"At first glance this book may look like your typical cookbook (if you consider quinoa typical). I assure you it is not. What makes this cookbook unique? It was written by a very creative,
Plant-Based Chef
turned "
Food and Medical Intuitive"
. How creative? Intuitive Chef Gail Blair has been lovingly labeled,
The plant-based chef for "Meat-Lovers" and "Vegetable Haters
". Her recipes surprise and amaze even the most skeptical, die-hard meat and potato lover; including me. The bonus of her "intuitive gift" is a gift that keeps on giving. If you think "healthy" means suffering through tasteless, cardboard box meals, you are in for a big treat! There is a divine reason Gail was a master chef before her "gifts" kicked in. No-one wants to suffer on the road to health. As a client, I can attest with Gail you don't have to." -

Why is Quinoa the star of this cookbook?
It is a complete protein (like meat and dairy) making it a vegan's best friend. AND, it is easily digested, low glycemic, nutrient dense, and alkaline to neutral in pH. It cooks in as little as 15 minutes and freezes perfectly. It also happens to be super versatile! Having very little flavor on its own, it's like a painter's blank canvas just waiting to be painted. So that's what I've done! Created Quinoa Art!
As you cook your way through this little book, enjoying every blissful bite, you will be learning how to create balance in the body. As in all of life and nature, balance is crucial to flourishing health.
You will find enclosed a surprisingly delicious collection of traditional casseroles, side dishes and desserts; along with some very creative, natural ways to enjoy full-flavor food without punishing the taste buds. Many recipes are re-vamped holiday traditions. Each one has been test-driven by the most discerning foodies across the U.S.
My Motto - "The taste buds don't care if the food is plant, animal or healthy, as long as it's delicious!"
Most of the recipes in this little book are simple and designed for families to cook and enjoy together. Some a little more challenging, but easy to follow. Who doesn't like a fun, delicious challenge? Many are all-in-one meals. I knew you wanted to hear that! All of them are
gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian friendly
. And, most of them freeze very well; so even the single person or small family can enjoy the luxury of having something healthful and delicious every day!
You may be ready for change, but just a little worried the change won't taste good. You may have bought the idea that healthy cannot possibly be "taste bud" worthy. This is a myth and just not true; as many of my clients, friends and family can attest!
You may have gotten out of the habit of giving your food and your body the attention and love they deserve. When we love, honor and respect our body it loves us back with good health. And, love makes everything taste better! A lot of love went into creating every recipe. Each creation celebrates food - glorious food! And, the miracle of it to bless our bodies with health!
