After years of perfecting
In Simply Plants, I share a collection of recipes that has been nearly a decade in the making. What began in my little kitchen grew into a community of millions, and over the years, one of the questions I was asked again and again was when a cookbook would finally be coming. Now it's finally here! And thanks to you, it's already a New York Times bestseller. Inside, you’ll find mostly brand-new recipes I’ve been saving for this moment, alongside a few fan-favorite dishes, all created with the same intention that has always guided Pick Up Limes: to make plant-based eating feel simple, satisfying, approachable, and free from pressure.

FAQs
How many recipes are in Simply Plants?
There are 109 plant-based recipes in Simply Plants, which are organized into chapters including breakfasts, handhelds, salads, soups, pastas, curries, desserts, and more. Most of the recipes are brand new, with a small collection of fan favourites woven in.
Is Simply Plants beginner-friendly?
Yes, very much so! Simply Plants is designed for anyone curious about vegan cooking, whether you're just getting started, trying to eat more plants, or have been at it for years. The recipes are built around simple methods, easy-to-find ingredients, and making cooking feel enjoyable.
What measurement units are used in Simply Plants?
The cookbook includes both metric measurements (such as grams and millilitres) and US customary measurements (such as cups and tablespoons), making the recipes easy to follow wherever you are! One exception is that grams aren't listed for smaller quantities under ¼ cup (such as teaspoons). Similarly, unit ingredients (such as 1 carrot) are listed by quantity when their exact weight isn't essential to the recipe. For fruits and vegetables where weight can make a difference, both grams and pounds are provided. If you'd like a closer look at the cookbook's layout, many online shops such as Amazon offer preview pages you can browse before purchasing.
Is nutrition information included?
Yes! While detailed nutrition information isn’t included in the printed cookbook, everyone who purchases Simply Plants gets free access to all the cookbook recipes in the Pick Up Limes app. There, you’ll find detailed nutrition information for each recipe, including macronutrients and micronutrients, along with step-by-step instructions, grocery lists, and the option to add recipes to your personal meal planner.
Can I buy Simply Plants from a local bookstore?
Yes! Simply Plants is available through many local bookstores. If you don’t see it on the shelves, we’d encourage you to ask your local bookseller if they can order a copy for you. You can also find a list of popular retailers on our website.
