Whole Foods Market has long been synonymous with high-quality and
healthy ingredients. Now, John Mackey, CEO and co-founder of Whole Foods
Market, has teamed up with nutritional experts and leading chefs to
create a cookbook inspired by these values. They know that cooking food
yourself is the secret to changing your diet and sustaining a new
lifestyle, and are sharing their favorite recipes that celebrate
nutrient-rich, health-promoting whole plant foods.
The Whole Foods Cookbook philosophy starts with the basic tenet that
the most important dietary change you can make is to eat more fruits and
vegetables. To help you navigate the nebulous world of healthy eating,
the authors have written a clear and friendly introductory summary of
the Whole Foods Diet's principles, the essential 8 foods to eat, tips on
setting up a stress-free kitchen, and more. You'll also find specific
guides on cooking beans and grains, building flavors, and impressive
techniques like sautéing without oil and roasting to add layers of
flavor. But most tantalizing are their 120 recipes covering breakfast,
smoothies, entrees, pastas, pizzas, healthy desserts, and more.
The ultimate goal of The Whole Foods Cookbook is to change your habits
around eating and preparing food. In the midst of our busy lives, the
last thing most of us need is an overly complicated diet. Get the basics
right, learn to cook a few meals you love, and eat plenty of them. Once
you become accustomed to the whole foods, plant-based lifestyle, you'll
quickly gain the confidence to create your own delicious variations.
