Cuisine for Whole Health

A Cookbook to Improve Health, Boost Energy,
Cultivate a Positive Outlook, and Save Money.

As a Bay Area and Wine Country chef and caterer for more than thirty years, Pauli Halstead served up stellar cuisine at many of California’s world-class wineries, at elegant country weddings, and for private clients. Now, in Cuisine for Whole Health, Halstead shares what she learned about nourishment along the way: that the foods our ancestors ate – wild-caught fish, grass-fed meats, pastured poultry and dairy products, and organic vegetables, nuts, seeds and berries – are still the best choices for optimizing physical and mental health. Cuisine for Whole Health presents a straightforward argument for a diet that is gluten-free, refined-free, chemical, antibiotic and hormone-free, and Halstead includes many simple and delicious recipes honed from her years as a world-class chef.
