Description

The extremely popular and adored Cafe Gratitude, with two locations in San Francisco and one in Berkeley, is known for its inspiring environment and distinctive and flavourful organic foods. Now, for the first time, co-founder Terces Engelhart presents her and her husband and partner Matthew's view of life, their business philosophy, and her personal healing path, sharing highlights of her recovery from a food addiction along with the values of an organic lifestyle. In "I Am Grateful: The Recipes and Lifestyle of Cafe Gratitude", gorgeous, full-color photographs accompany over sixty easy-to-follow recipes for the cafe's most popular items, making it easy for readers to prepare live foods at home. Recipes include cafe favourites for juices, smoothies (the I am Luscious raw chocolate smoothie), soups, appetizers, entrees (the I am Elated spicy rolled enchiladas), and desserts (the I am Amazing lemon meringue pie with macadamia nut crust).

Reviews

I spend a lot of time on the road and eat in a lot of restaurants, but every time I return to San Francisco I go to Caf Gratitude to recharge. Not just on the amazing food but also on the energy of the staff and the practice of abundance that Matthew and Terces bring to everything they do. They have affected my life in a profound way!
