Mind, Body, Spirit, Food

Transform cooking into an act of self-care and gratitude with a culinary expert's recipes and advice for bringing mindfulness and intention into the kitchen. In this unique cookbook, Nicki Sizemore combines healthy recipes with simple rituals--like breathing deeply and noticing the sights and sounds of the kitchen--that will help home cooks become more present, calm, and connected to their food. Mind, Body, Spirit, Food contains 51 naturally gluten-free recipes that each include a mindfulness prompt, such as focus on the process and not the result as you bread the chicken or eggplant slices in Sheet Pan Parm, seek balance as you notice how sweet counter salty and spicy tempers richness in Miso Maple Glazed Vegetables, and feel grounded on the kitchen floor as you bite into the earthy beets of Roasted Beet Salad. ?

With Nicki's intention-setting tips and deeply satisfying whole food recipes, cooking and eating can be transformed from a necessity (or chore) to an act of self-care and deep gratitude, bringing freedom and joy into every meal in your day.
