The Ultimate Grain-Free Cookbook: Sugar-Free, Starch-Free, Whole Food Recipes from My California Country Kitchen

by Annabelle Lee

Overview

Aspire to be healthier, feel vivacious, look good, and become happier with Annabelle Lee’s 130 recipes and “simple gal” advice.

America is sick, confused, and addicted to fake foods, but there’s nothing fake in author Annabelle Lee’s kitchen. She goes beyond paleo and gluten-free and shows you how to live a quick, easy, and delicious real food lifestyle with recipes that combine fat-burning and nutritious ingredients to create both sweet and savory dishes, while maintaining traditional tastes and textures. Recipes include:
 

• Broccoli Gnocchi with Cheesy Pumpkin Sauce
• Bacon & Eggplant Carbonara
• Veggie Wraps
• Old-Fashioned Pie Crust & Pastry Dough
• German Chocolate Cake

When Lee began experiencing painful, auto-immune symptoms and a little pudge in her belly, she embarked on a path that led to discovering how to make incredible breads, wraps, comfort foods, and desserts unlike any others with ingredients such as nuts, coconut, sweet potato, zucchini, and various other fruits and vegetables as well as alternative, whole food flours.

Filled with beautiful, vibrant photos, this book is also full of healthy and readily available ingredients, and kitchen time is simplified by her creative, everyday use of a blender!

About the Author

Annabelle Lee worked as a fashion model for more than fifteen years with the Elite and Ford agencies. While raising her four boys, she spent a lot of time in the kitchen of the little farmhouse she and her family built on five acres in the Southern California countryside. When time rewarded her with a few wrinkles, extra pounds, and a diagnosis of auto-immune arthritis and lupus, she became committed to learning about health, disease, and aging, and discovered how simply eating real food could change her life.
