The Gut-Loving Cookbook by Alana & Lisa McFarlane

Hardcover

A follow-up to The Gut Stuff, this is an accessible cookbook that offers how-tos so you can add fermented food seamlessly into your daily diet for a healthy, happy gut. All recipes have been carefully constructed to include the top three most important elements for a healthy digestive system: variety, fiber, and ferments. An accessible, easy-to-follow cookbook that has all the recipes needed for a healthy, happy gut.

The microbes in our gut are exceptionally clever, helping to control blood sugar, produce vitamins, and manage cholesterol and hormonal balance, preventing us from getting infections, controlling the calories we absorb and store, communicating with the nervous system and brain, and much more. The food we eat (and how we eat it) can have a huge impact on the number and type of microbes living in the gut and how it physically works.

Three important markers are variety, fiber, and ferments, each covered in detail in this book. Chapters cover meals, drinks, and snacks, as well as fermenting and pickling how tos and a multitude of tips to help make our food, drink, and eating habits more gut-friendly. The recipes are designed with flexibility in mind: expect abundant salads and familiar home comforts packed with flavor and nutrition.
