amazing, inspiring, question-asking,
solution-seeking students in Los Angeles,

Introduction

Cooking vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free is an optimal approach to healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle; it can be an entire way of life or a simple recipe you make because youre curious and want to see what it tastes like. Either way, foodthe kind we eat and how we prepare itis a daily practice that can support our foundation for personal potential and happiness.

Eating what you love to eat is crucial to enjoying life. And that opportunity to receive joy is in your hands up to five times a day: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and two snacks. It could be more or it could be less, but five feedings set the standard of balance for this cookbook. The health benefitsbe they physical, emotional, mental, or spiritualof those five joyful dietary doses follow us around the clock and into our sleeping hours.

My Story: It Started with the Hair

Im forty-six, originally from Boston, and now living in Los Angeles. From age thirtyfive to thirty-nine, I lost over a third of my hair. Practically balding, at the time I thought, This is my only good asset, I cant lose it!

But I was a sugar addict and compulsive overeater, and I was desperate to heal myself. After consulting with a healer, I committed to going sugar-free and gluten-free and transformed myself from head to toe. I kept true to my healthy lifestyle and created a book where I walk the talk. Every day.

My first cookbook, Sugar-free Gluten-free Baking and Desserts, is a nostalgic compilation of my entire life: everything Ive ever loved and craved. Growing up in a Sicilian family with a catering business in western New York, I had every meal made for me with love, cultural history, and lots of white flour, sugar, and animal products. Yet those meals are what I admire about my family and keep my connection with them. So I transformed those recipes from my great-grandmother, grandmother, and mom and made them the Kelly way. With those recipes, I ate what I loved, gave myself permission to be satisfied, and taught myself self-nurturing and self-healing by focusing on feeling the joy and complete and utter satisfaction my family taught me. It is my hope that you can do the same for yourself and your family now.

It is important to tell you that what I ate six years ago is not what I eat or crave today, as my body and taste buds keep transforming, becoming more aligned with a healthy lifestyle and ingredients for my recipes. Six years ago, I did eat all of the recipes in my previous book, and I enjoyed eating two or three sugar-free, gluten-free desserts a day! But slowly my tastes changed. It became two or three times a week, then several times month, and then I started adding superfoods to my morning smoothie and my raw chocolate recipes.

Now, I still crave my chocolates a few times a month, but what has changed is my craving for animal protein on a daily basis. As my healthy lifestyle and cooking continue to grow and evolve, I find myself having less animal and more vegetables. Luckily for me, I found a term at the Natural Gourmet Institute in New York City that describes my current food practice: flexitarian (more about that later). This means that I now eat mostly vegan and allow myself the occasional fish and eggs for protein when my body calls for it. The vegan, gluten-free, sugar-friendly recipes in this book are a compilation of the vegan dishes and desserts I have loved, craved, and created for over six years. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

So much has changed and expanded in the vegan, gluten-free world. And its exciting. When you know how to dress up vegan staples with healthy oils, spices, and veggies, you will elevate your taste buds to the top of the food chain, which is the main reason I wanted to write this book. My cooking style takes the best food-preparation and cooking techniques from many different disciplinesFrench, Japanese, Italian, Indian, Mediterranean, Mexican, macrobiotic, and raw live veganand re-creates them in a new gourmet style and taste by using alternative ingredients that are vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free. I have even created new techniques for making chocolates that score high points in the healthy-ingredients and taste-satisfaction departments. Deep down everyone wants to be told, Its okay to love food, especially the food you eat! And food should taste great and make you feel great! So, imagine eating your favorite food, chocolate, works for your body, not against it, and instead makes you radiant, glowing, and sexy. That is this cookbook!

So often, food is the enemy, so in this cookbook, you will discover how food is the foundation for your personal potential. Once you have found this alignment with your health, balance, and well-being, you will undoubtedly want to share it with your family and friends like I am sharing it with you!

Eating What You Love and Crave

Loving what you eat is the first step in fulfilling our natural desires for well-being.

It also gives comfort and joy when the taste buds are completely satisfied. Making healthy food with the nutrient-dense benefits of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber is what this cookbook is all about. If it tastes good, youll eat it!

Now when you add to this love food the significant culinary fact that it is made without processed high-glycemic white sugar, flour, trans fat, and too much salt, and instead is focused on vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-friendly recipes with extra superfood ingredients that enhance your health, you have a recipe for self-fulfillment, self-satisfaction, and personal success. Find recipes that appeal to you, make a shopping list, and plan a two-hour session in the kitchen. You will fall in love with yourself, and even a grumpy onion or two.

THREE PILLARS OF EATING VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, SUGAR-FREE FOR AN OPTIMUM HEALTHY LIFESTYLE

1. EAT WHAT YOU LOVE. This is crucial to enjoying life, but how do you figure out what your love foods are? Ask yourself what youre craving. For example, is the weather, season, or holiday making you feel nostalgic and begging you to relive your childhood favorite foods? If so, find a recipe in this book that matches your mood, like pizza, brownies, or pasta with Alfredo sauce.

2. EAT FOR YOUR HEALTH. Eating vegan, gluten-free, and sugar-free allows us to avoid the negative effects of processed food and animal products that can lead to food allergies, some of which show up as symptoms in the body because of a food intolerance. If you add toxic ingredients, such as prescription drugs, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar, to a diet low in plant-based foods, you will have a recipe for unbalanced health.

Symptoms of such an unbalanced diet can be:

POOR DIGESTION
INFLAMMATION OR PAIN
MOOD SWINGS
BRAIN FOG
INABILITY TO FOCUS AND MAKE DECISIONS
LOW ENERGY

A vegan, allergy-free diet can reverse the above symptoms with:

BETTER DIGESTION
INCREASED ASSIMILATION OF NUTRIENTS
INCREASED METABOLISM
EVEN MOODS AND EMOTIONS
ABILITY TO HANDLE STRESS
CLARITY OF FOCUS
INCREASED ENERGY
BETTER SLEEP

3. EAT PORTIONS THAT KEEP YOU RUNNING AND DONT SLOW YOU DOWN.
