With many chronic illnesses being ascribed to poor dietary choices, it's time for a dietary shift toward nutrient-dense whole foods that promote health, rather than undermine it. In the first part OF THE HEALING KITCHEN, readers learn all about what foods to eat and why, based on an ancestral diet template with contemporary scientific underpinnings. This section is accompanied by tips and simple actions to help make the switch. THE HEALING KITCHEN features over 175 mouth-watering recipes that make eating healthful foods easy enough to fit even into the busiest of lives. Compliant with the Paleo autoimmune protocol, every meal is budget-conscious, requires a minimal time commitment, uses no special equipment and needs no hard-to-find ingredients - yet, the whole family will love it! THE HEALING KITCHEN is all about enjoying tasty food and nourishing the body. The recipes span the gamut from easy mains and simple sides to breakfast favourites and timeless treats. Even better, each recipe is labelled by cooking strategy - meals that need just one-pot, use 5 ingredients or less, take 20 minutes or less, can be made ahead, feature a slow cooker or are great on-the-go foods - for effortless planning! THE HEALING KITCHEN also includes 12 weekly meal plans, each with a shopping list, for easier organisation.
