A Whole New Clean

Katzie Guy-Hamilton is a wellness guru who's been through all the extremes of nutrition; she trained as pastry chef in Wolfgang Puck's restaurant and was global ambassador for Max Brenner, which sent her around the world and into a tailspin of unhealthy eating and habits. So she swung in the opposite direction, all-green all the time, which she found too restrictive . . . and so here she is now, balanced in the middle and on the top of her game. Drawing from her vast experiences in kitchens all over the world, she now offers over 100 vegetarian, fuss-free recipes that encourage a holistic, nourishing approach to everyday nutrition--and a new way to eat, and live, "clean."

The method is simple: develop a repertoire of go-to mains, from whole-foods basics (Luxury Granola, Charred Broccoli), innovative variations (Poached and Crispy Miso Sweet Potatoes), and savory pantry staples (Thai Dressing and Harissa); it's a foundation of satiating meals that can be tailored to fit any craving and minimal prep-time. Then, the incorporation of decadent, whole-ingredient desserts allows for a guilt-free indulgence, again comprising healthful takes on classic treats (Oatmeal and Tea Raisin cookies, Blueberry Muffins) alongside expertly crafted surprises (Pignoli Rice Pudding), all of which satisfy sweet teeth any time of day or night.

Finally, here is an honest, sustainable, and enjoyable guide to eating--and to having your Perfect Chocolate Cake and eating it, too.
