The Sacred Cookbook

Discover the healing power of food using over 100 ancient recipes and ingredients adapted for the modern world, from the author of The Sacred Science.

Satisfy your tastebuds, appetite, and soul with this inspiring collection of easy-to-make, flavorful recipes. Nick Polizzi grew up in a restaurant and has spent much of his life traveling the world, studying traditional healing foods from Northern Africa all the way to remote regions of the Amazon rainforest. In their home kitchen, Nick and his wife, Michelle, have translated this hard-earned culinary wisdom into everyday meals meant for sharing.

Every recipe meets three fundamental criteria: 1) it has ingredients that can be traced back at least 500 years, 2) it has well-documented health benefits, and 3) it's absolutely delicious. Accessible and easy-to-follow, this cookbook focuses on:

Soups and stews
Medicinal spices and sauces
Fermented superfoods
Dried and cured snacks
Nutrient-dense proteins
Savory mushroom dishes
Greens, petals, and grasses
Forgotten ancient grains
Enzyme-rich breads

Appealing to a broad palate, this full-color cookbook provides tips and substitutions for adjusting to different needs, including gluten-free and vegan diets.
