Every once in a while we stumble upon an amazing new cookbook that just gets what we're living for; powerful plant-based eating, functional ingredients — and perfectly dreamy photography. Our latest crush -- whose gorgeous cover will be proudly showcased on our shelves for the foreseeable future -- is Radiant: The Cookbook by Portuguese chef and nutritionist, Mafalda Pinto Leite.
We added Radiant: The Cookbook to our January shop just after its launch and readers picked it up by the armload. Behind that coffee table-worthy cover lies a world of plant-based eating that’ll inpsire you and nourish you on levels you may never have experienced.
Radiant illuminates the healing properties of edible plants and herbs and shows us how to use them as fuel for all the things we're working towards daily: to boost brain power and energy, balance hormones, improve digestion, even out our moods and get our skin glowing.
While Radiant is mainly a cookbook, it’s also an encyclopedic guide to discovering the magic of whole foods. If you’ve been looking for a guide to all things plant-based, but don’t know where to start, Radiant will teach you how to begin and help you find the kinds of recipes you’ll stick with for life.
Mafalda has made food's role in beauty and holistic health her life’s work for the last fifteen years. She's worked in food arenas around the world -- including Jamie Oliver's first restaurant, has published six cookbooks and has her own line of transformational foods, Puro Sumo, that is as every bit gorgeous as you might assume.
Mafalda believes that food can be healing medicine and a beauty regimen all in one -- she created her new cookbook to show us how.
Radiant breaks down into three parts:
Part one... explains how nutrient-rich ingredients can transform health and beauty.
Part two... breaks down the best fruits, veggies, spices and adaptogens, the nutritional benefits for each and what they're best used for.
Part three... is full of the healthy, light and absolutely beautiful recipes you’ll need to put them into play!
If you’re not the ‘diet’ type, but want to learn how to incorporate the most powerful plants you can into your diet for health and beauty, Mafalda’s guide will take you through education, sourcing and shopping, all the way to fork and plate.
The idea of a life filled with functional lattes and avocado-drenched salad dressing is what all this wellness stuff is about — its a thrill, not a chore to eat well. Grab a copy of Radiant and take a deep-dive into Mafalda’s beautifully holistic “inside out” approach to well-being. Here’s a spot-on recipe for spring to get you started...
