Reboot your eating habits with Bon Appétit’s wildly popular online plan, now expanded for the whole year with four two-week seasonal plans and 140 recipes. With a foreword by Adam Rapoport.

What began as an interactive post-holiday plan that puts an emphasis on home cooking and whole foods, the Bon Appétit cleanse has now been expanded for the entire year. Inside you’ll find four different two-week cleanse plans, one for each season, and 140 fabulous recipes that use fresh, flavorful, unprocessed ingredients. High in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—with no refined flours, very limited dairy and saturated fats, little to no alcohol or coffee (and a small serving of dark chocolate!)—the program emphasizes eating mindfully, controlling portion size, and curbing grazing impulses. Empty calories are replaced with filling protein- or fiber-rich snacks.

Following the principle that delicious home-cooked meals are the best way to develop long-lasting healthy eating habits, the tasty recipes in The Bon Appétit Food Lover’s Cleanse—most exclusive to the book—can be enjoyed throughout the year using a variety of seasonal ingredients. The food is enticing enough to convince you to give up everyday staples like white pasta, bread, and processed meats. With the Bon Appétit program, you’ll discover bold and rich fare such as Warm Brussels Sprout Slaw with Mustard Seeds and Walnuts (winter); Lemongrass Shrimp with Mushrooms (spring); Zucchini Tacos with Cabbage and Queso Fresco (summer); and Oven-Roasted Chicken with Grapes (fall).

Designed to encourage good lifelong eating practices, The Bon Appétit Food Lover’s Cleanse is essential for healthy, appetizing, and satisfying food you can feel good about every day of the year.

      In the foreword, Bon Appétit editor-in-chief Adam Rapoport explains that each year the magazine shares food writer Dickerman’s cleanse (developed with nutritionist Marissa Lippert) with their readers. The plan doesn’t dictate overly strict, hard-to-stick-with detoxing, but focuses on resetting after overindulging. Now in book form, the title includes four two-week cleanses, one for each season, and 140 inspired recipes. Readers are primed with a “Prepping for the Cleanse” tips, and Dickerman provides options for substitutions, as well as troubleshooting issues such as what to do when a birthday party hits midcleanse or if your spouse isn’t participate in the eating plan. It’s hard to imagine going hungry with hearty breakfasts such as bulgur with dried apricots and pistachios, or scrambled eggs with smoked salmon, chives, and rye crackers. All of the four-season dinner options include plentiful fish and seafood recipes, such as lemongrass shrimp with mushrooms, and clams with white beans and gremolata. Snacks think outside the chip bag with low-fat options such as blanched cauliflower with chickpea and hazelnut dukkah, and roasted beet and tahini dip with crudités. Menu planners and detailed shopping lists make it easier to follow the full eating cleanse.

      Starred review from January 1, 2016

      Since 2011, food writer Dickerman has worked with registered dietician Marissa Lippert to create an annual cleanse for Bon Appetit's website and magazine. Each cleanse featured two weeks' worth of menus built upon simple guidelines (e.g., avoid booze, limit sugar) meant to coax readers toward healthier habits. Here the author has expanded the concept into a cookbook that includes 140 a la carte recipes (e.g., oven-roasted chicken with grapes, clams with white beans and gremolata, apple slice with honey-chamomile dressing) and four two-week diet plans (one for each season) with menus and shopping lists. Throughout the book, Dickerman preaches moderation and small, meaningful changes. In keeping with this philosophy, she omits calorie counts for recipes. VERDICT Dickerman's approachable guide to whole foods-centric, occasionally meatless healthy eating can help readers curb their postholiday guilt and adopt sustainable life changes. For vegetarians and vegans, Mark Bittman's The VB6 Cookbook is a better choice.
