It also features the personal story of Chef, Lisa Roukin and her journey to developing a better relationship with food. Learn how, with some clever cooking knowledge and experimentation, she turned her life around after struggling with bad food habits for many years.
This isn't an ordinary cookbook. Yes, there are delicious recipes, gorgeous photos and clear instructions. But that's where the similarity ends. This book is personal. It's my story of how I've been able to manage my relationship with food.
I can hear you saying `relationship with food' what does that mean? But, think about it. Consider how often you've been sitting
at a table and someone announces `I don't eat meat', `I've just lost three stone get that fudge cake away - quick!', `I don't eat green vegetables' or admits that they weren't fed well as a child. These are all types of food relationships.
Now, think about a bad day at work and that desire to come home to a frozen triple- stuffed pizza and half-bottle of wine. Or remember being `treated' with an ice-cream cone or a sticky pudding after an insipid school dinner? Food in these cases has altered from sustenance to comfort, and the relationship with food has shifted.
But if - like many of us - your relationship with food is not healthy, you have to face that 'relationship' at least three times a day for the rest of your life.
Worse yet, you have to decide what to put on your plate and in your mouth. You may have trouble when going out to eat with family or friends. But you don't have to continue like this.
Here's where I'd like to come in and change things.
I've gone through some tough food relationships, and as you read on, I'll share with you tips on becoming healthy and nourished. My journey isn't that unusual, but it does have a happy ending.
After all, it is not all about `what' you are eating but how you can make small alterations to help your relationship with food become an enjoyable one.
Our journey starts here.
