Trust Your Gut: Anti-Inflammatory Recipes for Feeling Unstoppable by Jennifer FisherFrom Jennifer Fisher, the cult-favourite jewelry designer and creator of Jennifer Fisher Kitchen, a must-have cookbook with 100 recipes designed to maximize your energy, stay clear-headed, and look hot at any age

Since being diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease in high school and learning how to listen to her body as an adult, Jennifer Fisher has completely transformed her life through what she consumes. She now has more energy. Her body feels more efficient, and it’s easier to think—and move.

Through her journey, Fisher found that it wasn’t just eliminating one thing or following one diet, as she had tried so many times before, but practicing all of these things in tandem.

She has made it her mission to demystify how to live healthfully—it’s not by following a diet but instead discovering a holistic approach to changing your life through food. Fisher knows firsthand how daunting it is to live with chronic illness, and Trust Your Gut offers quick and easy recipes that are simple but always deliver on flavor.

The book is filled with recipes that include easy swaps to fit anybody’s dietary needs as well as ideas for how to eat out while still understanding what your body needs. Trust Your Gut is a cookbook designed for anyone wanting to eat healthily but not compromise on taste. (more…)

Cioppino

The word “cioppino” comes from the Ligurian language’s “ciuppin,” which is the name of a classic seafood soup from the Italian region of Liguria. Flavoured with garlic, herbs, and a tomato-wine sauce, it was similar in flavor to today’s American version of cioppino but with less tomato. Italian-Americans who fished off of Meiggs’ Wharf in San Francisco in the late 1800s are credited with developing present- day cioppino. Legend has it that when a fisherman came back empty-handed, he walked around the wharf asking the other more fortunate fishermen to “chip in, chip in” and share some of their catch. Cioppino is a combination of fish, shrimp, and shellfish with fresh tomatoes in a wine sauce.
