The Self-Care Cookbook: Easy Healing Plant-Based Recipes by Gemma Ogston

5.0

Healthy, beautiful recipes peppered with simple self-care tips. I savored this cookbook from cover to cover and that, in and of itself, felt like an act of self-care. I visualized myself making the recipes and imagined what it would taste like and feel like to include these healthier foods and practices in my life. I was charmed that a “glug” is a unit of measurement used, as in a glug of olive oil; that you “blitz” things in the blender; and that 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons showed up in several recipes. Gem has a cute and quirky style as well as a wealth of knowledge surrounding the benefits of eating certain foods. Now all I have to do is incorporate all this into my life…and take a trip to Brighton to check out Gem’s Wholesome Kitchen.
