This recipe book teaches you how to feed yourself and your loved ones in the most loving way possible to promote long-term wellness, with 100 nutrient-dense and beautifully photographed dishes from a beloved nutritionist, home chef, and "spirit nourisher" (Luvvie Ajayi Jones, New York Times bestselling author).
When Agatha Achindu came to the US from Cameroon, West Africa for university, she didn’t know what to make of the aisles and aisles of canned foods in the grocery store. She started making meals with fresh ingredients for her roommate  and after her first community dinner for her fellow students, word spread. Fast-forward thirty years: What started as small dinners and workshops teaching moms how to make nutritious meals blossomed into a career dedicated to helping families eat flavorful, nutrient‑dense foods that can help prevent chronic disease and other food-related health concerns.
No matter what Agatha does, her dishes are always based on one fundamental principle she learned from her mami: You are what you eat. Agatha has been on an unrelenting mission to make families and communities healthier, to live a life that is bursting with vibrant energy, age gracefully and in good health. It is never too late to start eating food that will nourish our body, mind and soul.  
Bountiful Cooking celebrates these matrilineal culinary philosophies with recipes packed with life-giving nutrients. Not only are these recipes healthy, but with global flavors, they also serve as cultural nutrition for the whole family.  Agatha’s recipes will make you fall in love with food, and recognize that it is a sacred source of life—and feeding is the highest expression of love.

      Certified integrative nutritionist Achindu, who grew up on an organic farm in Cameroon and moved to the U.S. as an adult, discusses the problems of the Standard American Diet and its resulting health challenges. Her book contains a comprehensive list of vitamins, minerals, and foods, along with their wellness benefits, and a growing guide to help readers find and eat what is in season. There is also a helpful portion about picky eaters and strategies to expose kids to more variety. The recipes are divided into most of the usual sections: "Breakfast," "Snacks and Treats," "Mains," and "Sides," plus a part about beverages. What this book does exceptionally well is take classic U.S. fare and give it a nutritional boost by emphasizing fresh ingredients, making it heartier and healthier in the process. Sweet-potato whole-wheat waffles, tasty omelet "doughnuts," turmeric garlicky mayo, and beef and butternut squash chili are a few examples of some of the better-for-you recipes the author has created. VERDICT In her first cookbook, nutritionist Achindu, cofounder of Yummy Spoonfuls Organics, shows how little changes can add up to bountiful and healthy gains, all in a beautiful, fresh, and creative guide.--Whitney Bates-Gomez
