One Meal for All

Our worldly issues have pushed us apart. Soon, we will again need to reconnect and what better way than over food.

One meal for all

A gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, intermittent fasting, vegan love to cookbook ‘is an all inclusive cookbook: Making meal time positive, focusing on food and meals we can eat together. This idea was created while preparing foods for family and friends. What can I make that they can all eat?

At the table, was my dairy free sister, my gluten free sister, a niece with a soy allergies, and some vegan friends. We were people with diverse food needs, enjoying the same delicious meal. One all inclusive cookbook,!

We ultimately want food that is easy to prepare and tastes great. Most of my recipes stem from my Italian lineage. As a nutritionist, I focus on quality ingredients. The cookbook format, is based on two meals per day consisting of 69 recipes: Brunch, Main dish, Sides (Soup, Salad and Vegetables) and Dessert.

My Initial target audience, was my students, the millennial generation. Through research, I discovered the mean age of vegans to be 42. While people of all ages follow some kind of a specific diet program. I then added in the Intermittent fasting regime, as this trend fits in perfectly. Future Projected tracking, shows the number of people on a “diet” to be on an increase for years to come. Diets are based on eating choices focusing on health and ethical concerns. This is the 2020 dining reality. This cookbook is unique as it addresses a multitude of these concerns.
