Books of Interest: Whole New You and Stirring Up Fun with Food

I love watching "Tia Mowry at Home" it's one show that I make sure not to miss. The food always looks so good and easy to make and ever since the show first premiered in 2015 on the Cooking Channel, I always wondered why Tia didn't have a cookbook? I guess I don't have to wonder any longer because her new cookbook Whole New You will be available in March. Can't wait to read this.

But that's not the only cookbook I will be buying, Sarah Michelle Gellar will be releasing Stirring Up Fun with Food in April. The book will focus on making food a little more fun which is something kids would really like. I believe her food company Foodstirs is also focused on making food creative as well. I think it's pretty cool that both Sarah and her husband Freddie Prinze, Jr. will both have published cookbooks.


Book: Whole New You: How Real Food Transforms Your Life, for a Healthier, More Gorgeous You by Tia Mowry

Publication: March 14, 2017

Description:

From the star of the Cooking Channel’s Tia Mowry at Home comes a timely clean-eating cookbook that will change the way you think about what you eat and jump-start your journey to a healthier, more gorgeous you.

When actress Tia Mowry landed her breakthrough role on the sitcom Sister, Sister, she swapped home-cooked meals for catering spreads. But her teen-dream diet of candies and carbs turned into a nightmare when she developed endometriosis, a painful disease that affects one in ten women worldwide.

Two years and two surgeries later, some surprising advice from her doctor inspired Tia to radically change one of the most basic elements of her life: her diet. After ditching the dairy and the refined sugars and processed foods, Tia’s pain receded drastically. What’s more, her migraines stopped, her skin cleared up, and she was finally able to get pregnant. Drawing on the latest research on whole plant foods, inflammation, and gut flora, Whole New You chronicles Tia’s journey to wellness and provides all the resources you need to feel better, including

• A ten-day menu plan to begin your healthy life
• More than 100 delicious recipes
• Lighter versions of your favorite comfort food recipes, including “Buttermilk” Fried Chicken and Crispy Collard Chips
• Healthy recipes for your kids
• Tips and tricks for eating on the go
• Complementary approaches, such as acupuncture and yoga, for whole body healing

Like a trusted friend, Tia recounts both her setbacks and her triumphs—and shows you how to listen to what your body is telling you. With Whole New You, your healing begins now.

So Sarah and co-author Gia Russo came up with more than 100 fun food-crafting ideas that take basic food preparation to a surprising new level.
