CLEAN ENOUGH is a beautiful book with gorgeous photos that redefines clean eating, with 100 recipes for vegetarian whole foods that nourish body and mind. Encourages readers to relinquish hard-to-follow trends and return to the basics with simple whole flavorful ingredients — and even dessert! Right now I’m heading to the kitchen to try the Green Pow Wow Smoothie, then I’m fixing Luxury Granola to snack on later, plus Charred Broccoli with Poached and Crispy Miso Sweet Potatoes for lunch. Delish! 5/5
Thanks to the The Experiment and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are fully mine.

Let’s go back to what I love doing best: dissecting cookbooks. I chose this particular one because I found both the title and the cover photo appealing, and because ‘katzie’ in German is a pet name for a cat (sympathy points!). The beautiful photography continues inside the book and really gets you revved up for cooking… unless you’re a beginner. One recurring problem with cookbooks authored by professional chefs is that they love to be very specific with ingredients and, unlike most normal people, think nothing of a twenty-five-ingredient spice list. Ok, I slightly exaggerated that number, but you get my drift.
But let us start at the beginning: Ms. Guy-Hamilton’s introduction to “Clean Enough”, alongside her story, pretty much makes it clear that this book is yours to customize, which is a very important point to bear in mind later. I like her holistic approach to food and life, and her relaxed attitude about occasional indulgences. After all, eating clean enough should be good enough, and sweets can play a stress-free part in one’s diet, as well. Please note that when I say ‘diet,’ I use the word in its original meaning of ‘way of eating,’ not in the sense of ‘trying your darndest to make your body comply to shed those x number of pounds you keep trying to lose whenever you come back from vacation.’
The reader receives an invitation to examine his or her own lifestyle to maximize wellness with some helpful pointers, then it’s on to the recipe section…
…and we’ve circled back to the beginning where now some people will start crying at terms like “oat flaker,” “Sicilian pistachios,” “pine pollen,” and “raw licorice powder” (I did at that last one, primarily because I find licorice disgusting and would never want to ruin a perfectly good breakfast with it). Ignore all those terms and skip straight to the various recipe notes that tell you that you can SUBSTITUTE whatever you have on hand or simply leave things out that you don’t have/don’t want to use. Phew. Ok, deep breath and on with it…
I’m not sure if anyone really needs a recipe for hot lemon water, which contains, gasp!, hot water and lemon. Or instructions to cook a runny, five-minute egg (cook egg for five minutes, plus some extraneous stuff that’s not really necessary). But if you’ve never made eggs before and feel a bit lost, there is a section on preparing eggs in a variety of ways that will assist you in becoming more kitchen confident. You may have guessed from my lingering on this particular part of the book that this is a vegetarian cookbook. Ms. Guy-Hamilton enjoys eggs and cheeses, and that is one reason why I personally would not get a copy but still recommend it to anyone wishing to go meat-free more often or looking for new spins on cooking for their veggie lifestyle.
I notice that, as most other hip chefs these days, Ms. Guy-Hamilton is a huge proponent of Himalayan Pink salt, to which I will repeat my remark from an earlier review: salt mining is not environmentally friendly, nor is salt a sustainable resource, and nobody should go digging around in a sensitive areas like the Himalayas just so people can use pink salt that nobody will be able to see in the finished dish later, anyway. As a second concern, unless you eat a lot of seafood or sea vegetables, reliance on “raw” salts will leave you with low levels of iodine. This is why regular table salt has iodine added to it, and as much as it is en vogue to poo-poo anything labeled ‘processed’, you need iodine in your diet. Eat it, hipster!
Please note that it is absolutely essential to read every recipe through before you spontaneously discover that it will take fourteen days to prepare certain parts in advance and that your pantry is lacking a key ingredient, because I make fun of people like you who leave angry ranting reviews like that. I repeat, some recipes do require you to make parts of it in advance, then assemble the whole later, like the Israeli breakfast.
In short, if you can get over your fear of long lists and feel comfortable enough to make substitutions to accommodate your cooking style, this is a lovely book to add to your shelf.

At this time of year with good eating intentions still at the forefront of New Year’s resolutions, new recipe books on healthful eating are always welcome. Katzie Guy-Hamilton’s Clean Enough tries to find a niche by encouraging her readers to try new foods and adopt a healthier lifestyle while leaving room for dessert.
Honestly, none of the recipes in the “Clean” section of the book jumped out at me and begged to be eaten despite the fact that they are all vegetarian, although there is a gigante bean recipe that I might try. Many of the recipes are ones you will find in other cookbooks and sometimes better done. Take the guac recipe, for example. Why anyone would want a guacamole with red pepper flakes instead of fresh chilies and no fresh tomato is beyond me, both bring their own nutritional value to the table–or the dip–and add layered, healthy flavor.
As usual, there is a drink section with smoothies, and you may already know my opinion on those. The drink section does include a couple of nut milk recipes. And there’s a recipe for lemon and hot water…those are the ingredients…that you put in a mug…and wait until it’s cool enough to drink.
Where Clean Enough really shines, however, is in the last section with the dessert. Guy-Hamilton was a pastry chef, and many of these desserts are mouth-watering. The roasted coconut cookies are tantalizing as well as several of the cakes, coconut, and pies, caramelized apple, for instance.
The one thing that immediately jumped out at me while I read through the recipes in Clean Enough is that many of the recommended ingredients are not within everyone’s budget. Also, a section on where to acquire some of the rarer ingredients (pine pollen?) would have been welcome.
Get this one for the desserts.

I appreciated how she included explanations of the health benefits of many of the ingredients. And her dessert section has some gems!
That said, the first recipe is hot water and lemon.
Yep.
I nearly quit right then and there. It was about thirty pages in before the recipes were worth reading and not simply avocado toast butter. And it is mostly vegetarian and the occasional vegan recipe throughout. If you follow the instructions precisely, it is not going to be cheap. I treated it more as a guide to inspire healthy eating without following each recipe exactly.
The desserts though...
Pan Di Spagno
Doll's Coconut Cream Pie
Wimbledon Pie
Worth picking up just to make these.
Also:
Classic Shortbread
Loaded Fruit Muffins
Praline Paste
Lemon Curd
Original Treacle Sauce
Earl Grey Raisins
Erma's Strawberry Preserves

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from The Experiment for my unbiased opinion of the book. I loved the book dedication it made my heart smile. The book is well thought out and laid out. I appreciated the glossary of terms in the front instead of the back and the notes after each recipe for tips, tricks, workarounds. I tried charred pumpkin seed broccolini, midnight carrots, velvet beet, fig newtons, and soft chocolate tart all memorable! I can't wait to try all the rest of the recipes. This a great reference book to start the process of clean eating and getting away from all that processed junk that will clog your body and brain!

I was impressed with the clarity of the recipes & the orderly layout of the book, including the description/explanation of different kitchen implements and standard pantry items. Lots of nice photos.
There were quite a few more recipes for desserts and sweet treats than I expected. Thoroughly enjoyed the Pan Di Spagna and the banana whiskey torte. I thought the book was a little lacking on main dishes though.
Some of the recipes were "too fussy" for my partner and I - who both have 2 jobs and not a lot of time for cooking. But as a special occasion cook book this is a solid one.

A cookbook to inspire me to some undefined "crunchy yoga" state, where happiness (bliss!) and a state of Zen can be obtained through lemon water and very expensive ingredients. The idea is nice but the anecdotes are abstract and the ingredient list is quite pricy. The book feels exclusionary to all but the ones who can afford such expensive, specific, organic, free-range ingredients. Still, I will try a couple on a rainy day if I feel so inclined.

Most of the recipes look very interesting & tasty, although some, especially the desserts, seem to be rather labor intensive and, by my standards, not beginner friendly. Aside from the recipes themselves and the nice photos, the narrative tone of this book is what knocks it down to 3 stars for me. Something about it just seems quite self-absorbed & off-putting. But if that doesn't bother you, & you're up for some different sorts of recipes, I would recommend this book.
January 12, 2019
Very highbrow. I found ONE recipe that I would try—and that was a salad. Most of the desserts call for brown sugar, whole milk, butter, and/or heavy cream, which go again my definition of clean eating. Disappointing.
August 9, 2019
Maybe if I had unlimited time to cook, and lots of money for fancy/weird ingredients and kitchen tools, I might enjoy this book more. Maybe.
January 13, 2020
Good, easy to make recipes using (mostly) ingredients you already have. The philosophy behind this book are more of what we need in society, balance.

I've been a follower of the clean-eating movement for years, but sometimes, it's difficult to find or make a meal consisting of only whole foods. Katzie breaks it down and makes clean-eating simple again. She shares practice, real-life recipes (even desserts) that are easy to make and look delicious. This book is sectioned up in a way that makes it easy to navigate and she includes a glossary of her favorite clean ingredients that I found helpful. The photographs are simple and pleasing to the eye and complete this lovely cookbook. *Advance copy provided by the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

It's a bad sign for me when the first recipe in a book is for hot lemon water. This is not something that needs a full page recipe in a cookbook. I am not that poor of a cook that I need lemon water explained to me. The trend of really simple recipes continued for most of the book. I just wasn't impressed by anything in here. Everything felt like sides and nothing felt like an actual meal. There was nothing bad and what was included sounded generally good, it just felt like the section with substance fell out.

Thank you for the free review copy, Experiment and Net Galley. Though the the recipes in this book are "clean," they're recipes anyone would enjoy. The message in the introduction encourages those following a clean eating diet to do their best and not take a perfectionist approach to their diets. I appreciate the wide variety of recipes and the recipes with options to customize the meals to one's own preferences.

Get back to basics, and save room for dessert! Fun, luscious book of recipes with clear directions and nice photographs.

Katzie Guy-Hamilton is both a pasty chef and a health coach and her approach to eating is to eat clean...most of the time. And to recognize that there are times when you want a treat and that is ok. She provides recipes for both clean, healthy, wholesome plant-based meals and tasty treats that still honor your body's need for nutrition.
I love Katzie Guy-Hamilton's approach because I think it's realistic. I think eating whole food, plant based meals is important to get the vitamins, minerals and protein our bodies need. But I think we all crave sweets once in a while and having some good recipes for fairly healthy sweets is imperative when those cravings hit.
My daughters and I tried the Cinnamon Carrot Lemonade and found it to be super delicious and refreshing! I was also really excited to have an actual recipe for Gold Milk because I love ordering it in cafès but I had no idea how to make it. Also, I am excited for a chai latte that uses rooibos instead of black tea since I don't do much caffeine!
The granola recipe looks amazing--the ingredients are on my grocery list! And I am buying apple cider for the overnight oats! I have made overnight oats many times with almond milk, but never thought to add apple cider and I can not wait to try it!!
There are recipes for things like sumac and gigante beans--which I have never heard of and don't know where to buy, which is kind of a turn off with cookbooks for me. But I am excited to try both the Gentle Lentils and the Blistered Miso Sweet Potatoes.
The recipes for treats all look amazing! I have been trying to eat vegan desserts lately and all of the recipes contain eggs and dairy, but I did earmark a couple for my daughters to try and they look delicious!

Clean Enough
By Katzie Guy-Hamilton
Wow starting off this book is unlike other cookbooks. It is a holistic guide to bettering yourself inside and out. I totally appreciate this as I struggle with anxiety/depression. I personally took more from the authors perspective on health, food, and living then I did from the recipes shared. I did not connect with many of the recipes even though I enjoy almost all the ingredients. I am a much simpler cook and baker when it comes to preparation and taste. These recipes are all full of new ideas for a more "made from scratch" cook or baker. I enjoyed reading the recipes and trying to take some ideas from them for my own recipe box but I did not like any of the recipes wholly to try alone. Here is the order of the book:
Section one: Clean:
Drinks, Harmony Bowls, Toast, Greens, Prepared Veggies, The Good Startch, Soups on, Clean Pantry;
Section two: Enough:
Cookies, Cake, Pie, Long Weekends, Ice Creams and Chilly Treats, Sweet Pantry

Great cookbook for those wanting a selection of clean recipes with some wonderful desserts as well. There are many recipes in the clean portion of the book that are a bit too much for me, but generally, I found the recipes to be easy to follow and interesting to read. Katzie has a way with words that makes even recipes enjoyable to read.

This book is a recipe book for simple clean foods that you can eat at a meal or store in your pantry as a snack. It begins with the author's philosophy on why clean enough is the right path, rather than the strict clean eating that recent fads have called people to adhere.
Readers who are trying to move in a whole foods direction would benefit from the simple clean recipes and the brief philosophy shared by the author. The writing is a little flower en doesn't seem like an authentic and sincere explanation. The book expresses ways to manage one's relationship with food, but I think it's lacking something. it is possible that it ignores the deeper affliction that many people have in their relationship with food and simply asks you to center yourself and eat tasty food to heal that relationship.

I received an ARC of this book to read in exchange for a fair review. Clean Enough by Katzie Guy-Hamilton is a collection of Vegetarian (she uses eggs and dairy) recipes. The recipes I tried were tasty and easy to follow ...Most of the recipes are made from ingredients already in your pantry or easily available at the grocery store. It’s January and you made that resolution to be healthier... this book will help you with some new ideas to set you on the right track. I found the writing style to be welcoming and engaging... not preachy at all. The recipes encompass healthy choices for breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks with some sweet treats to help you through any cravings.

A gorgeous cookbook with delicious recipes and stunning photographs! All recipes are vegetarian and rich in plant-based superfoods. Pick up this book if you are looking to feel better and have more energy or if you are merely looking for new recipes and meal ideas. I can't wait to make some of the salads, soups and decadent desserts!

I love cookbooks. Especially ones that have fresh new ideas. Unfortunately I was unable to read this copy on e-boo due to the poor quality of the print. I hope the book is better. I would love to have seen the recopies the pictures are beautify;

It's not often I find a book that fits my favorite eating style: vegetables and desserts. While I personally love the nearly 50:50 ratio, I'm sure others will wonder why there aren't more hearty veggie dishes. I received an unedited proof so page numbers (for the dressing of a specific recipe) weren't there yet, which makes things difficult. I really appreciate the recipes having both cups AND grams.
I've been on a kick of savory sides and the Blistered Miso Sweet potatoes fits the bill. Carrot, Sweet Potato, and Pickled Raisin salad is perfect - nice and crunchy with plenty of color and a punch of acid. I've been dying to make the Bright Bean Sprout Salad but can't seem to time my sprouts and cooking before they turn to a sludge in the bottom of the bag. When things warm up I"ll be making the Coconut Cake with Toasted Lime Meringue.

Talk about gourmet done easy! This wonderful book not only has amazing food photography that had me drooling, but I found the recipes to be delicious and easy to make!
I love to cook and experimenting with new flavors and I was able to replicate the dishes and add my own twist to some to sate the other pallets I have in the house!
Clean eating with yummy dishes, desserts and smoothies will get you feeling and looking great before summer!
