This is a new edition of Herald Press's all-time best-selling cookbook, helping thousands of families establish a climate of joy and concern for others at mealtime. The late author's introductory chapters have been edited and revised for today's cooks. Statistics and nutritional information have been updated to reflect current American and Canadian eating habits, health issues, and diet guidelines. The new U.S. food chart "My Plate" was slipped in at the last minute and placed alongside Canada's Food Guide. But the message has changed little from the one that Doris Janzen Longacre promoted in 1976, when the first edition of this cookbook was released. In many ways she was ahead of her time in advocating for people to eat more whole grains and more vegetables and fruits, with less meat, saturated fat, and sugars. This book is part of the World Community Cookbook series that is published in cooperation with Mennonite Central Committee, a worldwide ministry of relief, development, and peace. "Mennonites are widely recognized as good cooks. But Mennonites are also a people who care about the world’s hungry."—Doris Janzen Longacre

With the publication of The Raw Food Detox Diet, Natalia Rose popularized the concept of “detox dieting.” Her principles for cleansing and revitalizing the body by emphasizing living foods and proper food combinations caught the attention of Doris Choi, personal chef and caterer to New York’s cognoscenti—and inspired a whole new culinary approach. Rose and Choi teamed up to create The Rose Program Culinary Institute and Detox Delivers, an innovative cooking school and food delivery service for clients nationwide. Now, with The Fresh Energy Cookbook, they unveil more than 150 of Chef Doris’s most coveted recipes, ideal for dieters and home cooks of all stripes. Lovingly compiled and gorgeously photographed, it covers essential kitchenware, prep skills, pantry items—and recipes for everything from juices and smoothies to warm savory salads, satisfying entrees, and guiltless desserts—all delicious and stunningly simple to prepare. Contrary to popular opinion, true detoxing is not about drinking lemon water and starving oneself for weeks at a time; it’s about eating whole, fresh, high-vibration foods as nature intended us to, every day. While this cookbook features many vegan and raw dishes, it offers a range of amazingly healthy recipes, some of which include goat cheese, fish, and gently cooked starches and vegetables. Among the mouthwatering salads, soups, appetizers, entrees, and desserts are: Daikon Summer Rolls with Tomato Yuzu Dip Amalfi Salad Cauliflower Pizza with Matbucha Sauce Quick Ratatouille Fennel-Stuffed Salmon Butternut Squash Fries Chocolate Banana Ice Cream Lemon and Yuzu Granita

Holistic nutritionist and highly-regarded blogger Sarah Britton presents a refreshing, straight-forward approach to balancing mind, body, and spirit through a diet made up of whole foods. Sarah Britton's approach to plant-based cuisine is about satisfaction--foods that satiate on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level. Based on her knowledge of nutrition and her love of cooking, Sarah Britton crafts recipes made from organic vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, lentils, nuts, and seeds. She explains how a diet based on whole foods allows the body to regulate itself, eliminating the need to count calories. My New Roots draws on the enormous appeal of Sarah Britton's blog, which strikes the perfect balance between healthy and delicious food. She is a "whole food lover," a cook who makes simple accessible plant-based meals that are a pleasure to eat and a joy to make. This book takes its cues from the rhythms of the earth, showcasing 100 seasonal recipes. Sarah simmers thinly sliced celery root until it mimics pasta for Butternut Squash Lasagna, and whips up easy raw chocolate to make homemade chocolate-nut butter candy cups. Her recipes are not about sacrifice, deprivation, or labels--they are about enjoying delicious food that's also good for you.

It's not often that gluten-free, grain-free and allergen-free food is delicious enough to sneak past a gluten-loving, All-American eater. But in He Won't Know It's Paleo, Bre'anna Emmitt takes you right into her kitchen where she prepared only paleo autoimmune protocol meals for six months before she finally came clean with her husband, Chris. In that time, she noticed drastic improvement in her two autoimmune diseases and began her popular blog, He Won't Know It's Paleo. Each recipe in this book was created with love, shared with sneakiness, and enjoyed with gusto. Her guideline to publishing is always this: If a recipe doesn't meet her non-paleo husband's approval, it doesn't get published. Following the Paleo Autoimmune Protocol does not have to mean compromising great taste. Bre'anna's hope is that these recipes become your new family favorites - ones that not only improve your health, but that bring good food and great joy around your dinner table. Praise for He Won't Know It's Paleo "Proper nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management are the foundations of well-being. But what do we do when the foods we eat make us sick? Where do we look for answers? And what do we do when traditional medicine fails us? Bre'anna Emmitt is a brave soul who took matters into her own hands to find help for herself. What she discovered is the healing power of food." - Simone Norris, MD "He Won't Know It's Paleo" is one of the most creative Autoimmune Protocol cookbooks I've seen yet! Bre'anna has adapted all your familiar favorites to elimination diet-friendly versions. The recipes and mouth-watering photography cover everything from apple pie to enchiladas. Tricking her hubby into making a dietary transition is what inspired Bre'anna's inventive creations and with her help, you can keep the secret from your family too. Shhh!" -Angie Alt, author of "The Alternative Autoimmune Cookbook" "Bre'anna Emmitt is the Paul Deen of the AIP community, providing the comfort food we love, with one big difference: these recipes are good for our health." Eileen Laird, author of the popular AIP blog "Phoenix Helix"

Our children are overfed and undernourished. Even if they are not living on pizza and ice cream, they may be eating foods that can have serious long-term effects on their health. An ever-growing body of research is revealing that the major diseases Americans suffer and die from are lifestyle related and to an extent preventable in that some of the root causes begin in childhood. Many cases of childhood imbalances, such as obesity, hyperactivity, dental problems, and learning disabilities can be aggravated by poor eating habits. Shelly Null has written a comprehensive guide to feeding children better, from the crib to young adulthood, without sacrificing flavor or fun, in Healthy Cooking for Kids: Building Blocks for a Lifetime of Good Nutrition.
