the cookbook
Food is a powerful tool for connection, yet many health conditions can make it hard to share a meal with those we love. Creating a collection of dishes that omit so many ingredients is, paradoxically!, a recipe for inclusivity. My hope is to provide a resource that allows us to feed anyone who joins us at the table, with ease.
Each recipe is free of common allergens and inflammatory foods such as nightshades, (eggplant, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes) soy, grains, gluten, legumes, pork, shellfish, dairy, refined sugar, cashews and peanuts. I’d like to think you won’t notice their absence!
IN GOOD HEALTH will make creating nutrient-dense meals an enjoyable and sustainable endeavor. The unfussy recipes and short ingredients lists support those living with chronic illness or food allergies, while also accommodating those who dream of eating nutritious food but are stretched thin by life’s demands.
It will serve as a valuable roadmap, allowing us to succeed in taking control of our health through nutrition.
IN GOOD HEALTH: Uncomplicated, Allergen-Aware Recipes for a Nourished Life will be available for pre-sale January 2025.
“Rachel Riggs’ In Good Health is destined to become an essential resource for everyone who seeks vibrant, healthful food with thoughtful flavor combinations and a decidedly California vibe. ”
