Wholesome bowls - food for mind, body and soul, is all about healing your relationship with food. Food is not the enemy and neither is your body. Taking the time to get to know your body, treating it with respect and nourishing it with real fresh food is the single most important thing you can do for yourself. Eating mindfully, cutting out processed foods and embracing the foods that fuel you and leave you feeling energised are all part of the journey to finding happiness with food. The nearly 90 recipes included in this book are packed with nourishment, providing healthy, balanced and easy meals in a bowl. Many of the recipes are vegan or vegetarian, or can easily be adapted to suit either lifestyle choice. But there is plenty for the meat-eater too.

After the success of her first book, Whole – Bowl Food for Balance, which shares the journey of moving away from fad dieting and healing our relationship with food through mindful eating, Melissa Delport decided to dive deeper into health and look at why we make the food choices we do. 

Heal – begin with food aims to share information on how to eat healthier, support the body’s various systems, heal ailments, and live a life of energy and abundance through beautiful whole food cooking.
