Cut the Sugar Cookbook Recipe Teaser

Hello again my friends…

As you can imagine, I can’t wait until my cookbook comes out in January! I have been putting so much work into it for months and now it’s that waiting game which is really making me anxious… it’s like watching paint dry. Ok, way better, but still… I can’t wait to share all my hard work with the world! So in all this excitement, I created this little teaser that shares a few recipes from the book. Hope you enjoy…. :)

Cut the Sugar, You’re Sweet Enough is a practical, real-life approach to reducing sugar the healthy way so you don’t feel deprived. This is not a sugar-detox book but an inspiring cookbook and guide to change your relationship with the foods you love and address your cravings properly.

As you know, if you follow my blog, food has changed my life when I decided to try and heal from a devastating illness after my first daughter was born 7 years ago. I changed my whole relationship with food and haven’t looked back. It’s amazing how delicious and exciting eating healthy could be – and that also means ditching sugar goodbye (but not entirely!) :)

Cut the Sugar includes over 100 delicious and easy recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and yes, even dessert! The recipes are all gluten-free but suggest spelt flour where applicable. The recipes are also plant-based and vegan with the exception of honey used in a few recipes. (I regard honey as a healthy sweetener). The cookbook also offers lots of grain-free and paleo recipes. 

When I created the recipes for this book, everything had to be delicious and made with the best ingredients. I wanted to keep a great variation of flavours to suit any palette and craving. And I wanted some quick basic recipes that are my go-to’s but also some amazing indulgent recipes – all this while placing nutrition and nourishment on top. Yes, it’s all possible to create healthy and indulgent delicious recipes!  

And Cut the Sugar, focuses of course, on low-sugar and reduced sugar recipes that are completely free of refined sugar. However, my approach is to cut the sugar, not quit sugar entirely! I put great emphasis on quality and quantity of healthier sugars and combine sweeteners with zero calorie natural sugar substitutes! 

With emphasis on real, nutrient-dense whole foods—all presented deliciously and beautifully (all photographed by me :)), and written in an encouraging, upbeat, grounded voice—Cut the Sugar is an inspirational and accessible guide to the sweet life… because you’re sweet enough already!
