadeghi), and she is actually a true food lover and knows her way around a kitchen. It is co-written with Julia Thurshen who is a NYC based food writer and worked with Mario Batali and GP on Spain: A Culinary Road Trip and assisted with her book My Father’s Daughter. “It’s All Good” is clean eating at its finest. It has simple recipes, beautiful photographs and a terrific weekly menu section for whatever stage your journey happens to be in. The book features whole foods, natural sugars, healthy fats, no gluten, clean protein, and eschews dairy, alcohol and caffeine. So on those Monday mornings when you wake up feeling puffy and lethargic, you can start your week off with some green tea and Avocado Toast. Progress on to the Power Chopped Salad with Creamy Parsley Dressing and wrap the day up with grilled Salmon with Lee’s Siriacha and Lime. While we may never have her flawless complexion or super toned body…..we can certainly enjoy the quest!
