Featuring more than 100 family-friendly, crowd-pleasing recipes—including gluten free, grain free, paleo, vegan, and more—for everyone.

Preparing a meal is an act of love for yourself and the ones you share it with. In this stunning cookbook, Chay Wike, author of the home cooking and lifestyle blog The Kitchen Commune, offers a guide to reclaiming your health and nourishing your family and friends with easy, delicious, allergen-friendly recipes for all seasons.

With gorgeous photographs and brilliant swaps and tips, the recipes within are endlessly customizable and will inspire readers to:

Learn how to enliven a simple dish with vibrant sauces like Chay’s House Chimichurri, Chipotle Aioli, and Creamy Thai Pesto.
Start the morning with Fluffy Silver Dollar Pancakes; a Super Green Veg + Fruit Shake; or Beans, Greens + Broken Eggs.

Throughout, The Kitchen Commune celebrates the art of eating together. After all, food should be joyful for everyone—and now it can be.

About the Author

Chay Wike grew up in New York City. Her parents and grandparents are from Cape Town, South Africa, and from a young age she had the privilege of traveling overseas to visit family and was exposed to all kinds of cultures and eating styles. Her path to healing began after the birth of her second child, when she was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune conditions, digestive issues, and, eventually, Lyme disease. Following a string of doctor visits, confusion, and failed medication attempts, Chay decided to take matters into her own hands and reclaim her health naturally. She has since mostly recovered using the undeniable power of functional nutrition and lifestyle medicine. She attended cooking school in Los Angeles in 2009, created the food-focused wellness blog The Kitchen Commune in 2018, and became a certified integrative nutrition health coach in 2020. Today, Chay lives in the Pennsylvania countryside with her husband and their two teenage daughters.
