Phoebe Lapine’s The Wellness Project ($25) is not your average cookbook. In fact, it’s not really a cookbook at all. There are no glossy photographs and only 22 recipes within its 384 pages. And yet, it is one of my favorite collections of recipes from 2017 — it's a title that I’ve found myself recommending to others often and wholeheartedly. Written by the blogger behind Feed Me Phoebe, this memoir follows Lapine through a year of experimenting with lifestyle changes, devoting a month each to topics like green beauty, gut health, fitness, stress, and hormonal regulation, all along reporting on what works for her and what doesn’t. Healthy, gluten-free recipes are interwoven throughout its pages, and the ones included are of the appealing and easy-to-make sort.
