Have you noticed that as you moved from childhood through the teenage years and into adulthood your food tastes changed? How what used to work for you foodтАУwise as a 30тАУsomething, no longer works for you as you near retirement? That you can't eat the same dishes as your friend and feel good? That your energy levels are lacking or your digestion is just not the same?
Like the calendar year, the body has its seasons and no one understands this better than Martyna Angell, author of the bestselling book The Wholesome Cook and the popular and awardтАУwinning blog of the same name. In her new book The Wholesome Cook: Recipes for Life's Seasons, Martyna focuses on bioтАУindividualism тАУ the recognition that we are all a little different тАУ and offers 180 endlessly flexible recipes that can be adapted to support your individual health and wellтАУbeing, no matter your age or stage of life.
All recipes emphasise seasonal wholefoods and the strong focus on fresh fruit and vegetables will inspire you to prepare them in new and exciting ways every meal time. All recipes are refined sugarтАУfree and can easily be made glutenтАУfree (perfect for coeliacs). Many cater to dairyтАУfree, nutтАУfree, eggтАУfree, lactoseтАУfree, paleo, vegan and vegetarian diets. Every recipe is also tagged to show you the healthiest options for babies, children, teenagers, and men and women at various stages of life, so you know how to best nourish your body through the different seasons in life. These recipes offer delicious options that allow you to tune in to your body's needs quickly and effortlessly, making this book perfect for singles, families and people of older age, too. Twenty of Martyna's friends from the wellness world offer their favourite healthy recipes in this book as well.
