It Starts with the Egg Fertility Cookbook: 100 Mediterranean-Inspired Recipes

I just start my fertility journey. I have a low egg count, AMH at 0.8 and I am 28 years old. I can't increase the number of eggs I have but I can improve the quality, I bought this book to help me do that. It has a lot of information, and I think it's a great starting point on figuring out the kinds of food that can help.

I looove this book. I struggle with PCOS&endo. This book has helped me look at infertility differently and has the best recipes!

I never thought about the power of what you feed your body! I started following this book like to the T WHILE TRYING TO CONCEIVE AND IT WORKED💗

For the original book along with this one. Really enjoy some of these recipes

I learned a lot but I wish there were pictures. A cookbook without color and without pictures of the food takes out the fun in cooking from a cookbook. Maybe when I cook the meals or bake, I'll take a picture and put it in the book.

Wonderful and very knowledgeable Read especially if you and your spouse are on a journey with infertility. Definitely Recommend!

The book begins with 6 chapters (55 pages or so) of guidelines and advice that are quite valuable, although I am not sure how much is new information versus just rehashed content from It Starts With The Egg. I was mainly looking forward to the recipes, especially as they're called "Mediterranean diet inspired." My husband's doctor has 'prescribed' him a Mediterranean diet for reasons unrelated to TTC, so we were trying to eat that way anyway, but now we are also TTC... I saw this book and it seemed perfect. I am trying to stick to the guidelines/principles that make the Mediterranean diet so healthy without necessarily limiting us to dishes of Mediterranean origin (for example, lots of Asian foods, especially from Blue Zones in that part of the world, also fit in just fine!), so I thought this book may have some gems. I was hoping to find dishes of non-Mediterranean origin with thoughtful edits to make them conform to the diet's guidelines better than they might usually do. Alas, the recipes seem to have just been thrown together without any kitchen testing. One soup recipe states it makes 2-4 servings, but it calls for an entire rotisserie chicken and only 2 cups of liquid? There were also the usual veggie suspects involved, but I'm skeptical that 1/4 rotisserie chicken and 4oz liquid in a bowl (plus veggies) would be wet enough to call 'soup'. As another review noted, there's a salmon katsu recipe that fails to include a katsu sauce: basically just breaded salmon. The book/diet encourages limiting red meat, yet the breakfast section includes a recipe for ground beef breakfast sausage (1tsp dried sage and 1/4tsp marjoram hardly seems adequate for 2lbs ground beef, and that's basically the whole recipe) I would prefer more inspo for healthier / more diet-aligned things to make the rest of the time, rather than a lackluster sausage recipe that I'd almost consider to be a "cheat" meal. If I'm going to have my red meat for the week, I'm at least going to season it. There are definitely some recipes included that don't have these issues, but it really put a taste in my mouth that this was cobbled together quickly as a cash-grab follow-up to the main book's (deserved, as far as I can tell) success.

This cookbook goes along with “it starts with the egg” book. The intro of the cookbook does have a little bit of information from the main book to help explain the premise. There are plenty of recipes in the book for a few full weeks worth of cooking. So far everything has been tasty and easy to make.

Très bon bouquin qui fait suite a It starts with the egg. Je recommande

Non è bello questo libro.

This book help me to know more recipe and help me for my fertility

Great easy to follow recipes

Great recipes! Simple to make, tasty and healthy. Just what I was looking for. A couple of the recipes I have had to add extra spice or seasoning or herbs, but I tend to do that anyway with most recipes. So I'm planning my meals around this book now. And I didn't have anywhere to start with the Mediterranean diet so this has made it easy for me. As a bonus, I've lost 1.2kg in a week and a half on this diet so I really can't complain. I took off one star because I'm disappointed it didn't have any photos of the meals. Nutrition information would be useful too.
