"Maggie gave me the idea that food is something to be enjoyed, a truly spiritual part of my life!" --Carol Showalter Food can be one of the greatest blessings in life, and good food makes a life rich with what matters most. Take a journey with renowned nutritionist Maggie Davis, and discover how to change your relationship with food--and, in the process, transform your relationships with others.

From the bountiful Garden of Eden to the Banquet Table we call heaven, and all of the miracles of Jesus with food: Everything in our lives--including food and eating--should be more enjoyable, sacred. Maggie's book is designed to help you find simple ways to prepare, eat, and share good food for your whole life, one day at a time. Good Food for Life is more than menus and recipes to plan your daily intake at a particular calorie level. It is an entirely fresh approach to your relationship with food, from selecting and preparing to eating, sharing and presentation. With this innovative approach, you will look at food, your table, and yourself, differently!

Simple Food for the Good Life

Author: Helen Nearing
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 9781890132293
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 328

Book Description
Fifty years before the phrase "simple living" became fashionable, Helen and Scott Nearing were living their celebrated "Good Life" on homesteads first in Vermont, then in Maine. All the way to their ninth decades, the Nearings grew their own food, built their own buildings, and fought an eloquent combat against the silliness of America's infatuation with consumer goods and refined foods. They also wrote or co-wrote more than thirty books, many of which are now being brought back into print by the Good Life Center and Chelsea Green. Simple Food for the Good Life is a jovial collection of "quips, quotes, and one-of-a-kind recipes meant to amuse and intrigue all of those who find themselves in the kitchen, willingly or otherwise." Recipes such as Horse Chow, Scott's Emulsion, Crusty Carrot Croakers, Raw Beet Borscht, Creamy Blueberry Soup, and Super Salad for a Crowd should improve the mood as well as whet the appetite of any guest. Here is an antidote for the whole foods enthusiast who is "fed up" with the anxieties and drudgeries of preparing fancy meals with stylish, expensive, hard-to-find ingredients. This celebration of salads, leftovers, raw foods, and homegrown fruits and vegetables takes the straightest imaginable route from their stem or vine to your table. "The funniest, crankiest, most ambivalent cookbook you'll ever read," said Food & Wine magazine. "This is more than a mere cookbook," said Health Science magazine: "It belongs to the category of classics, destined to be remembered through the ages." Among Helen Nearing's numerous books is Chelsea Green's Loving and Leaving the Good Life, a memoir of her fifty-year marriage to Scott Nearing and the story of Scott's deliberate death at the age of one hundred. Helen and Scott Nearing's final homestead in Harborside, Maine, has been established in perpetuity as an educational progam under the name of The Good Life Center.
