If you have been struggling with meal prepping, eating more plant-based/whole foods, or choosing to eat the food in your fridge rather than ordering out all the time, BUY THIS BOOK. For the last decade I have wasted so much food (produce, specifically) bc I didn't know how to properly store it to maximize its shelf life. So in the fridge it sat, in the bag/packaging it came in from the store, lonely until it died and I inevitably had to throw it out. I would eventually turn to Youtube to search "how to wash and store ______" FOR EVERY ITEM OF PRODUCE I bought to figure out what I was doing wrong and how to make it last longer, but doing this for every item every week was.... exhausting. I tire of having the same foods every day/week so I needed variance, but I eventually dreaded this process so much that I would still buy the groceries to feel like I was doing the "right" things but felt too overwhelmed to actually do anything with the food once I got home, thus, wasting more food just to repeat the cycle the following week in the name of "I'll do better next week!" Then this year, enter Fridge Love. When I say that this book changed my life, I really, really mean it. It takes ALL THE GUESS WORK, all the youtubing/googling out of the equation. No more searching online for the best ways to prepare food for max shelf life; now I get to just turn to the appropriate page in the glossary to tell me exactly when and how to wash the food in question, what type of container it needs to be in, exactly how long it will last, and page numbers of recipes in the book that use these items. Like what!? This is supremely helpful on its own and is worth more than the price of the book alone, but it also just helped me holistically understand how to best take care of my fridge in order to improve the shelf life, inclusive of what types of containers are best to use (and I'm talking specific recommendations, down to the sizes of jars/containers to use and where to buy them the cheapest), how often you should clean out your fridge, and how the humidity levels in your direct environment dictate a lot about how long your food may last! There is also a lot of great health information throughout the book where she explains why certain recipes/ingredients are healthier than store-bought alternatives and gives tangible, easy-to-understand language to explain how those differences affect our health. She is also very inclusive in her language, being sure to remind folks in recipes where it would be ok to use a store-bought, dairy, or otherwise animal product substitute for a plant-based option she provides in her recipes. Her inclusivity is also felt in her insistance that readers challenge themselves to begin this journey with exactly what they have access to now, rather than encouraging folks to go buy new glass containers for this all to work, AND emphasizes folks to start small. She advised to cnsistently prep breakfast for a few weeks before you build onto something else. Taking the time to write these recommendations of essentially starting this process thru baby steps is so crucial and I'm sure is a great help for more than just me bc that lets her meet us where we are!!! She does a great job making this lifestyle feel accessible to folks in varying positions in life and I was personally really grateful for these efforts. I'll conclude by saying the pictures I attached are my recent prioritizations from reading this book. I am personally working on maintaining (and eating!!!) a weekly in-fridge salad bar, and you'll see photos attached of that with some other prepped foods like overnight oats, cooked grains, fridge pickles, and steamed veggies. All recommendations/recipes from her book! I'm also an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and I've made this book a staple part of my coaching program for existing and new clients. I give it as a gift to hopefully give my clients a huge leg up in building these new routines for themselves, as this book is a great resource to literally always have nearby when just starting out with healthy meal prepping. I hope you buy this book and hope it changes your life and approach to food, too! Happy meal prepping!

This is a great book, love the beautiful pictures. After reading this book I feel motivated to move forward to make my fridge look like the ones in the book. The author also has a program online that is wonderful, with more beautiful pictures. It's called Hello Nutritarian. This author has so much helpful information. Great recipes.

I never knew how little I actually knew about how my fridge works, or how to make best use of every shelf and compartment. For years I complained about how quickly fresh produce and other products “went bad,” when actually I just needed to change the way I prepared my food and loaded my fridge in the first place. And to be able to do this, I needed to learn about how my particular fridge works so that I could help it do it’s job in the best way it was built for. While the sections on the history of food storage and refrigeration, how refrigeration actually works, and how to determine best use practices for your particular fridge may seem “boring “ or “ridiculous in a cookbook,” you need to understand that this book is not really a cookbook as we’re used to seeing. This is the book you would refer to when you’re trying to figure out how and where you should store your squashes, greens, onions, etc., in the best way possible, for as long as possible, so you can minimize — and hopefully end — food waste. Plus, you do get some really yummy recipes that store very well and help you enjoy all that well-stored food! I discovered this author on Instagram, and ended up preordering her book. Since receiving it, I’ve been working my way through reading EVERY section, and making a lot of changes in my shopping, food preparation, food storage, and eating habits. I have not had to buy any special containers or products in order to make these changes. I’m simply making better use of items I already had, and I’m not working any harder to make things last longer. As I said, the book does have a recipe section. These are recipes and ideas that help with preparing some ready-to-grab meals, make-your-own condiments, and generally encourage you to squeeze more plant-based meals into your daily menus. Every recipe I’ve tried so far has been great, and there are lots more recipes and ideas on her blog. I’m so happy to have this book. It’s the one I didn’t know I needed until I got it. It’s a game changer!

I've followed the Nutrarian eating plan but struggled with the prep work & storage issues. Well, this book took care of all that instantly. The author gives you a lot of info on how different fridge designs keep the cold circulating & once read, you'll understand why some things haven't lasted as long as you expected. Shelf level & placement of items on the shelf are important. I didn't realize how much I've been doing wrong. Although the engineering design data is good, when she approaches individual fresh foods & how/why to store them as she suggests, a whole new world opens up. Example...say you make a quart of pasta sauce & put it in a glass jar. You use half for a meal but put other half back in the fridge in the same size jar....NO...she explains why it's better to take that last half & put it in a much smaller container with less space. The less air in the jar, the longer shelf life you get.....downsize into smaller containers. I had no idea that would extend the life of items but it does. Her explanation of why different foods mature or store the way they do is something to take time to learn. It represents a lot of money saved. Where to store particular foods is also covered. She gives you some options for storage containers as well & why one is better than the other. She's prepped & stored foods for her eating style for so long that she really knows what she's talking about & this book is a vital resource for anyone who focuses on fresh foods. From the physical issues that go on inside a fridge, she moves right into recipes. Some are staples you might want to always keep on hand & others are meals or meal ingredients. Since we all have a unique approach to how much time we're willing to prepare any meal, she's given set up examples for those who don't want to bother cooking, those who want just a little cooking & those who are willing to spend more time......something for everyone. I was sceptic at first to even consider a book about refrigerators but I'm very glad I decided to give it a try because it's just jammed with good suggestions & explanations about how to get the most out of you food by storing fresh items the way that will preserve them the best and the longest. I use her recipes anyway because I follow the Nutrarian eating plan that she does & I also follow her website blog. This book turned out to be money very well spent. I decided to splurge & get some new storage items but I will still always wash out & reuse that Ragu sauce jar, etc. as well. A big YEA from me on this book. Perfect kitchen reference.

Just want to start this review with WOW, what a book! Not only does it have beautiful photos but the wealth of knowledge Kristen has given us readers is truly amazing. You can tell she put her heart and soul into the research for this book. It's not just a cookbook, it's a way to organize yourself for success in being a healthier and happy you... Fridge Love = Self Love... at least that is what I am taking from it. I am not a nutritarian nor a vegan "yet", however I bought this book because I have followed Kristen's journey on Instagram with her brand Hello Nutritarian for quite some time. Kristen's journey and her book has definitely inspired me to start making some changes in the way I eat and prepare myself for meal prepping for the week. I am the cook in my house and what goes in their mouths is my doing, so things are about to change for the better! I will start incorporating Kristen's recipe's into our weekly meals. We all need this right now. I am a very organized type A person with everything else but the fridge and my "drawers" have always been messy. I just remodeled my kitchen and both all new appliances and have been really good as of late keeping the fridge very organized. I can't wait to see how colorful my fridge is going to become now with all the chopped veggies and fruits. Can't wait!! XO

Kristen is 100% right when she equates taking care of your fridge and food prepping to an act of self love. Not only does the book have a lovely collection of vegan plant-centric recipes, it also has a thorough produce storage guide to help you make the most of your fruits and vegetables. It's amazing how a few simple tips and tricks from this book helped my household waste significantly less food. I love that she addresses how to work with all different sizes and layouts of fridges to meet your fridge prep goals. While her Instagram-worthy fridge pictures are gorgeous to look at, she approaches fridge storage in a way that is functional and economical first, then teaches you the recipes to get those colorful looking salad jars. She has a whole section glorifying the modern marvel that is your refrigerator and goes into the nitty-gritty of how a fridge actually functions, leaving you with a comprehensive understanding of air circulation and how to zone your fridge for storing different foods. I haven't made my way through every recipe quite yet, but a few of my favorites are: Nacho Cheese Sauce (vegan) - Page 188 Carrot Cake Fridge Bites - Page 223 Cozy Corn Chowder - Page 233 Spinach and Artichoke Dip - Page 242 Easy Potato Dal Curry - Page 262 Crunchy Thai Noodle Salad Jars - Page 300 This beautiful book has earned a permanent spot on my cookbook shelf. No matter your dietary preferences or lifestyle, this book is worth a purchase from the reference materials alone even if you don't touch one of the 100 colorful and simple recipes, but you totally will because they are all amazing! :)

Kristen Hong is kind, inclusive, and supportive in the quest to have a clean, well-stocked, easy to use refrigerator. Whether your fridge is a 50 year old gasper (like mine) or the newest multi-tjousand dollar technological miracle, this book can be a tremendous help. The absolutely gorgeous photos of organized refrigerators are worth buying the by themselves, but there's so much more. I already knew about the different lids for mason jars and using mason jars - after all, I've been canning and maintaining a pantry for 60 years and have a respectable collection of such jars and a variety of lids, not just the black and white ones. But those and the other containers she mentions might be new to other readers. No, there's more - pages of how to buy, prep, and store all kinds of produce from apples to winter squashes. That's a treasure of a resource right there. And the information on the parts of a refrigerator and how to maintain, troubleshoot, and best use it are well worth the price of the book. Then, the information on how to deep clean a fridge, and how to maintain the fridge's cleanliness after that - I wish MY mom had taught me that! I am THIS many centuries old to learn how to properly clean my fridge, and not one second older. This is information I can (and did!) put to use immediately. There were places in my fridge I thought were clean that really weren't. My 50 year old fridge is now sparkling and probably will last for my great grandchildren to enjoy. (Or not, maybe they want one of those new behemoths with remote control and WiFi that orders its own contents from Whole Foods.) And there's more - but you will have to buy this marvel of a book to enjoy just how amazing and useful it is. This is the best "setting up your first home" gift ever, even if all that is kept in the fridge is leftover pizza and beer. Truly, every person who owns a refrigerator needs to read this book. You can get it from the library - I did, at first, and then bought it, and am now buying copies for each of my children and friends. You might end up buying it, too. I am eagerly awaiting Ms. Hong's book on dry pantry organization and storage and care.
