A new approach to preparing whole food meals from scratch that are deeply nutritious, kid-friendly, and easy.

 

As the rate of chronic illness skyrock­ets, more and more parents are faced with the sobering reality of restrictive diets. And because everyone is busy, many fami­lies come to rely on store-bought "healthy" products to make life simpler, but many of these are loaded with sugar and hidden toxins. When faced with her own family's dietary needs, mother and health coach Leah Webb realized that in order to provide high-quality food for her family, nearly 100 % of their meals would need to be made from scratch. But when she looked for a resource to guide her, most cookbooks that offered recipes "free" of allergenic foods were also high in processed starches, flours, and sugar. Like so many parents, Webb was looking for a cookbook that offered deeply nutritious, kid-friendly, whole foods recipes that were also easy, but there wasn't one - so she wrote it herself.

 

The Grain-Free, Sugar-Free, Dairy-Free Family Cookbook offers a new way of preparing food and approaching the kitchen that gets kids involved in the cooking, and which encourages excitement around food (a major challenge with restrictive diets). The recipes are rich in healthy fats, nutri­ent-dense vegetables, ferments, and grass-fed meats, and include snacks, school lunches, and delicious sweet treats that rival the flavours of sugar-dense desserts. By following Leah's meal plans, parents will be sure to please and make cooking on a restrictive diet enjoyable and manageable. And any family wishing to eliminate grains, sug­ars, and dairy from their diet will find Webb's recipes, advice, and troubleshooting invaluable.
