Nourishing Connections

Nourishing Connections offers over one hundred nutrient rich, delicious recipes as well as vital information about the link between what we eat and our health. Its pages are filled with a wealth of simple, practical suggestions about how to improve your diet. For those with limited energy, each recipe comes with suggestions for how to break down the preparation tasks into smaller steps over several days. More than simply a cookbook, it is the inspiring story of how a community gathered its resources to creatively address an array of needs. The book's publisher, The Ceres Community Project, brings a multitude of volunteers together, including teen chefs from more than eighteen local schools, to cook and deliver over 25,000 nourishing meals free each year to individuals and families living with life-threatening illness such as cancer. The book's recipes have been home tested by people living with serious illness and it also offers many suggestions for how to nourish yourself well with almost no cooking.
