Danielle Brown, the powerhouse creator behind HealthyGirl Kitchen and a leading voice in plant-based, feel-good, wholesome cooking, has officially become a two-time New York Times bestselling author with the release of her second cookbook, Life-Changing Salads. Published by DK/Penguin Random House, the book has struck a powerful chord with readers nationwide and cemented Brown’s place as a force in the kitchen.
To kick off the book’s success, Brown hosted a vibrant launch party and book signing at the iconic Butterfield Market in New York City, where over 300 fans gathered to meet the author, to enjoy an exclusive book signing, and sample one of the standout salad recipes featured in the book. Guests were treated to Danielle’s California Roll in a Bowl—a fresh, flavorful take on the classic sushi roll—which is available at Butterfield Market now. The event celebrated Brown’s passion for making healthy, plant-based eating approachable, delicious, and—true to her brand—life-changing
“Seeing so many members of the HealthyGirl community come together was absolutely surreal,” said Brown. “It reminded me how powerful food can be in bringing people together—and how excited we all are to nourish our bodies without giving up flavor, fun, or connection.”
The buzz didn’t stop there. Brown has been featured on a whirlwind media tour, including appearances on Food52, popular health and wellness podcasts, and segments with leading food and lifestyle outlets and creators. With over 12 million followers across social media platforms, Brown’s influence continues to ripple through kitchens across the country—empowering her community to embrace flavorful, wholesome plant-based meals for everyone.
Life-Changing Salads is the follow-up to Brown’s debut bestseller HealthyGirl Kitchen: 100+ Plant-Based Recipes to Live Your Healthiest Life, and expands her vision with 75 inventive salad recipes and 25 bold, crave-worthy dressing recipes. From quinoa-packed bowls to hearty pasta salads and fresh, fruit-forward combinations, the book redefines what a salad can be—and why it should be the star of every plate.
“Danielle is leading a movement,” said Christina Brennan, President of The Digital Renegades and Brown’s longtime manager. “Her recipes are for anyone who wants to eat well, not just plant-based diet followers. Watching Life-Changing Salads skyrocket to the bestseller list has been amazing and I am so proud of Danielle and the team.”
Life-Changing Salads is now available nationwide through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Bookshop.org, and other major retailers.
