LOVERS “If there's a sexier sound on this planet than the person you're in love with cooing over the crepes you made for him, I don't know what it is.” – Julie Powell, "Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen"
INSPIRATION Taste: My Life Through Food by Stanley Tucci Love, love, love this book. The content is fun and informative. If you always knew "gravy" is not marinara … you’re in good company! Tucci shares pet peeves, secrets and delicious recipes all the while making you laugh as he brings you to his family's dinner table. You’ll feel like you’re reminiscing with an old friend. Grab a glass of wine, sit back and enjoy. Everything about this book is relatable and makes you want to cook … even if you usually don’t like to cook.

NTRODUCING … FOOD. WE KNOW you’ve met before, but we’re bringing some new inspiration, healing, travel, identity and reclamation to the table this time. Food is fuel, energy, pleasure and sometimes pain. It’s central to social gatherings, and sometimes it’s a solo treat stowed away at the back of the fridge … just for you. We eat it every day. All day. Or three times a day. Or maybe you’re doing the intermittent fasting thing … so it’s sometimes a thing for a smaller chunk of the day. We’d like to renew your relationship with food, so we’ve highlighted books by some of the most enthusiastic food lovers. Some will inspire you and reignite your passion for food. Others will dive deep for you to discover new ways to energize your meals and routines and, in turn, yourself. And all will be great additions to your culinary library. 26

HEALING Liver Rescue by Anthony William William leaves the gimmicks and trends behind. This textbook (with recipes in the back) is a whole new world of information your liver wants you to know. William is not a foodist; he won’t tell you not to eat meat or fruit or sugar. He will tell you which troublemaker foods are causing you problems, though, while delivering invaluable information about how the liver works and how to support it. Try this morning routine for a couple of weeks and see how you feel: Drink one glass of lemon water upon waking, eat all the fruits you wish (or oatmeal with blueberries), and wait to eat your radical fats (healthy oils, nuts and meats) until lunchtime. This simple shift will do wonders for your liver. If you’re looking to heal and understand that food choices contribute to your well-being, you’ll revisit this one often.
