NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The recipe queen, social media star, and beloved blogger behind the popular recipe website AmbitiousKitchen presents over 125 nutrient-dense, flavor-packed recipes for every meal of the day. “Monique effortlessly combines creativity with approachability, ensuring each dish is a success. This book is an instant classic for me!”—Alex Snodgrass, New York Times bestselling author and creator of The Defined Dish Millions of readers know Monique Volz’s website, Ambitious Kitchen, as a go-to resource for inventive, flavorful recipes that are full of nutrition, comfort, and personality. Now, in her debut cookbook, Monique wants others to find their own Ambitious Kitchen and discover their own version of health, bold flavors, and above all, the unique happiness that food can bring to your life. Whether you’re looking for a show-stopping dish to bring to a gathering, a new home- cooked tradition, or a nourishing meal everyone will love, The Ambitious Kitchen Cookbook has the answers. Monique joyfully showcases a balanced approach to health, with comforting, vibrant dishes that are amped up with extra vegetables, protein, and fiber. Wake up and sip on a Glowing Skin Vitamin A Smoothie or bake The Best Cinnamon Rolls You’ll Ever Eat for someone you love. Enjoy nutritious lunches such as Buffalo Chicken Chop Chop Salad or Roasty Toasty Tomato Soup with Herbed Grilled Cheese Naan. Family dinner might look like It’s a Sheet Pan Honey Mustard Chicken, Sweet Potato & Bacon Situation or Pepperoni Pizza Baked Orzo with Basil and Quick Hot Honey on a busy night, or Everyone’s Favorite Baked Chicken Tacos or Marry Me Ropa Vieja for a crowd. And let’s not forget show-stopping desserts like Tahini Pumpkin Cake with Brown Butter Cream Cheese Frosting and outrageously good Double Strawberry Oatmeal Cream Pies (Little Debras). Most recipes include “Make It Your Way” and “Make It Nutrient Dense” tips to customize food to your tastes. And as an added bonus, most can be made gluten-free, dairy-free, or vegan, allowing readers to tailor recipes to their own version of health. As you turn the pages, you’ll find yourself a guest at Monique’s table, enjoying playful, comforting recipes that will impress everyone (including yourself!). Read more

    • Healthy Cooking Made Easy
I don’t read food blogs and I had no idea who Monique Volz was until someone recommended her blog to me. Here’s my unbiased review: As far as the recipes go, there’s a good variety. They’re well balanced in macros, with fiber and vegetables. They’re not your typical “healthy” recipes that require weird ingredients you can’t find at a normal grocery store. The front cover says “Absolutely Never Boring”. I agree. I can’t wait to make everything in this book. I like how the ingredients are broken down by component, making it easy for me to prep as much as possible at night and cook the next day. There’s also instructions for how to adjust for dietary restrictions, make more nutritious, store, and make ahead. So far I’ve made the breakfast burritos and pumpkin chipotle enchiladas, both fantastic. My toddler even ate the enchiladas! I will say, I think you need to boil the potatoes for the breakfast burritos before pan frying, mine took forever to cook in the pan. I may have done something wrong though. This cookbook has everything you’d want if you’re looking for healthy, easy meals that everyone in your family will eat. Thank you Monique for all of your work putting it together! ... show more

    • She is beauty, she is grace. And the recipes are DELICIOUS!

First off, I love the way this cookbook is set up! It is so organized and has super fun titles for all the sections and the recipes. There is a section at the beginning with details on substitutions, one on how to store everything in the freezer, and some basic tips and tricks to keep in mind. A section I love is "the flavor bible" which concisely includes many flavorful dressings and sauces. So far, I have made "everyone's favorite baked chicken tacos (packed with veggies)" and "superfood broccoli salad with grains, nuts & seeds," both of which totally exceeded my expectations and were so delightful! There is such a huge variety of recipe types in here that feel like everyone could find something to love. The flavor combinations are so creative and unique! Lastly, the cookbook is just stunning to look at. The images are mouthwatering - I can't wait to try many more recipes! ... show more

    • If you could only buy one cookbook, this one is it.
I've been a long-time reader and supporter of Ambitious Kitchen (I've been cooking from her blog and Instagram at least since 2017) and I have to be honest, this cookbook will be my new go-to for my weeknight cooking, meal prep, AND standout dishes for hosting dinner parties with my husband. The cookbook is PACKED with INCREDIBLE, easy, flavorful and nourishing meals including so many smoothie and sauce ideas that I am shook to the core at how amazing they sound and look! I just made the Tahini Gochujang sauce and it's going to be on monthly rotation for sure. From everything from breakfast to dinner with snacks and desserts in between, this cookbook is truly the only cookbook any one needs. I love how she writes out the dietary preferences for each meal, substitutions, and so much more. There was so much love, thought, and care that went into this book - it's evident by the writing, the recipes, and the tips shared throughout. It's going to be my holiday gift to friends and family for sure! ... show more

    • Love! Love! Love!
I've been an Ambitious Kitchen devotee for years so when she announced that her cookbook was done I immediately pre ordered the hard cover. Monique's recipes are wonderfully flavorful,creative & totally original.My husband and I rarely eat out so I'm always on the lookout for new recipes. Our diet is mostly vegan but chicken's not off the list cause sometimes you just need that blast of pure protein, ya know? And the baking recipes?? Holy cannoli! They're delicious and, bonus! most are actually healthy! This book is beautifully written, not over illustrated and easy to follow.The ingredients aren't crazy and the prep isn't an hours long process.Both of my adult kids love to cook (like their mom) so I bought them both a copy! Buy this cookbook, you won't be disappointed! ... show more

I have been following Monique for several years. I love her recipe format and how she guides you to make it your own. All of her recipes have been tried and true for me and my family loves them. This book is the same format with great recipes, beautiful photography and a joy to read!! Easy to follow, very customizable and delicious healthy recipes!!! Her stories are an added bonus! Fun to read and I love getting to know the person I have been cooking with for so many years! I love how she explained the ambitious aspect of her vision. I will gift each of my children this book because I think it’s a great teaching book on how to cook and make it your own!! When you make it your own you put love and creativity into it and you will cook more because you will enjoy cooking! Well done Monique and looking forward to the next one!! ... show more
