SUPERMARKET HEALTHY: RECIPES AND KNOW-HOW FOR EATING WELL WITHOUT SPENDING A LOT
Food Network star and New York Times bestselling author Melissa d’Arabian proves that healthy home cooking can be easy, affordable, and achievable with ingredients from your neighborhood grocery store
“Just like so many families in America, we have a mortgage, bills, and four kids to budget for. So I made it my job to figure out a way to create food for my family that is just as healthy and good as what is being sold in fancy, premium markets, but that also respects my need to be a smart, price-savvy shopper. That’s why I decided to make [this] the focus of my second cookbook.”
—Melissa d’Arabian, from the Introduction to Supermarket Healthy
In her highly anticipated second cookbook, Food Network personality and New York Times bestselling author Melissa d’Arabian proves healthy eating can be easy, affordable, and achievable with ingredients from the neighborhood grocery store. In SUPERMARKET HEALTHY: Recipes and Know-How for Eating Well Without Spending a Lot (Clarkson Potter/Publishers; on sale December 30, 2014; $24.99; Trade paperback), Melissa—a trusted resource on healthy and affordable family home cooking—busts the myth that healthy home cooking requires trips to specialty stores for fancy and high-priced ingredients.
Publishing just in time for the most popular New Year’s resolutions to eat better and save money, Supermarket Healthy is the ultimate toolkit for every home cook who wants to do both, without sacrificing flavor or variety.

Rooted in the way she cooks and eats at home, Melissa created Supermarket Healthy from a health-conscious perspective and with a focus on recipes that feature ample protein, healthy fats, slow-burning complex carbohydrates, and plenty of vitamins and nutrients.
