Plant-Based Magic: 120 Seasonal Recipes for Healing Body and Soul - Lisanna Wallance

\nCooking is magic: the transformation of simple ingredients into culinary spells with the power to nourish our bodies, nurture our souls, and gather us around the table. In Plant-Based Magic, clinical herbalist and chef Lisanna Wallance shows how to create your own everyday magic by harnessing the natural healing properties of plants in recipes that are as delicious as they are potent.\n \nEach of the 120 seasonal, nutrient-packed recipes is designed to support the body's natural processes--from a citrus and sugar snap pea salad that promotes glowing skin to cognition-supporting roasted eggplant to bone-strengthening seared mushrooms and beets. And because they're grounded in the principles of herbalism, there's real science to support all of these magical effects. The vitamins C and B3 in the citrus salad are crucial for evening skin tone and repairing damage; antioxidants found in eggplants protect nerve cells; and the calcium and vitamin D in mushrooms and beets work together to build strong bones.\n \nEvery recipe is vegan and gluten-free, with helpful icons for those that are also free of nuts and added sugar.\n \nInside, you'll find\n \n- Seasonal mains : Adaptogenic Stuffed Zucchini for Stress, Maple-Roasted Roots for Immunity, Crispy Kohlrabi Steaks for Detox \n- Simple sides: Squash and Asparagus Sauté for Energy, Parsnip, Leek, and Orange Soup for Serenity, Honeydew-Basil Salad for Hydration \n- Healthy desserts: Strawberry-Lemon Squares for Euphoria, Ginger-Lychee Slushy for Digestion, Rosemary-Clementine Cake for Cognition \n- Potent potions : TranquiliTea for Deep Sleep, Balancing Chia Lemonade for Satiety, Flower Vinaigrette for Radiant Skin \n Plant-Based Magic gives every meal a touch of enchantment.\n
