Sabrina Rudin knows nourishment is key in the kitchen. She believes healthy food should be delicious and satisfying, because that’s how to get everyone at the table to clean their plates—and ultimately to feel their best. Since opening organic, vegetarian restaurant Spring Café in 2013—and then becoming a mom in 2016—she has grown into a passionate advocate for raising awareness about toxins in our food, and educating people and families on how to cook, eat, and live in a better way for both themselves and the planet. 

Now, in her debut cookbook, Sabrina shares the tools you need to create an attainable healthy lifestyle at home. Her methods are straightforward and easy to incorporate into your existing routines, with an ethos centered around the joy and abundance of mealtime. You’ll learn how to choose, prep, cook, and ultimately thrive on plant-based foods. These 100 recipes are both elegant and simple enough to satisfy people of all ages and palates, whether your youngest just developing their palate, a growing teen with a hearty appetite, or a busy professional. 

Start off your day strong with the Fluffiest Gluten-Free Pancakes ever to exist, or if it’s a grab-and-go morning, whip up The Green Banana smoothie (Sabrina’s favorite). Jazz up your next family picnic by packing Classic Tempeh Reuben sandwiches with a side of Big Italian Delicatessen Salad. Make movie night tasty with Simple Hippie Hummus with Crunchy Veggies and Tahini Drizzle and No Bake Peanut Butter Granola Bars. After a cold day, warm up with a mug of “Instant” Hot Coconut Carob. Satisfy everyone with Pam’s One and Only Vegetarian Lasagna, or throw together a Dinner Party Antipasti Board and call over your neighbors. 

Healthy with a Side of Happy will inspire you to shift the foundation of the way you eat and cook for the ones you love, creating healthier, happier lives for all of you. 

Praise for Healthy with a Side of Happy

“Healthy with a Side of Happy is proof that kale and tofu can be just as crave-worthy as cookies (Spring Cafe Aspen’s famous vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies that is). Sabrina’s vibrant, plant-based recipes are equal parts nourishing and delicious. Think family-friendly dinners, satisfying salads, innovative breakfasts, and desserts that never feel like “health food.” This book is a guide to feeling good, feeding the people you love, and finding happiness in every meal.”

Carissa Stanton, NYT Best Selling Author of Seriously, So Good

“Sabrina has been my speed dial go-to for all things health & wellness from the moment we met. I trust her with everything because her knowledge of holistic health is top tier. She knows her stuff inside and out whether your kids are sick (she has a homeopathic remedy for that), she’ll school you on why you want to keep your oils and nut butter in the fridge and before you know it your chips will be in the freezer too. Her simple approach to handling it in the kitchen makes you feel like you can make anything (that’s what she does, she empowers you to take the reins in your life). You can catch me at her spring aspen cafe in nyc or aspen because it’s hands down the cleanest healthiest tasting food you’ll ever find. Healthy with a side of Happy will change the way you look at your plate, yourself and what you choose to put in your body.” 

Melissa Wood Tepperberg, Founder Melissa Wood Health

“I judge food by its craveability factor, and let me tell you, Sabrina’s food is oh-so-craveable. I devour her salads at least once a week, sometimes more! The best part, I feel so happy when I am eating her recipes, much the way I feel when I am with her.” 

Katie Lee Biegel, Cookbook Author and Food Network Host

“Parents already put so much pressure on themselves around food - what to make, what kids will eat, what’s ‘healthy.’ Sabrina takes that pressure off. She shows us that nourishment can be simple, delicious, and good for everyone at the table. This book is both a relief and an inspiration.”

Dr. Becky Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of Good Inside

“Sabrina has this magical way of making healthy living feel joyful, not overwhelming. Healthy with a Side of Happy is so much more than a cookbook—it’s a guide to creating a home and life that nourishes you from the inside out. I’ve been in love with everything she creates at her restaurant, Spring Café Aspen, and now I’m so excited to bring that same inspiration into my own kitchen and now I won’t have to beg Sabrina to have me over for dinner.”
