Editorial Reviews

When it comes to nutrition, I hesitate to use the word ‘perfect’. Yet when one book provides recipes for mouthwatering, delicious food that gives your body the nutrition it needs, there’s no better word to use. This truly is the ‘perfect blend’ of what you want and what you need.”
— Ashley Koff RD, award-winning dietitian

“I’m constantly looking for more innovative, fun, and delicious ways to incorporate veggies into my family’s diet, and the incredible recipes in The Perfect Blend give me just that opportunity. Tess’s approach to clean, gluten-free, and dairy-free eating never sacrifices flavor and always maximizes nutrients.”
— Danielle Walker, New York Times best-selling author of Against All Grain and Meals Made Simple

“The Perfect Blend brilliantly captures the current mood of the wellness world with chapters that focus on alkalizing, detoxing, energizing, and boosting immunity. Tess effortlessly guides and inspires us through recipes that look gorgeous, taste amazing, and hit every flavor note. They are refreshingly approachable and perfect for everyday nourishment.”
— Amy Chaplin, James Beard award–winning author of At Home in the Whole Food Kitchen

"Masters's latest book proves the blender is still the tabletop appliance that can do all—and we're not just talking about smoothies (though we can't wait to make that avocado daiquiri). You'll learn how to use it for heartier fare like cauliflower-based Tricked-Up Tabouli and a handful of vegan cheeses."
 — Abby Reisner, Tasting Table
