Eating Purely: More Than 100 All-Natural, Organic, Gluten-Free Recipes for a Healthy Life

Description

Good health begins with what you put in your body. When you eat better, you feel better. It's that simple. A few short years ago, Elizabeth Stein could be found in her tiny Manhattan kitchen searching for a way to make gluten-free and vegan products that tasted great and weren't overly processed. Working with ingredients such as chia seeds, flax, hemp, and coconut sugar, Elizabeth successfully developed recipes that were all-natural, non-GMO, gluten-free, and diabetes friendly. These recipes helped her form Purely Elizabeth, an award-winning line of products that can be found in more than 1,500 stores. Eating Purely is a collection of Elizabeth's favorite recipes, which she has made for family, clients, and friends over the years. The recipes are healthy, easy, and delicious-and at times even indulgent. Eating Purely is focused on cooking with whole foods that are naturally gluten-free, nutrient rich, free of refined sugar, and mostly vegetable based. These recipes are centered on Stein's five Eating Purely Principles, which will leave you feeling healthy and purely radiant. These principles are: Eat Whole, Clean Foods Focus on Plants Add in Nutrient-Rich Ingredients Kick Inflammatory Foods to the Curb and Practice the 80/20 Rule. Eating Purely includes more than one hundred fun and approachable recipes, ranging from brunch and salads to vegetarian mains and seasonal menus to celebrate with family and friends. Throughout Eating Purely, Stein also shares personal stories on health, exercise, family, entertaining, and starting her own natural foods company. Interwoven throughout the book is what Stein calls "the purely scoop"-time-saving cooking tips, benefits of ingredients used, resources for buying foods, and food and wine pairings. Skyhorse Publishing, along with our Good Books and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of cookbooks, including books on juicing, grilling, baking, frying, home brewing and winemaking, slow cookers, and cast iron cooking. We've been successful with books on gluten-free cooking, vegetarian and vegan cooking, paleo, raw foods, and more. Our list includes French cooking, Swedish cooking, Austrian and German cooking, Cajun cooking, as well as books on jerky, canning and preserving, peanut butter, meatballs, oil and vinegar, bone broth, and more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.
