“I recently bought your 2 books and have been cooking completely from them for over a month and can't even begin to describe how much better I'm feeling! Also, the amount of variety in my diet is now huge and I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything with all the delicious treat recipes you have!”

“I've been using Sophie's recipes for five years now since the release of Raw & Free and have found them game changing! I'm a busy Mum to three little girls and Sophie's recipes helped nourish me through three pregnancies and three breastfeeding journeys while remaining 100% plant-based. I love the fact that I can create incredible plant-based meals for the whole family using Sophie's cookbooks. There are some recipes that are highly requested (hello Shortbread Toffee Bars) and we can't get enough of. Thanks Sophie for sharing your knowledge and story.”
— Hayley Wilkin, New Zealand“You have sparked something inside me and made me love cooking! I can't stop and I love how easy you've made it for people like me who have no idea how to put flavours together and make them work well! Today we made the tropical biscuits, Moreish potato bake and carrot cake! The carrot cake is DIVINE!!! I've recommended it to all my friends and Pilates and yoga clients.”
— Claudia Domancie, Australia“Your two books are my bibles. Seriously love your recipes and would love to see more.”
— Shona, New Zealand“I spied your book in a book shop in Busselton, Western Australia whilst on holiday and I bought it on the spot then followed your insta blog. It really stood out amongst all the others, and I felt I couldn't leave the shop without it! I've never sat down and read a recipe book from cover to cover. What a beautiful book and I can't wait to get home and put it to good use.”

“I've created over 30 recipes from each of your cookbooks, and they are so simple to follow! I can effortlessly make garden-to-table meals for the visitors I care for through the charity I founded, Heart Place Hospital. I love sharing your recipe books and your inspiring story of healing yourself and keeping your family well. I'm especially excited that salad season is back — last night I made your Eastern Raw Cauliflower Tabouli with Sweet Roast Chickpeas, and it was amazing! Your books truly make nourishing and wholesome cooking a joy.”
— Jacqui O'Connor, New Zealand“I bought both your cookbooks and absolutely love them! The recipes are scrumptious! I have never come across a cookbook that I have fallen in love with and enjoyed so much! So thank you for the recipes!! It's like a new found love for food.”

“I'm blown away by your recipes — they are simple to follow, perfectly balanced, and full of flavour. I particularly enjoy making the salads, which have become my go-to dishes to bring to family dinners and barbecues with friends. I also enjoy making your dips, sauces, and sweet treats not only for myself but also as gifts. Now that I have a family, it's also important for them to have a variety of well-balanced meals, and I know I can always find that in your recipes — your two books have become staples in our household. If you're looking to add incredible plant-based meals to your home cooking, I can't recommend Sophie's recipes enough. Without a doubt, these are the best vegan cookbooks I own.”

“I had a copy of Raw and Free sent to my daughter in Australia for Christmas. I was wanting one too, so I bought one for myself. Lately our conversations are all about what we have made from your book. I had to agree with her when she said that she has never made so many things out of any one recipe book before! Thank you so much.”
— Angela Zillwood, New Zealand“I stumbled across Sophie Steevens' Instagram, Raw and Free, quite by accident. Doing this was the absolute best thing that could have happened for my health. Sophie's cookbooks contain nothing but goodness, together with helpful information to help you get started on your own health journey through wholesome, plant-based foods and lifestyle. We cannot recommend both cookbooks enough and can only hope something new is coming!!”
— Jo Toogood, New Zealand“I gifted my partner the Simple Wholefoods book for his birthday a couple of years ago when he discovered his passion for cooking. We looove the recipes so much. I made the shortbread toffee bars instead of a cake for his birthday. They turned out incredible and are now my go-to dessert to bring along for dinner with friends. By now we also have the Raw and Free cookbook and barely ever cook from any other recipe books. Once the pantry is stocked with staples, the recipes are so easy to put together – and most importantly, absolutely delicious! A massive THANK YOU for sharing your magic.”
— Dani, Germany“I made the mexi mushroom salad for lunch today.. absolutely beautiful and tasty. Have been eating your recipes for weeks now and have never felt better. Congratulations on the new book too Sophie, it's my favourite cookbook by far.”
