New York and the Pure Food Cookbook
Posted on October 23, 2014
I have to admit that I am in a bit of a state of shock. I am feeling very grateful and excited because I finally held the completed manuscript of my first book this week, the Pure Food Cookbook. I am so delighted to share this with our newsletter community first!
I had a wonderful trip to New York to share the first peek of the Pure Food Cookbook with editors from O, The Oprah Magazine, Women’s Health, Life & Style and many more. Even though the book will not be published until February, they are excited to feature recipes and ideas already!
In Pure Food, I’ve taken many of my favorites like Grandma’s Blueberry Buckle Coffeecake and replaced ingredients like wheat flour with gluten free brown rice flour, and butter with coconut oil, and cow’s milk with almond milk. I want to show my readers that we can still make our family favorites, but with better ingredients. I also encourage readers to experiment with diverse foods like amaranth for a hot cereal breakfast, and coconut flour to make indulgent gluten free coconut pancakes. There are many vegan recipes too, like when I remake my mom’s custard, vegan style!
I am passionate about getting people back in the kitchen and finding confidence there to create simple healthy meals and snacks, and that is what Pure Food is all about. If you are interested in learning more, you can read about the book and even preorder on Amazon.com at a very attractive price, around $13.00, a 33% discount!
