About Cocina Holistica: Plant-Powered Recipes Inspired By
Product Description Winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards for 1st cookbook in the Latin American Vegetarian category. Cocina Holistica is a love letter to Guatemala. In her debut cookbook, Kassia Fiedor infuses ancestral ingredients into healing plant-based dishes. Filled with stunning photographs of Guatemala’s countryside and farms, she hopes to inspire renewed respect for indigenous foods in 40 creative, modern recipes. All are gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and dairy-free with a nutrient-dense focus. If you’re from Guatemala, you will feel a connection and familiarity because it is a celebration of the native foods there. But even if you’ve never been to this magical country you’ll be inspired by the delicious and healthy use of ancestral plants and be able to easily substitute for your own familiar veggies. Review "Part travel log, part nutritional handbook, part medicinal herbal, Cocina Holistica offers a splendid collection of unique, easy to make dishes. Focusing on the traditional foods of Guatemala, Kassia gives each of the recipes a modern twist with easy to find ingredients and simple step-by-step instructions. Each of the recipes in this scrumptiously illustrated cookbook focus on health and well being with an emphasis on nourishing ourselves deeply through the act of artful eating. Special gratitude is paid to each of the farms featured in the book, and a special honoring of the Guatemalan people and their cultural foods. As the author says in her opening remarks, 'This cookbook is a love letter to Guatemala'.... and a lovely love letter it is at that." -Rosemary Gladstar, Herbalist and author of Rosemary Gladstar's Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner's Guide "I knew I would love rifling through the gorgeous images in this cookbook and imagining myself beside Kassia, harvesting such magical foods. What I didn't know, is that I would find most of the recipes accessible and applicable to my day-to-day life! Cocina Holistica offers nutrient-dense, creative and simple versions of my favorite foods. Highly recommend to anyone looking to have fun in the kitchen, expanding their plant-based recipe repertoire and learn valuable information at the same time!" -Laura Lea Bryant, Holistic Chef and author of The Laura Lea Balanced Cookbook: 120+ Everyday Recipes for the Healthy Home Cook "Wow, Cocina Holistica is so beautiful!
