SynopsisCome Home to Your Kitchen I want you to close your eyes as you hold this book in your hands and understand that it is yours to create magic, to reinvent yourself in the kitchen in ways you never thought possible. It doesn't matter if you weren't raised in a home with skilled cooks or entrenched in healthy food traditions as I was. It doesn't matter if you have no culinary experience at all. I am sharing my kitchen, my mami's kitchen, my grandma's bare-bones, gadget-free kitchen that produced the healthiest, most mouthwatering meals. This book you are holding-full of recipes, knowledge, life stories, and tips I share with my own family and clients-is an extension of who I am. I hope it helps and brings you joy, too. --from the Introduction, This recipe book teaches you how to feed yourself and your loved ones in the most loving way possible to promote long-term wellness, with 100 nutrient-dense and beautifully photographed dishes from a beloved nutritionist, home chef, and "spirit nourisher" (Luvvie Ajayi Jones, New York Times bestselling author). When Agatha Achindu came to the US from Cameroon, West Africa for university, she didn't know what to make of the aisles and aisles of canned foods in the grocery store. She started making meals with fresh ingredients for her roommate and after her first community dinner for her fellow students, word spread. Fast-forward thirty years: What started as small dinners and workshops teaching moms how to make nutritious meals blossomed into a career dedicated to helping families eat flavorful, nutrientdense foods that can help prevent chronic disease and other food-related health concerns. No matter what Agatha does, her dishes are always based on one fundamental principle she learned from her mami: You are what you eat. Agatha has been on an unrelenting mission to make families and communities healthier, to live a life that is bursting with vibrant energy, age gracefully and in good health. It is never too late to start eating food that will nourish our body, mind and soul. Bountiful Cooking celebrates these matrilineal culinary philosophies with recipes packed with life-giving nutrients. Not only are these recipes healthy, but with global flavors, they also serve as cultural nutrition for the whole family. Agatha's recipes will make you fall in love with food, and recognize that it is a sacred source of life--and feeding is the highest expression of love., This recipe book teaches you how to feed yourself and your loved ones in the most loving way possible to promote long-term wellness, with 100 nutrient-dense and beautifully photographed dishes from a beloved nutritionist, home chef, and "spirit nourisher" (Luvvie Ajayi Jones, New York Times bestselling author).
