Mila's Meals - Barnhoorn, Catherine

. .

Résumé :
The fully revised second edition of Catherine Barnhoorn's multiple award-winning book, featuring more than 100 whole-food, nutrient-dense, gut-friendly recipes. All the recipes are entirely gluten-free, dairy-free AND refined sugar-free. Catherine has been very clever in creating nutrient-dense, allergen-free versions of children's favourite foods like chicken nuggets, ice-cream and fish fingers! Mila's Meals, The Beginnings and The Basics is part cookbook, part whole-food nutrition encyclopaedia covering The Beginning of your child's lifelong relationship with food and The Basics of feeding yourself and your family food that is medicine. Beginning with her own health journey and motherhood story, Catherine leads the reader through her experiences and sets us up with a course of action: first and foremost, be aware of what you are eating. It includes extensive information on every aspect of nutrition: food additives, GMO's, allergies, and food intolerances and much more. The research and information is complemented by easy-to-reference, concise charts such as the the different food groups, what nutrients are needed and which foods to find them in, lists of nutrient-enhancers to sneak into any meal, a detailed appendix of food additives to avoid and why, and so much more. With the research covered, the book then provides a great resource of delicious and nutritious recipes all accompanied by mouth-watering pictures. Including snacks, main course meals, party food, desserts and pantry staples and fermented foods. All the kid's favourites have been made nutrient-dense - such as chicken nuggets, pancakes and ice-cream. The ingredient glossary (for all 156 ingredients used in the book) is succinct, very thorough and useful. This is a must study, must enjoy, healthy eating alternative not only for feeding children, but also for feeding ourselves as adults....
