Our Favorite Cookbooks Right Now

As constant cookers (is that a word?  Quinn’s grandma says it, so let’s roll with it) we are constantly looking for new and fresh ideas.

Sometimes divine inspiration strikes when strolling through the grocery store or farmer’s markets, but sometimes we need to take it up a notch and seek it out at a stellar farm-to-table restaurant or in a kickass cookbook…

And our video below is all about the latter!  Watch to see our current faves for getting our “foodbrain” juices flowing and make sure to stay tuned until the end because we have a special announcement.

We created our own cookbook!

We are SO freaking excited to announce the arrival of our new baby, {Healthy} Cooking Camp’s {Healthy} Basics Cookbook!

It includes over 30 of our most tried and true recipes for mind-blowingly delicious, healthy food, and features some of our signature dishes that can only be found in this cookbook, like:

  • No-Bake Brownie
  • HCC Grab-n-Go Bar
  • Gorgeous Glazed Salmon
  • Mmm mmm Miso Pesto
  • Free Up Your Fridge Frittata

This is the perfect cookbook for someone who wants to start cooking healthier food but needs to know exactly where to begin. 

We totally break it down so you know exactly how many servings each recipe yields, how long it will take AND for each recipe we include 5 suggested “swaps” so you can play around with the ingredients and really make these recipes feel like your own.

“Wellness and health isn’t something we cover very often on The Urban Grocer. But when it comes in the form of a forward-thinking project, aimed at inspiring a global community, we’re all ears. This is where Robyn and Quinn step-in. The creative minds behind {Healthy} Cooking Camp – an online interactive cooking program – Robyn and Quinn take urbanites from totally confused to connoisseur when it comes to creating meals that truly nourish. So we caught-up with these up-and-coming leading ladies of healthy eating to see just what their noshing on at 3am…

(1) We’ll eat anything but: Puppies.

(2) The best city for eating is: NYC, for sure. Brooklyn bolsters that vote.

(3) Because we can never have too much: Kale. All day, every day, any way you make it. Kale.

(4) Our favorite farmers’ market is: Myanmar, Burma. Hard to make it there every week, so as a default we’ll say Santa Monica. Ugh, they have produce that makes the heart sing. Meyer lemons and avocados for 25 cents each? Umm, yes please!!!

(5) Our last meal would be: Whole roasted fish with lemon, rosemary and garlic + perfectly roasted potatoes. Then every single thing at Momofuku milk bar.

(6) Most exciting chef right now: We’ve got nothing by love for Dan Barber. That man is a genius who stands for the quality of the ingredients. He’s doing incredible, innovative things with food and the sustainable agriculture movement on a whole.

(7) If we weren’t in food, we’d be:
Quinn: Gallivanting around around the world, working on different organic farms.
Robyn: On an ashram in India meditating in full lotus for 10 hours straight.

(8) Street food is unbeatable in: Bali! The open air market cuisine is to die for.

(9) At 3am, you’ll find us noshing on: We’re health coaches, which means we’re usually in bed by 11. BUT if we were out having fun, and say, getting our dance on (which actually happens quite often), we’ve been known to come home and make a big, bad batch of oven baked french “fries” with a homemade dipping sauce (mayo, BBQ sauce… you name it!). Hey! It happens.

(10) Our current food obsession are: 
Quinn: Grain free waffles with exotic flavor profiles.
Robyn: Sweet scrambled eggs. Don’t knock it ’til you try it! 1 grated carrot, 3 scrambled eggs, vanilla, tons of cinnamon and coconut oil.
