Chef and health coach Jennifer Iserloh shows how cooking like an alchemist provides a way to integrate healing practices into your everyday routine.

(For example, most of us know that cooking tomatoes boosts the fruits' heart-healing lycopene, but did you know that pairing turmeric with black pepper helps the body get the most from its anti-inflammatory compounds?) Each chapter also shares simple home remedies, natural body treatments, and powerful rituals for wellness in body and soul.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Yoga teacher Iserloh (Fifty Shades of Kale) gives readers plenty of healthful tips and 100 recipes in this pleasing vegetarian cookbook. Each chapter focuses on a specific concept, such as promoting digestion, strengthening the immune system, and calming the mind. Iserloh's tips involve various practices intended to achieve good health, as well as complementary recipes (be sure to stay hydrated, for example, when eating activated charcoal-infused cookies to aid in detox). Readers will find recipes like vanilla cinnamon sorbet (for kidney health), turmeric buffalo cauliflower (for the heart), roasted buttered Brazil nuts (for thyroid health), and roasted carrot apple soup with nutmeg (for "calming the mind") to be surefire hits. Most recipes are easily sourced and come together with a minimum of fuss. Iserloh also includes instructions for making nonfood items such as essential facial oils, aloe vera ice cubes (to soothe sunburns), and a minty coconut oil toothpaste. Whether readers follow Iserloh's tutelage to the letter or opt for a cafeteria approach, there's plenty to keep them busy in this thoughtful collection.
