Description:

From the creator of the bestselling app of the same name—the world’s first health, wellness, and lifestyle app, which has gained tremendous support from Apple (it will be loaded on all demonstration iPads in Apple stores the world over)—The Whole Pantry is a beautiful, four-color cookbook inspired by the author’s battle with terminal brain cancer, with eighty delicious, nourishing, mostly plant-based recipes.

Diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at the age of twenty, Belle Gibson found herself without support and out of sync with conventional medicine. So began a journey of self-education that resulted in her getting back to basics, as she healed herself through nutrition and lifestyle changes. The Whole Pantry goes beyond labels and trendy diets to find the source of true health in eighty delicious recipes that are mostly plant-based, entirely free of gluten, soy, corn, refined sugar, allergens, and additives, and full of superfoods, detoxifying fruits and veggies, healthy fats, and herbs and spices that promote healing. The book is 90 percent dairy-free, 80 percent vegan, 25 percent raw, and entirely paleo-friendly.

With more than 100 gorgeous full-color photographs, Belle guides you through transforming your diet, starting with stocking your pantry and making your own basics such as Paleo Bread, Nut Milk, and Coconut Cream. Then she shows how to start your day beautifully with Wild Rice and Rosewater, Strawberries, Pomegranate, and Hazelnuts, and Coconut Water Chia Puddings. Comforting mains include Roasted Parsnip Gnocchi with Wild Greens Pesto; raw Kelp Noodle Pad Thai; and Burgers made from the pulp of a Green Juice. Vegetables are the foundation of The Whole Pantry lifestyle, and Belle’s salads and snacks, from Thai Salad Wraps to Quinoa Sushi Rolls, pack your day with a rainbow of nutrients. And Belle is adamant that the healthy life does not mean giving up dessert, creating sweets that are free of refined sugar, often raw, and full of healing ingredients: Express Chocolate Mousse; Chocolate Nut-Butter Cups; Roasted Strawberry, Vanilla, and Rosewater Granita. With recipes, guides, and inspiration, The Whole Pantry is total support for sustainable wellness to heal from disease and live your fullest, healthiest life.
