Description

A nutritious diet is key to both the prevention and management of chronic illness, but to make us feel wonderful, it must also taste wonderful-and a meal shared with family and friends is even better. Grounded in this perspective, The Long Table Cookbookmakes the transition to a health-optimizing plant-based diet simple and satisfying, featuring over seventy-five recipes along with the latest evidence-based nutritional advice, meal planning suggestions and tips for hosting community gatherings. Chef Amy Symington and The Long Table Cookbook team have put a gourmet spin on healthy ingredients with recipes that are made to share. Readers won't be able to resist flavourful dishes like Watermelon, Mint, Tofu Feta & Arugula Salad, Caramelized Fennel, Sweet Potato & Pine Nut Cheese Pizza and Strawberry & Hazelnut Streusel Cake with Maple Vanilla Glaze. And while the recipes are satisfying and simple to prepare, they are also crafted to offer a balanced, nutrient-rich menu of whole foods. Whether cooking for four or twenty-four people, the vibrant recipes and beautiful photographs in The Long Table Cookbook will inspire readers to come together to enjoy their best health.

Reviews

Chef Amy Symington demonstrates perfectly that eating nutritiously is not about eliminating the dishes we love, but adapting them with subtle changes, using healthy fresh local ingredients ... The theme and core of this cookbook resonate with me, the idea of taking the time to eat and share homemade nutritious meals with friends and family is something I believe in. This guide reinforces and teaches us all that the simple act of sharing and breaking bread together not only improves the family bond but can create significant benefits to your health.
