Publisher's Synopsis
The AilamA(R) Cookbook is primarily a 365 culinary project, but also an emotional nutrition guide, a 28-day eating plan, and, last but not least, a very special English-learning textbook.
There are fifty-two weeks in a year. You can start this 365-day culinary journey at any time. Read the two recipes of each week and feel free to adjust them to your uniqueness (sometimes, there is only one recipe per week).You can even put the weeks and their corresponding recipes in a different order, if that's what you feel like doing. As an added bonus, this cookbook book also contains two special recipes, one for your skin, the other for your hair, to help you trust natural ingredients even more.
On the interactive pages You Matter!, you can write down your sincere answers to the questions related to the proposed recipes.
Make sure you take the most artistic pictures you can of the foods you have cooked following The AilamA(R) Recipes.
Since The AilamA(R) Cookbook is much more than a 365 culinary project, it can also help you to make peace with your emotional eating through an overt relation between The AilamA(R) Recipes and no less than seventy of your main feelings. As an added bonus, there is a table of contents for The AilamA(R) Emotional Cookbook and a list of your positive and negative emotions in alphabetical order, called The AilamA(R) Emotional Index.
There will be celebratory dishes, sealing your positive emotions, and comforting dishes, which will help you cope with loneliness, boredom, sadness, self-dislike, self-doubt, tiredness, nostalgia, guilt, or fear.
Whether you are a seasoned gourmand or you just enjoy culinary challenges, feel free to let The AilamA(R) Recipes inspire, heal, and regulate your emotional metabolism.
The AilamA(R) Nutrition Program is a 28-day meal plan based on The AilamA(R) Recipes. It respects the general nutrition guidelines you can find in any reliable specialty book, yet without asking you to focus on endless calculations of calories or on exact percentages of nutrients such as proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
Unless you are in desperate need of a dramatic dietary change on grounds of poor health, in which case you should consult a local professional, The AilamA(R) Nutrition Program can provide you with a different view on your eating routines. Because of the small quantities needed at each meal, this eating plan is perfect for the whole family so that you won't have to cook different dishes for others, but share the same meal with them, meat or no meat.
If your body responds well to The AilamA(R) Nutrition Program, you are free to prolong it indefinitely; or you can make any new combinations you want based on the dietary suggestions written before The AilamA(R) Recipes, or the answers to the dietary questions you will find right after The AilamA(R) Nutrition Program.
Meant as terrific digestive aids and trustworthy beauty keepers, The AilamA(R) Recipes could regulate your metabolism, enhance your health and wellness, and help you lose weight naturally while boosting your energy and fitness levels. They could also accompany, regulate, and/or enhance your everyday feelings, turning your emotional eating into a healthy habit. Curious to try them?
