Cooking in Real Life represents the golden middle ground that new and experienced home cooks crave: recipes that are inventive but not overly complicated, that use familiar ingredients but encourage us to do things a little bit differently. They are designed to be low-effort, practical, and high-reward. Lidey combines straight-forward delicious cooking with innovative, vegetable-forward recipes, inspired by bold flavors from near and far.

Cooking in Real Life meets you where you are—whether you’re here for the practical tips or the endless possibilities!

Want to meet Lidey in-person? She'll be here in Freedom signing books in our shop on Saturday, August 17th! Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more details!
