About this title

About the Author:

·Jessica Emich is the first-born and she doesn't let anyone forget it. She likes to pave the way and sets her expectations high in all her endeavors. And ... she pulls it off. She graduated from University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) with a hotel & restaurant management degree as well as graduating from the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. She was the owner and Head Chef at Trilogy for its duration and has since gotten her Masters Degree in Holistic Nutrition as well as a certification in Metabolic Typing. She and Nelson Schwab are the masterminds behind the menu at Shine. She brings much expertise in the science behind her food preparation. It is her passion to nourish people in a way that makes them feel really good, and she is thrilled to be sharing her talents at Shine. Jessica is also a rockin' mom to her daughter Sofie and new addition Amelie. Jessica is married to Marek Skrovranek, a wonderful Czech man who is an amazing father and has been a big advocate for Shine in the way of design, and build out.
·Jill Emich, the middle sister of the trio. She is the co-owner/ manager of Shine and director of events, as well as the bar manager. She graduated from UNLV with a degree in hotel & restaurant management and also attended the California Culinary Academy in San Francisco. She was the owner, talent buyer and bar manager at Trilogy for its duration supporting local and national music and performance acts. Jill enjoys bringing fun and interesting music and programs to Shine that encourage people to dance, play, explore and dig deeper into their personal beings. She loves dance and movement herself and has a gift of staying positive (even in the most trying situations) and loves to connect with others. She also is Jennifer's sidekick in helping run the front of the house and is always eager to lend a helping hand (or her two cents) to the heart of the place, the kitchen.
·Jennifer Emich was the last-born, but definitely not least. She is a strong, energetic spirit. She also graduated from UNLV with a degree in Elementary Education, which has helped her work with all sorts of people (and their inner child). She says it like it is in a clear, yet loving way. She is a great listener and she is really good at keeping the Front of the House staff humming. Like she did at Trilogy, she is co-owner and manages the Front-of-the-House operations, and does the day-to-day books and accounting. Jennifer really enjoys connecting with the guests and getting to know what makes them smile (and coming back). She will most likely be the first person to greet you when you walk in the door. Jennifer is married to Eric “Eck” Cohen, a frenetic being from Connecticut with an enormous heart. He has been a powerful loving force in Jennifer's life throughout her journey in healing and strength. He has been instrumental in helping with the marketing and social media aspects of Shine.

Review:

I am so grateful for having met Jessica, Jill, and Jennifer at the very beginning of my journey, and I know you are going to love this book just as much as I do. May it bring you lots of joy, nourishment, and inspiration in the kitchen! (Rachel Brathen, Yoga Girl)

I've experienced the incredible deliciousness of the food at Shine Restaurant in Boulder. Now in Eat Drink Shine, the Emich sisters are sharing their recipes, and more importantly their passion, ideas, and stories. This book is full of inspiration, in the kitchen and beyond. (Sandor Ellix Katz, Fermentation Revivalist; author of The Art of Fermentation, Author of The Art of Fermentation and Wild Fermentation)

What makes the Shine cookbook even more enjoyable are the beautiful photos that accompany each entry. The dishes are bright and colorful, artfully arranged and photographed in casual lighting, inspiring the would-be cook to embrace the beauty of food and the wholesomeness and artistry of home cooking.Eat Drink Shine is meant to be a kitchen companion and it is just that. But it's also more than that because the Emich sisters are always close by through their stories and personal tidbits, which are included throughout the recipe section of the book. For that reason, Eat Drink Shine is an intimate companion, and one you should make a connection with soon. (Matt Cortina Boulder Weekly)

The Emich Triplets contribute so much to our community! They have co-created a way to bring people together, sharing healthful, delicious and sustainable food, and events that foster evolution with grace, fun and flair. (Brigitte Mars, author of The Country Almanac of Home Remedies)

The book reflects the food and philosophy of the restaurant and of the Blissful Sisters, as the Emiches call themselves. In short, that means a love of food and family, as well as a strongly held belief in the crucial role food plays in health and joy in living. (Cindy Sutter Daily Camera)

The 100 recipes here come from Shine's kitchen and are gluten-free and paleo-inspired. Now, sometimes you see those descriptions of a cookbook and you shy away, thinking that the book is for a special audience. No, this book has something for everyone. The sisters have studied nutrition and healthy cooking, and that background influences this book to be sure, but this still a very mainstream cookbook with ideas for all of us: with or without gluten, carnivore, vegetarian, or vegan. The recipe headers describe the health benefits of the particular ingredients and preparation steps. As you happily indulge, you will probably focus on flavor and texture. It's grand that the recipes are healthy but, in the moment, you'll just want that next forkful. This is a pretty book, telling a charming story, and filled with ideas to extend your “standard” recipe collection. (Brian O'Rourke Cooking by the Book)
