Okay, so I impulse-bought this cookbook because the cover was just too pretty to resist. Glowing skin from food? Sign me up! But honestly, I expected another 'healthy-but-tastes-like-cardboard' situation.

Surprise #1: The buckwheat bread recipe is LEGIT delicious. Like, I-make-it-every-Sunday good. It's nutty, hearty, and doesn't crumble into sad gluten-free dust.

Plot twist: Those beetroot brownies? Mind blown. They're fudgy, rich, and my kids had no idea they were eating vegetables. Sneaky mom win!

Warning though - some recipes require patience (looking at you, 48-hour fermented porridge). But the rainbow chard tart made it worth the wait - Instagram-worthy AND tasty.

Bonus: My skin did start looking brighter after a month of these recipes! Or maybe it's placebo effect... either way, I'll take it!
