Description
In her inspiring New York Times bestselling memoir, It Was Me All Along, Andie Mitchell chronicled her struggles with obesity, losing weight, and finding balance. Now, in her debut cookbook, she gives readers the dishes that helped her reach her goals and maintain her new size. In 80 recipes, she shows how she eats: mostly healthy meals that are packed with flavor, like Lemon Roasted Chicken with Moroccan Couscous and Butternut Squash Salad with Kale and Pomegranate, and then the "sometimes" foods, the indulgences such as Peanut Butter Mousse Pie with Marshmallow Whipped Cream, because life just needs dessert. With 75 photographs and Andie's beautiful storytelling, Eating in the Middle is the perfect cookbook for anyone looking to find freedom from cravings while still loving and enjoying every meal to the fullest.

Reviews
"This book has exactly the kinds of foods I love--healthy, wholesome dishes you won't believe are light, and a few decadent treats sprinkled in for those special occasions, because let's be realistic, isn't that what life's about? Eating in the Middle is about balance, not about depravation. I adore Andie, and I can't wait to dig in to that Peanut Butter Mousse Pie!"
--Gina Homolka, author of The Skinnytaste Cookbook "Most every woman, at some point in her life, is able to relate to Andie's struggle with weight and food. Therefore, many will find something in this book, whether it's comforting advice or a satisfying meal. Eating in the Middle provides any level of cook with recipes that nourish the body while satisfying the taste buds--a difficult feat, which Andie masters flawlessly! Her stories are beautifully written and echo the inspiring mantras of her bestselling memoir. This cookbook will make you fall in love with food all over again, in a balanced, mostly wholesome way."
--Ali Maffucci, author of Inspiralized
"This girl is not only a storyteller, but man, is she a chef. She knows what she is doing in the kitchen and she knows how to string words together in such a beautiful way to express herself and send her message directly to her readers' hearts. I can't think of anyone better suited to write a cookbook, and I hope there are many more where this came from. I credit Andie for reigniting my passion for cooking after my own eating disorder struggle. Thank you, Andie, for being a sensation and an inspiration."
--Jordan Younger, author of Breaking Vegan and lifestyle blogger at TheBalancedBlonde.com "With Eating in the Middle, Andie is squashing the all-or-nothing dieting attitude one recipe at a time. You can feel her vibrant and genuine spirit in each word. In fact, Andie is your best friend on this journey with you. I've never seen a cookbook celebrate a realistic, healthful lifestyle (with the occasionally indulgence!) as well as Eating in the Middle. Fabulous!"
--Jessica Merchant, author of Seriously Delish and blogger at HowSweetEats.com
"Anyone who is or wants to be a mindful eater will treasure Eating in the Middle, as moderation has never been more approachable and satisfying. Those who loved Andie's memoir, It Was Me All Along, will be thrilled that she's back with another work as honest as it is delicious."
--Kerry Diamond, cofounder of Cherry Bombe magazine "Andie Mitchell makes balance possible for us all in her new book by reimagining her favorite dishes and foods for a modern (and moderate) lifestyle."
--Claudia Wu, cofounder of Cherry Bombe magazine "As someone who has obsessed over food my whole life, in both positive and challenging ways, I felt that reading Andie's words was like hearing the voice inside of my head. I'm sure I'm not the only one to feel that way. Once again, just like she did in her moving memoir, Andie gives us so much. Not only are there recipes that will make you want to get in the kitchen immediately, there's that honest and vulnerable voice that makes us feel less alone in the struggle to maintain healthy relationships with both food and ourselves."
--Julia Turshen, cookbook writer "I love Andie's healthy approach to healthy eating. Stressing over what to eat can be just as bad for our health as eating poorly, but she definitely strikes the right balance in Eating in the Middle."
