A New Way to Food

More than a cookbook, Maggie Battista's A New Way to Food is a love story about her learning to accept herself and, along the way, inspiring us to evaluate our own relationships with ourselves and our bodies. If I could change one thing about it, it would be the ability to go back in time and give my younger self a copy. -Julia Turshen, author of Now & Again, Feed the Resistance, and Small Victories Maggie tells her story in such an honest and approachable way, and the plant-based plan she offers is both do-able and delicious! This is the way I like to eat and she has so many great recipe ideas that I will be using. -Erin Gleeson, author of The Forest Feast Maggie Battista's A New Way to Food is more than a diverse collection of nutritious and beautiful recipes. It is an essential statement about empowerment through healthy self-care. With this cookbook/self-help hybrid, Maggie shows us more than A New Way to Food; she shows us the way to a better self. -Andie Mitchell, author of the New York Times bestselling memoir It Was Me All Along and Eating in the Middle A New Way to Food is filled with in-depth knowledge about realizing your beautiful authentic potential, reckoning with your past and loving yourself all while eating Maggie's incredibly delicious recipes along the way. This cookbook is filled with fresh, clean and delicious options for any season from Blueberry Plum Crisp Pie to Sweet Potato Gnocchi. Every woman who has struggled with their health should dive into these pages and prepare to be inspired by Maggie's journey and personal experience. I cannot recommend this cookbook enough. It will truly shift your perspective about what being healthy and beautiful really means inside and out. -Amie Valpone, best-selling author of Eating Clean: The 21-Day Plan to Detox, Fight Inflammation, and Reset Your Body We are taken by how Maggie, through health and weight struggles, has proved we are all capable of change. Her beautiful new book is a full take on how to create a positive relationship with food and we are certain it will inspire many on their own journeys. -David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl, authors of Green Kitchen Stories Detailing a revitalizing lifestyle change that advocates eating mindfully, [A New Way to Food] imparts gentle self-care tips that focus on letting go of setbacks and taking a wholesome approach to food. There's less motivational cheerleading than genuine, been-there-done-that compassion. Leaving room for differences, Battista says that there's no single way a journey should unfold. -Foreword Reviews I can't recommend this book enough. The words are honest and encouraging and the recipes are playful and approachable and exciting! -Joy the Baker The book is in tune with current thinking that everyone is different and previous notions of how people should look - how traditional models and celebrities look - aren't practical or realistic for most people. Happiness comes when you combine healthy eating with a healthy lifestyle and a healthy attitude about the body you've been given. -Boston Globe
