Purchase options and add-ons
“Healthy in a Hurry helps busy, working moms (like me) get delicious meals on the table fast with tried-and-true recipes that are full of comfort, flavor, and easy variety.”—Melissa Urban, co-founder and CEO of Whole30
Beloved author Danielle Walker proves that healthy cooking is both doable and oh-so-satisfying. In Healthy in a Hurry, Danielle presents more than 150 paleo recipes inspired by her sunny California lifestyle and diverse cuisines from around the world, including:
• No-cook lunches: Pesto Chicken, Nectarine & Avocado Salad; Thai-Style Shrimp Salad; Steak Lettuce Wraps with Horseradish Cream Sauce
• Freezer-friendly meals: Pork Ragu over Creamy Polenta; Turkey Chili Verde; Baked Pepperoni Pizza Spaghetti with Ranch
• Delicious pasta dishes: Curry Noodles with Shrimp; Mac & Cheese; Creamy Roasted Garlic, Chicken Sausage & Arugula Pasta
• Sheet pan dinners: Mediterranean Salmon with Artichokes & Peppers; Lemongrass-Ginger Pork Chops with Crunchy Jicama & Mint Salad; Peruvian Steak & French Fries
• Easy grills: Skirt Steak Tacos with Sriracha Aioli; Hawaiian BBQ Chicken with Grilled Bok Choy & Pineapple; Chipotle Cranberry–Sweet Potato Turkey Burgers
Each recipe is shaped by Danielle's capable hands to be free of gluten, grains, and dairy—and most have just ten ingredients or fewer. And if that weren't good enough, every recipe is photographed and all are fast to make, giving busy people with dietary restrictions lots of ways to eat well on a tight schedule. With prep times and cook times, dietary guidelines, a pantry of sauces and spice mixes, and six weeks of meal planning charts, Healthy in a Hurry will help you become the calm, organized cook you've always aspired to be.

Editorial Reviews
Review
“Danielle is always inspiring me with the way she cooks and manages to get the meal on the table in what seems like an effortless flash. This newest cookbook proves that it is indeed possible. This book is a necessity for every kitchen, with so many new favorite recipes that I will be adding to my weeknight rotation!”—Ayesha Curry, New York Times bestselling cookbook author, television host, and producer
“From dishes that can be prepared in 30 minutes or less (Cajun Chicken ‘Pasta’) to meals that don’t require any cooking at all (Pesto, Chicken, Nectarine, and Avocado Salad), Walker’s recipes are sure to delight busy home cooks. Likewise, Walker’s sheet pan meals—such as her Sweet-and-Sour Pork, and Herb-Crusted Black Cod with Harissa Cauliflower—prove to be delectably handy for harried weeknights, as do her tips for ‘freezer cooking,’ which allow readers to make and freeze up to five recipes ahead of time: her foolproof Creamy Sausage, Kale, and Sweet Potato Soup, for instance, takes under 15 minutes to make and cook. Whether home cooks have dietary restrictions or just want to eat healthy, this is a book that they will turn to time and again.”—Publishers Weekly
About the Author
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
When I wrote my first cookbook in 2013, I wasn’t sure I would have reason to write another. But as the years passed, more and more readers shared with me their stories of finding health through food, and my passion to provide recipes for those on a similar journey only intensified. Now, five books later, it seems that more than ever people realize the value of feeding themselves and their loved ones healthy, nutritious meals over highly processed foods.
I have been trying to recover from the autoimmune disease ulcerative colitis for twelve years. While food has saved me in so many ways over the years, it hasn’t been a perfect process and there have been a lot of bumps in the road. Even while eating a healthy diet, I have run myself into the ground or bumped up against unavoidable trauma and life’s daily stresses, causing me to experience setbacks. After going through that cycle many times, I’ve come to realize that while food is a very powerful device in the overall toolbox, it is just one of many ways to maintain my health. I’ve learned so much about how taking care of my body with nourishing food can be less impactful if I don’t take care of my emotional, physical, and spiritual needs, too. For my body to be at its healthiest, I must also prioritize rest, exercise, mindfulness, counseling or therapy, and journaling. But the time I devote to preparing food also goes into the equation. Spending hours in the kitchen in an attempt to eat healthy can sometimes just add to the stress. I wrote this book to achieve the former (healthy eating!) and avoid the latter (kitchen stress).
“I’m too sick.” “I don’t have time to cook.” “My kids or spouse won’t like this dish.” “The ingredients are too expensive.” “I don’t know how to cook.” At one time or another, I’ve said all of these things about cooking. And they are also what I hear most frequently from people who are afraid to start cooking healthy foods.
After I released Eat What You Love, my cookbook filled with recipes for comfort foods and childhood favorites, I received so many requests from readers asking for easy meals for beginning cooks. Some wrote of being intimidated by my use of ingredients like arrowroot powder (it looks a lot like cornstarch), coconut aminos (it tastes a lot like soy sauce), and coconut milk (you can use it like cream). Many chronically ill people sought a book that would teach them or their loved ones who care for them how to nourish their bodies with homemade, healthy food. Others told me of simply wanting to cook healthily to nourish their family but of not always having the time to do it. (Isn’t that all of us?) Well, this is the book that does all of that! And although you may occasionally see an ingredient that you aren’t familiar with, the majority of the ingredients are staples in a grain-free kitchen and each will be used multiple times throughout the book, allowing you to purchase them with the confidence they won’t go to waste.
I also drew upon my love of different cuisines from all over the world to create these recipes. Having lived in California nearly all of my life, I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing many different food styles. My dad also traveled internationally for work when I was younger, which meant we frequently had overseas guests who would share some of their culture through food. In addition to inheriting a love of Italian cuisine from my dad’s side of the family, I came to appreciate many other food traditions during my childhood. From Thai, Korean, and Moroccan to Greek and traditional California cuisine, there’s a lot to love in this book.
I wanted to keep the flavors and approaches fresh and exciting for those of you who, like me, have been eating grain-free and gluten-free for more than a decade. I also tried to ensure that each recipe is approachable enough for those of you who are just venturing into this lifestyle, perhaps feeling afraid that things won’t taste as good as the foods you’re losing. Nothing should ever, ever taste like cardboard! That’s not a sustainable approach. And this way of eating is a lifestyle, not a diet.
Eat well, feel great friend!
Danielle

I have already made a few of the recipes and have LOVED each one. We made “Thai Basil beef” last night which is a takeout fav of ours and it did not disappoint. The night before it was Peruvian beef and sweet and sour pork which will all be in our regular rotation.
Today we are making Swedish meatballs and next curry noodle soup.
I don’t want to say it’s her “best cookbook yet” because they are all great however, these recipes are quick and seriously delicious.
I don’t even want to eat out-I’m so excited to get to the next recipe and I find myself wandering to the couch with a snuggly blanket and notepad to flip through the beautiful pics and read her great tips and plan what I’ll make next.
I really appreciate the personal notes left in the book. I don’t want to give too much away because I want other to buy it and have their own delightful experience.
I don’t think there was a recipe in the book I’m not excited to make!!
To me this is a must buy not only for people with AI or dietary issues but for anyone who…..loves delicious food???
Haha.
Really though it’s for everyone because it’s clean, healthy, AND incredibly delicious.
Do it for your health, your kids health, your families health or do it because you like yummy food, whatever the reason… just do it!!
If you want or need motivation go read her book food saved me. Actually, I prefer you listen to it as she narrates it and happens to be a fantastic story teller. I laughed, I cried, I celebrated, and I sympathized it was deeply personal and relatable. It was also very motivating which if you’re struggling with AI and have a family it can be so challenging to stay motivated but these recipes and her personal story really make me feel not alone and hopeful.
Thanks for the love put into this book (these books) Danielle you are the best!

I already can see that this latest offering will be well-used- it probably will overtake Celebrations as our most used cookbook in no time. The recipes are diverse in flavor, beautifully photographed, and each one contains so many tips, variations, and tricks. Danielle is so thoughtful and is so relatable as she educates the home cook throughout the pages.
We have gluten-free, grain-free, and unrestricted eaters in our family, and everyone already has picked recipes that they are excited to try.
I love that Danielle is offering a line of spice blends that will make prep even faster (but she includes recipes for the spices in the book if you prefer to make the blends yourself).
Each recipe has prep time, cook time, dietary guidelines (GF, DF, Whole 30, etc) and there are even a few QR codes that lead to video tutorials. There are meal plans, discussion of budget vs convenience, and a beautiful recipe index in the back with thumbnails of each recipe, each with cooking time! So well thought out.
I am so impressed by this book, and can't wait to try more recipes! The few we have tried that were available ahead of the release of the book were quick and amazing! I'm so grateful for this beautiful resource, and highly recommend it!
There are three things I love best about this cookbook. First, is all the tips, tricks, and tidbits she offers throughout. The QR Codes are also fantastic. I love the videos and I think for a newbie to this type of cooking, and even for a seasoned cook, these extras really add amazing value to the book.
The second thing I love is the amount of “foundation recipes,” as I call them, that she has included. Things like spice mixes, porridge base, polenta, salad dressings, aioli, enchilada sauces, etc. These are often things that are missing in a paleo-type diet and being able to have recipes to fill these gaps is amazing.
My third favorite thing I love is how accessible these recipes are for everyone. Even if you don’t have or want to eat paleo, SCD, gluten free, etc., these recipes are still perfect for everyone.
In closing, I was fortunate enough to be a recipe tester for this cookbook, I can attest to the ease, quick-cooking, and most of all, the amazing deliciousness of the recipes. It has never been easier to be “Healthy in a Hurry.”
Thank you Danielle!

I can’t wait to start cooking the recipes from Danielle’s latest book. After perusing the book, I know without a shadow of a doubt, these recipes will be every bit as good, if not better than her previous recipes. Not only does Danielle have incredible creative talent to continue to provide us with mouth-watering recipes, but she also takes into account the needs of her followers. Her latest cookbook provides this in spades.
Please buy all of Danielle Walker’s cookbooks. Each one is inspiring. You will never look at any other cookbook again after cooking Danielle’s recipes.
