Food is a powerful form of medicine, and cooking is magic: the everyday alchemy that transforms simple ingredients into meals to nourish your body, nurture your soul, and bring your loved ones together around the table.

In Plant Based Magic, clinical herbalist Lisanna Wallance draws on her knowledge of herbal medicine and modern nutrition to offer more than 100 entirely plant based, gluten free, seasonal recipes designed to support energy, digestion, immune function and more.

Because she believes that magic doesn’t have to be a mystery, every recipe shares the science behind its revitalizing effects. From a citrus and sugar snap pea salad rich in vitamins C and B3 to promote glowing skin, to roasted eggplant packed with brain supporting antioxidants, these recipes combine nourishing ingredients with practical nutritional insight.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Seasonal mains: Adaptogenic Stuffed Zucchini for Stress; White Bean Soup for Digestion; Crispy Kohlrabi Steaks for Detox
• Simple sides and lighter bites: Maple-Roasted Roots for Immunity; Parsnip, Leek, and Orange Soup for Serenity; Honeydew-Basil Salad for Hydration
• Healthy desserts: Strawberry-Lemon Squares for Euphoria; Rosemary-Clementine Cake for Cognition
• Potent “potions”: TranquiliTea for Deep Sleep; Balancing Chia Lemonade for Satiety; Flower Vinaigrette for Radiant Skin

This is a book for anyone ready to take their wellness seriously without sacrificing pleasure. Plant Based Magic encourages you to turn every meal into a wholesome, joyful and even magical act of self care. (more…)
