Therapeutic Chef Cookbook

Therapeutic Chef – Book Cover (download)

As most of you know, Kristin recently self-published her 1st cookbook  “Therapeutic Chef:  Recipes to Prevent Cancer, Heart Disease and Diabetes.” – available via Amazon.  While the title may sound a bit intense, I assure you that this book is for everyone, regardless of whether you’re trying to prevent illness or not.  I have eaten the vast majority of these recipes and can say that beyond their therapeutic healthy value – they are all extremely tasty and satisfying – whether you’re a vegetarian or not.

I recently finished going through the book myself and thought that I should post a few of the pages that I think make this book so valuable.  I will also include a few recipes that are in the book that you can try out, as well as some pages and recipes names of other personal favorites.  Hope you enjoy!
