It’s a little over a year from when we started, and Fouad and I are proud to say that Life-Changing Food, the new cookbook from Quirky Cooking, is finally here! During this period of time, we’ve been blown away by the support we’ve received from the Quirky Cooking community. Quirkies from all over showed up in force to support us in making our book a reality by pre-ordering their copies, so a big thank you to you all!
When we set out to write Life-Changing Food, we wanted it to be a world class cookbook that represented the bounty and abundance of whole food cooking. We wanted to share our stories and inspire readers to make a healthy change with beautiful recipes and stunning photography. Life-Changing Food does all that, and more. We couldn’t be happier with it.
Life-Changing Food is a collection of 128 whole food, gluten-free recipes, and the majority of recipes are presented with Thermomix® methods as well as conventional methods. The book is for everyone, from novices to experienced cooks. The focus is on flavour and nutrition, so the recipes are easy to follow but deliver beautiful dishes that offer nourishment and healing. If you’re just starting out with gluten-free/whole food cooking, or if you’ve been eating this way for a while, Life-Changing Food will help you progress even further on your journey to wellness.

Hi Jo
I would like to see the recipe index but there is nowhere to enter my email address on the order page.
Could you send it to me please.
The book looks great but I want to check if there aret many ingredients I won’t be able to get like cassava and purple sweet potato ( I can substitute kumara) as I have very limited ingredient availability in my area
Thanks,
Louise Fressard
Hi Louise, sorry for the late reply! You may already have a copy of Life-Changing Foods but if not, the index can be found here: http://bit.ly/lcfindex 🙂
I received mine yesterday and have carried it with me to my naturopath’s last night (so she could look at it while I was getting acupuncture, her copy hadn’t arrived) and at work today so I could look at it over lunch. I’m so excited! I loved your other book as well but this one is so perfect with the “grain free” recipes. I can’t wait to try many many recipes! Thank you to you and Fouad for putting this together.
It’s got great recipes but it’s also Gorgeous!!! Even hubby commented on what a beautiful (and heavy) book it was (he didn’t have a chance to look at it a lot yet, I’m hogging it!!!). I’ve got broth on already tonight! Yay! Thank you!!!!!
Wow France! 🙂 Thanks so much for such a lovely comment. I am so happy to hear you love the book and are excited about using it…hopefully you’ve already put it to very good use. xx
I have been working my way through this recipe book, i have cooked around 30 recipes already and love them all !!
What a legend Aleesa!! What’s your favourite so far? 🙂
i just received mine in the post last friday…I can”t wait to start cooking these wonderful healing, nutritious meals for my family! Thank you
You’re very welcome Jeremy! Hope you’re loving it! 🙂
Hi Jo and Fouad.
Just received my copy of your beautiful book. Have already made the shortbread biscuits. Best biscuits I’ve had since going gluten free. Big hit at work including with all the gluten eaters. Can’t wait to try the breads.
Thank you very much
Jack
Oh yay Jack! 🙂 Glad you and your work colleagues loved the biscuits…they’re amazing, aren’t they? Tried any of the breads yet? xx
Is thew recipe book only available in hardcopy or is there an electronic version
Hi Alison,
Thanks for your question. At the moment there is only the printed version of the book available, and at this stage we aren’t planning to release it in electronic format. We appreciate your support!!
I got my book this week from Go Vita Cairns, couldn’t make it to the signing 🙁
What a beautiful book – Butter Chicken amazing and Sweet Potato Rosti so good the kids loved them.
I have so many pages flagged – love it.
Great work Jo and Fouad!
Thanks for your comments Lucette. Sorry you couldn’t make it to the signing but glad you’re loving the book so far! 🙂
Hi Viktor,
Our book is available for order here: https://www.quirkycooking.com.au/order-life-changing-food/
We are currently taking back-orders until we receive our new shipment of books in a few weeks.
Hi. I have a total plant based diet now for 4 weeks. What percentage of recipes are suitable? I don’t have a thermomix either.
Hi Helen, all the recipes have a conventional method so you don’t have to have a Thermomix. The main meal recipes mostly have animal products, but about one third of them are either vegetarian or have vegetarian options. The other recipes (basics, desserts, snacks, baking etc) are mostly vegetarian friendly. 🙂

Hi Jo/foud,
Is life changing foods available from any retail outlets?
Regards
Heather
Yes, it sure is! Check with your local The Source Bulk Foods stores or Go Vita stores, and many other health food shops, cafes, book shops and gift shops have it also. Maybe ring around in your local area, or send us an email if you can’t find it and we’ll check for you.
I was too late to purchase your amazing book from The Source at Warriewood Square, one of the girls in there said she thought they may not be restocking it. I just wanted to have another flick before purchasing it. Is there anywhere else on Sydney’s Northern Beaches which stock Life Changing Food?
Hi Kate! 🙂 The following store normally stocks our book. It would be worth giving them a call first before making a trip out there. xx
Willoughby, Sydney – 183-191 High St, Willoughby, NSW 2068. Phone: 02 9967 2009
Hi Jo, Does this cookbook have the life changing pastry recipe?
Thanks.
Ruchi
Hi Ruchi, yes it does! 🙂
