[bctt tweet=”Happy Cooking by @GDeLaurentiis is a true delight! #cookbooks #chef”]The selection of recipes Giada included for health conscious people is a true delight. But there are plenty of ‘regular’ recipes too. She focuses on eating clean, which is amazing for your body. I wish I had her amazing figure! But that is for another whole blog post lol….

Can you believe this already her 8th cookbook? It just seemed like yesterday… I was seeing this new Italian chef on Food Network. But I guess the time has really flown by!
I love the options Giada included for Clean Eating!
She also talks about how much her life has changed over the last year (with the end of her marriage). She is also ready to start a new chapter in her life. Which includes taking better care of herself by eating healthier, and focusing on her adorable daughter!
Happy Cooking features beautiful pictures! And very easy to follow instructions. So no matter your level cooking expertise, you will truly benefit from this cookbook. It includes more than 200 recipes with time-saving tips. Plus healthy eating strategies for every special occasion or busy weekend.
