About this title

From the Inside Flap

Ready to reduce how much sugar is in your diet and take back your health? Summer Rayne Oakes gives us a no-nonsense, easy-to-follow cookbook and guide that not only arms you with knowledge about how your mind and body are affected when you eat sugar, but also suggests ways to change your behavior, and successfully conquer your cravings. Oakes makes giving up sugar easy, highlighting her tried-and-tested 10-step guide, showing us how to stock our pantry, and simply making cooking enjoyable!

At the heart of this book are 10 Meal Maps and more than a hundred mouth-watering recipes. The Meal Maps show how ingredients can be used for multiple dishes in order to maximize each ingredient, minimize waste, and save money. Basically each Meal Map contains its own shopping list, recipe list, and meal plan, with an aim to simplify cooking to its basic (and delicious) essentials.

But there's no economizing when it comes to flavor. Enjoy a salad that pairs the sweet, buttery taste and firm yet creamy texture of butternut squash with the bitter, crisp bite of Lacinato kale; the goodness of a poached egg balanced with the crisp, late spring flavors of asparagus, peas, and zucchini; luscious baked halibut atop naturally sweet marinated red bell peppers; and a soup that blends warming spices like ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper with kabocha squash, sweet potato, and red bell pepper.

Celebrate the joy of eating well!
