For the millions of people who struggle to maintain a clean and sober lifestyle free from alcohol and drug dependence, practical and informative literature on cooking and eating in recovery is virtually unavailable—until now. Containing vital information on basic nutrition, current addiction science, and realistic, down-to-earth advice, as well as more than 300 recipes, professional chef and recovering alcoholic Liz Scott serves up this ground-breaking cookbook to encourage and enhance a recovered lifestyle.
In Phase 1, immediate issues such as nutritional replenishment and common cravings are tackled head on with chapters on beverages, snacks, soups, and simply prepared meals.
In Phase 2, when acute symptoms have waned, the focus is on creating comfort at the table and healing emotions and relationships through the power of food, with recipes for leisurely breakfasts, comfort-food entrées and sides, and delectable desserts.
In Phase 3, the focus is on the lifelong development of healthy eating with chapters on salads, vegetarian alternatives, and food as preventative medicine, and concludes in celebratory fashion with delicious remakes of traditional alcohol-laden dishes.
Throughout, Scott provides the advice, support, and research the recovering alcoholic needs to stay on the path to sobriety, making The Sober Kitchen a comprehensive nutritional and culinary lifestyle companion for the recovering alcoholic and those who cook and care about them.
