What inspired you to write your book?
Some years ago, I started making up recipes to fit the health needs of specific family and friends. After moving to Hawaii, I started systematically altering dishes of my own, my mother’s family recipes that she handed me down, and of others to include higher nutrient density, to be lower on the glycemic index, and to be pH balanced. My family and friends seemed to really love these dishes and began asking me for my recipes. I have never cooked strictly by a recipe and did not have my original recipes nor my altered recipes written down. So, I spent two years watching myself cooking and recording my recipes. It seemed easier to just put them all in a little book and I am so glad that I did because now I can use it too!
About your Book:
There are over 50 original recipes in this book and all are very delicious and healthy foods–many entire meals. The recipes included are from my personal collection that I have created over a 40-year span of time and that I have refined over the years to be healthy versions for the gut and heart, reflecting modern knowledge about excellent nutrition and well-being.
Best of all in this book, you will be given cooking tips throughout that will help you become a skilled and creative cook with gut and heart health in mind. Once you have learned these 50+ recipes, you will have not only a great daily diet, but also the ability to make up your own variations of a large selection of types of dishes and alter any recipe you find on the internet or otherwise into a healthy but very tasty version of your own that will serve your own dietary needs. “Mom’s Island Bakens” is not only a recipe book, but also a course in how to cook and to alter recipes to your health specifications. Reading this book will demonstrate to you, for instance, how to take an old family recipe of your own mother’s and make changes to it that render it healthier—and yet satisfy your yearning for the comfort of her cooking. Furthermore, many of those delicious looking recipes you come across while surfing the web can also be altered to a healthy version for heart and gut and some of those have been included in this book as well.
