About the Fraiche and Simple Cookbook
Listen… I’m a Registered Dietitian, and a cookbook author. I WRITE RECIPES FOR A LIVING! And even I found it hard to get dinner on the table at one point.
Getting meals on the table isn’t easy, especially with the pace of life. And I see it. I wrote this book because I wanted to give you some relief from this relentless job and bring some joy back into the process of home cooking. Because it feels good to put something on the table for your family that you’re proud of, but I also don’t want to see you exhausted because of it.
Throughout this journey, what I’ve cared about most is bringing back home cooking and helping women take back their precious time, one simple, delicious meal at a time. And if you like the cookbook, you will LOVE Fraîche Table, which is my digital meal plan that is like having dozens of my best selling cookbooks at your fingertips with meals planned for you and automatic grocery lists. The ultimate mealtime flex.
Fraiche and Simple is my first solo cookbook, and honestly, it’s the book I feel like I was always meant to write. After co-authoring two cookbooks I’ll cherish forever, Fraiche Food, Full Hearts and Fraiche Food, Fuller Hearts, alongside my cousin Jillian Harris, I’m stepping out on my own this time and inviting you straight into my kitchen.
I’ve packed Fraiche and Simple with recipes and learnings that I’ve gained as a dietitian, a home cook, and a mom who knows exactly what it feels like to stand in the kitchen at 5pm with dinner still a big question mark.
Inside you’ll find over 100 nourishing, dietitian-designed recipes for real life. Breakfasts that actually get made (and devoured), like Raspberry Lemon Overnight Oats and Sheet-Pan Breakfast Sandwiches. Weeknight dinners that earn a permanent spot in your rotation, like Smashed Chicken Caesar Tacos and Lemon Dill Chicken and Potatoes. Cozy soups, no-fuss casseroles, one-pot meals, and simple sweets worth saving room for.
I’ve designed eight weeks of meal plans, prep-ahead tips, and time-saving strategies woven throughout, so you spend less time wondering what’s for dinner and more time at the table where it matters most.
Whether you plan everything on Sunday or figure it out at five o’clock, Fraiche and Simple meets you exactly where you are. I can’t wait for you to dig in!
Our Favourite Cookbook Authors Weighed In
Already a Staple in Our House
“As a mom of two, I’m no stranger to that ‘what’s for dinner’ anxiety – and Tori is brilliant at balancing nutrition with the food that kids actually want to eat. Her pancakes are already a staple in our house! With recipes for every eater, Fraiche and Simple takes the guesswork out of feeding the family and feeling good about what you’re eating.“
Desiree Nielsen, RD, Bestselling Author of Plant Magic
It Runs in The Family
“Growing up as cousins (but more like sisters) so many of my happiest childhood memories include Tori and I cooking together and enjoying family meals. As a busy mom of two, answering the ‘what’s for dinner’ question can feel like a lot, which is why I love how Tori makes meal planning feel simpler, more manageable, and balanced with nutrition at the forefront. So many of these recipes from Fraiche and Simple are already favourites in our household!“
Jillian Harris, Cousin, BFF, & Bestselling Cookbook Author
The Cookbook That Changes Everything
“Tori is one of a kind – and so is this book. Fraiche and Simple is the kind of book that changes how people feel about their kitchens, and that’s no small thing.”
Jason Skrobar, Bestselling Cookbook Author
A Breath of Fresh Air
“This book feels like such a breath of fresh air. Tori’s approach to cooking is so much more than just recipes – it’s about slowing down, creating connection, and showing love through food. As moms with big families, we especially appreciated how warm, intentional, and genuinely helpful this book feels for real life. Fraiche and Simple is the kind of cookbook you’ll cook from again and again, dog-earing pages and writing ‘family favourite’ across so many of the recipes.”
Jenna Hutchinson & Ashley Kosowan, Co-founders of Jenna Rae Cakes & Bestselling Cookbook Authors
Hello, I’m Tori!
Food has always been my love language.
Growing up in the kitchen and garden alongside my sweet cousin Jillian, my mom, and granny, I learned early that cooking is one of life’s greatest pleasures – and that sitting down to eat with the people you love is the very best way to connect.
Some of my most treasured childhood memories live in those moments – picking fresh carrots to eat straight out of my mom’s garden as a kid or watching my granny make bread from scratch.
My granny taught me that food is love, and it’s shaped everything I have created in my career – from my two cookbooks to my life-changing meal planning tool Fraîche Table, and now Fraiche and Simple, the most personal cookbook I’ve ever written.

With so much gratitude,
Tori
