NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The creator of Shred Happens shares 100+ low-carb, high-protein recipes―all flavored with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flair―that he developed to lose 100 pounds.

“The beautifully vibrant photographs in this book tell you one thing: This is some seriously body-loving food.”—Kat Ashmore, New York Times bestselling author of Big Bites

Arash Hashemi is a regular, food-loving guy who lost 100 pounds by changing the way he eats. He taught himself how to cook to get maximum flavor in minimum time while meeting his macros. His secret? Drawing inspiration from his Persian roots, Mediterranean favorites, and other world cuisines to create crave-worthy spice combinations and sauces for his filling meals. When he started sharing his healthy, easy recipes on social media, they took off, as did his viral low-carb, high-protein Kaizen Pasta. Now, in his debut cookbook, he shares his formula for success: mouthwatering meals built on protein, veggies, and satisfying lower-carb alternatives, dressed up with amazing flavors and sauces.

You’ll find:
Shareable Plates: Invite your friends to split Warm Roasted Eggplant with Tahini and Walnuts.
Spreads & Dips: Make dips a lifestyle with Grilled Eggplant Dip (Baba Ghanoush) and Garlic Feta Dip.
Salads: Hearty faves like Spicy Tuna Salad and Mediterranean Chicken Salad won’t leave you hungry.
Mains: You’ll crave the main event with Lamb Koftas with Cucumber Dill Yogurt Sauce, Ricotta-Stuffed Eggplant Rolls, and Spicy Walnut Jumbo Scallops.
Pasta & Rice: Pasta Carbonara and “Marry Me” Chicken Pasta will soothe your soul.
Power Bowls: Arash’s viral Salmon Power Bowl and Korean Beef Bowl will crush your macros and your hunger.
Sauces & Salsas: Chili Lime Everything Sauce, Zhoug, Chermoula, and Spicy Yum Yum Sauce are absolute game-changers that elevate the most basic plate of protein and veggies into a whole new dimension.
Desserts: Satisfy your sweet tooth without the carbs with Lemon Ricotta Crepes and Baklava Pancakes.

With a philosophy geared toward approachable meals that anyone can make in 30 minutes or less and stunning photography, these recipes deliver soul-satisfying goodness that sets you up for success.

Exceptional! Worth every cent.
This man knows what he's doing. Arash's recipes had my mouth watering just reading the ingredients. I can't wait to try these recipes because I love big, bold flavors with a mix of spice and sweet and crunch to make my taste buds come alive and that's what these recipes aim for. I'm especially excited to try the poached mediterranean halibut, chili lime salmon, korean beef bowl, and baklava pancakes. All the sauces look amazing too and I'll be happy to have some high-quality handmade sauces in the house soon. I've never tried lamb before but this book might convince me!

It arrived today and I can’t wait to try all the dishes! The book is visually stunning and just makes you want to get cooking. Beautiful, easy, healthy food.

    I rarely write reviews, but this cookbook truly deserves one. Shred Happens by Arash Hashemi is not just a collection of recipes—it’s a deeply personal journey of transformation, resilience, and mindful eating. From the very first pages, I was hooked by Arash’s honest and heartfelt story. You feel like you’re walking beside him through his challenges and triumphs.

    The recipes are nutritious, easy to follow, and most importantly—delicious! You can tell they come from a place of passion, culture, and personal growth. I especially loved how the flavors reflect his Middle Eastern and European background, and how he connects food to emotional well-being.

    This cookbook is perfect for anyone looking to eat healthier without sacrificing taste, or simply looking for a source of inspiration to start their own journey. It’s more than a cookbook—it’s a reminder that change is possible, one choice at a time.

    Thank you, Arash, for sharing your story so openly. Highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to cook with purpose, and live with intention.

    Everything in the book looks delicious. I made the Baharat Beef Bowl yesterday and it was probably one of the best things I've tasted in months. Wife loved it. My wife wants me just to make a big bowl of the salad garnish from the recipe it was so good. All the ingredients are fresh and any sauces and spice mixtures have recipe listings as well. Making another dish tonight. The instructions are easy to follow. The pictures are also really clear and appealing.

    I’ve been following Arash’s shred happens instagram page for over a year and instantly fell in love with the delicious, yet healthy, recipes he would share. His story is so inspirational for many, including me. What pulled me most towards his recipes is the fact that they really are just so simple and easy but always packed with flavour. His simple fried chicken and egg salads are my go to when I want a quick meal, and the fried chicken is also a family favorite. I’m so glad that now I have a compilation of all the recipes and cannot wait to cook more delicious food. Thank you, Arash for continuing to inspire us all and for sharing your recipes! :)

    5.0 out of 5 stars Book Review: So Easy, So Good
    Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2025
    Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase
    So Easy, So Good is more than just a cookbook, it’s a life manual disguised as delicious, clean recipes. Arash has created something that speaks to the mind, body, and soul with a rare kind of clarity and integrity. I’ve been one of this book’s biggest champions because it truly lives up to its name and offers so much more beneath the surface.

    At its core, this book reflects Arash’s commitment to the Kaizen way, continuous, incremental self-improvement. That principle isn’t just a passing idea in these pages; it’s the heartbeat of the entire book. With every recipe, every short insight, every nudge toward better habits, Arash reminds us that we don’t have to overhaul our lives overnight. We just have to keep moving forward, one nourishing choice at a time.

    Each dish is so easy to make, stripping away the intimidation factor often tied to healthy eating. But they’re also so good... good for your body, yes, but also good for your spirit. There’s a deep joy in preparing food from this book, because you can feel the love and intentionality behind it.

    What I appreciate most is how So Easy, So Good meets you exactly where you are. Arash doesn’t preach perfection; he encourages progress. His grounded, no-BS tone makes you feel like you’ve got a trusted friend in the kitchen, someone who’s been on the journey and genuinely wants you to thrive.

    This book isn’t about diet culture or temporary change. It’s about building a lifestyle rooted in real food, real self-respect, and sustainable practices. It’s for anyone who wants to feel amazing in their body while living with purpose and presence.

    If you’re looking for a way to reconnect with your health, fuel your growth, and embrace the Kaizen path, So Easy, So Good is your blueprint. I’m proud to stand behind it and even prouder to live by it.
