Cooking and teaching are my two greatest joys in life. My passion is to encourage others to spend time in their kitchens, lovingly preparing fresh foods for family and friends. In this book, I share the knowledge I have gained through many years of travel and experience. Within this book, you will find information on food history, certain foods for specific conditions, preventive foods, food combining, food energetics, tastes, body types, what foods go well together, and what body systems are affected. I will teach you how to eat healthily, how to prepare quick and easy recipes, and how to prepare delicious sauces that add great variety to foods. Spices are also an important part of food preparation as they make food tantalizing and have a very positive effect on health. Most cultures have used spices for thousands of years, however, most households are not aware of their many health benefits which include enhanced digestion, elimination, skin, immunity, lymphatic drainage, physical and emotional balance, and bringing out the wonderful flavors of food and drink.
