from KRIS

For my Grandma (Abuelita) Aura. Thank you for inspiring me to use food as medicine. You helped me turn my kitchen into a loving sanctuary and a powerful pharmacy. This gorgeous and delicious (your two favorite words) book is dedicated to you.

from CHAD

To my dear Nana, who passed on while I was writing this book. You were the original superwoman, the rock of the family, my inspiration, and my greatest teacher in the kitchen. Your recipes and love will forever be engraved on my heart.

TABLE of CONTENTS

Recipe pairings for every occasion

Youre invited to a marvelous soire, a wellness revolution, to be exact. And the sooner you RSVP the better because wide-sweeping change is happening in every home, from Tallahassee to Timbuktu. More people than ever before are embracing the transformative power of a plant-based diet. And it isnt just hippies in hemp and patchouli or Prius-driving latte-guzzlers. From truckers to the First Lady, professional athletes to soccer moms, veg-centered consciousness is skyrocketing.

Some people flock to plant-empowered living for better health; others for spiritual beliefs, animal welfare, respect for the environment, or, best of all, because it tastes great. The simple, fresh flavors in plant-based meals create layers of taste, while the smells intoxicate and satisfy our senses. This food has style and rhythm, texture and glamour.

Plant-strong cuisine is taking the culinary world by storm, igniting the Internet, and permeating the media and pop culture. I am extremely proud to be a voice in an ever-growing movement that will change the course of our health-care system, and thus, our history.
