Inspired Plant-Based Parties

I love adapting my traditional family recipes into plant-based inspired elegant fare. I will show you how to do this by offering plant-based party themes and recipes. Food can bring family and friends together. Every meal can be a time for you to showcase exciting plant- based appetizers, entrees and desserts. Food can also be used as medicine to create good health. My recipes will help you incorporate “power foods”, in other words, plant based options into traditional meals. I offer ancient food wisdom and recent food research in many of the recipes. Everyone loves desserts, including me. However, I want them to be plant-based, sugar free, salt free, very low fat and gluten free (my niece has Celiac’s disease). I also want them to be delicious versions of my grandmother’s, mom’s and sisters homemade treats: carrot cake, cookies, tiramisu, etc. So I offer adapted dessert recipes. This book can also be used as a guide for teaching plant-based cooking classes. One appetizer, one entrée, one dessert, one class at a time. This is more than a plant-based cookbook. It contains classes and information for nurturing your soul and spirit for health and happiness. You will learn how to accomplish your goals. I am a trained acupressure therapist. As such, I will share with you healing miracles I have learned in thirty years of applied therapy. These lessons teach shortcuts to emotional maturity, which in turn leads to getting along with others. Awareness is our best tool for our own healing and good health. To prevent illness and live a quality, happy life, be aware of what you are eating. Be aware of how much exercise you get via gardening, stretching, yoga, walking, etc. Make wise food choices. Spend your time and money on buying fruit and vegetables, instead of ingredients which could make you ill. The latest research and many doctors advise we must follow a plant-based lifestyle to be well. It may even slow aging and help with weight loss.
