Cultivating Joy in the Kitchen: Plant Forward Recipes and Soulful Nourishment

"Despite the trendiness of cooking shows, few people actually cook their own meals. What's the disconnect? In her years of working with various clients, author and chef Cathy Vogt has recognized several obstacles that keep people from getting started. This guide will empower you to make peace with the kitchen and bravely embark on your own cooking adventure to a healthier and more holistic life. Cultivating Joy in the Kitchen begins by addressing the very real challenges of today's busy lifestyle, illustrating them with personal stories and teaching you how to change your thought patterns and food habits through simple practices. Next is the cooking section, complete with gluten-free and soy-free vegan recipes, which also includes a pantry guide and kitchen essentials checklist. Another bonus is the pairing guide, which helps you combine recipes to create coordinated meals and suggests how you can incorporate dairy and other protein sources to accommodate people with different diets. Why watch someone else cook when you can create your own kitchen masterpiece? Have fun and eat healthy by learning how to cultivate your own nutritious culinary skills." -- Amazon.com
