Clean Cuisine Cookbook

In their new book, The Clean Cuisine Cookbook, Ivy and Andy Larson deliver a revolutionary new approach to clean eating. Together they have created a cookbook that demystifies what it truly means to eat clean while offering a roadmap to lifelong health. The Clean Cuisine Cookbook does away with “dieting” and presents a nutritional template that has been scientifically proven to reduce inflammation, resulting in peak health for the mind and body.

Ivy and Andy’s template strikes the perfect balance of plant-based foods working in conjunction with healthy amounts of animal protein. This perfect harmony optimizes nutritional absorption, generating maximum anti-inflammatory benefits, weight loss, increased energy levels, and an overall sense of total health and well-being. Ivy’s journey to finding and perfecting clean eating started with her own personal battle against an incurable autoimmune disease. She wanted to live her life to the fullest and avoid an oversaturation of potentially dangerous medications—and then she turned to food as an alternative. Ivy mastered the art of cooking with all-natural whole-food ingredients, choosing only the most nutritionally dense foods that nature offers. Under the supervision of her husband, Andy, a physician and renowned surgeon, she found a path to wellness through clean eating and has remained active, healthy, and free of her crippling symptoms for more than 22 years.

The Clean Cuisine Cookbook delivers more than 150 mouthwatering remakes of family classics that are both nutritionally complete and supremely satisfying. With this cookbook, you will never feel deprived or hungry, making Ivy and Andy’s model both enjoyable and sustainable. Ivy also adds fruits, vegetables, and an array of superfoods to her recipes for increased sustenance and satiety. She and Andy believe that the key to clean-eating success is adding nutrient-dense foods, not subtracting foods to keep calorie counts low. Recipes include: • Meatballs • Chicken and Dumplings • Pancakes • Tostadas • Caesar Salad • Brownies! Whether you are an amateur home cook or a seasoned chef, The Clean Cuisine Cookbook is a must-have for anyone aspiring to eat clean, decrease inflammation, and discover true health.

Ivy Larson was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis at the age of twenty-two, which inspired her to radically overhaul her diet and lifestyle.

A foodie interested in clean eating long before it was popular, Ivy has worked for two decades to develop and perfect mouthwatering recipes that appeal to the whole family.
