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.

Love to eat? You will love this cookbook!
I stumbled across Arash on Instagram last year and was wowed by his food and quickly developed a bit a crush for his kindness and beautiful spirit. This cookbook is the absolute embodiment of all those things and should be a go-to for all people who eat. Not just those looking for low carb or high protein or those looking to eat healthy, but for all people who want to eat delicious food. The recipes are simple, they are fast, they are delicious and as an added bonus, they also happen to be really healthy. Each recipe is just a few simple ingredients and come together quickly. The photos are amazing and Arash’s kind spirit and love of food are contagious.

So Easy, So Good – Perfect book title
I found Arash on Instagram and was inspired by his joy and enthusiasm to try his meals. WOW. So easy, so good, is an apt name for this book. I love that he comes at these recipes as someone who previously struggled with his weight (I can identify)! These recipes are so full of protein and all the right nutrients for a sustainable healthy lifestyle and all done in very easy steps – you donât need to be a whiz in the kitchen to make these meals, though you will feel like it when you taste them. I have found my joy of cooking again after years of diets and counting every calorie and I thank him for that. I can relax because Arash has done the heavy lifting for me, I can rely on these protein-rich carb reduced meals to help me stay on track. We cannot get over how darn tasty everything is, and the leftovers are so good in a pita or over his low-carb Kaizen pasta. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle and relationship with food. The book itself is presented with clear and easy instruction and the pictures are beautiful. Now I have to go, I have new recipes to try!

Your new Mediterranean staple
Shred Happens: So Easy, So Good is a beautifully presented launch into the person and journey of Arash Hashemi. The text is easy to follow and the photographs compel the reader to make every recipe.Mr. Hashemi has presented a reputable cookbook for all food lovers, health conscious or otherwise. As this book was inspired by his pilgrimage to health, a missed opportunity for the target audience itâs marketed to, is not including the nutritional information per serving. Perhaps in your 2nd edition, Mr. Hashemi? I also see a future in you producing and marketing your spice blends and sauces. Welcome home.

I rarely write reviews, but this cookbook truly deserves one. Shred Happens by Arash Hashemi is not just a collection of recipesâitâs a deeply personal journey of transformation, resilience, and mindful eating. From the very first pages, I was hooked by Arashâs honest and heartfelt story. You feel like youâre walking beside him through his challenges and triumphs.The recipes are nutritious, easy to follow, and most importantlyâdelicious! 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. Itâs more than a cookbookâitâs 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.

Iâve been following Arashâs 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. Iâm 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! 🙂
