Clinical herbalist Lisanna Wallance translates nutrition science and traditional herbal wisdom into 120 stunning, practical, and deeply restorative plant-based recipes “Both a healer’s guide to food and a reinterpretation of what makes a tasty meal. . . . Plant-Based Magic makes healthy eating a rapturous endeavor.”—Foreword

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Food is a powerful form of medicine, and cooking is magic: the everyday alchemy that transforms simple ingredients into meals to nourish your body, nurture your soul, and bring your loved ones together around the table.

In Plant-Based Magic, clinical herbalist Lisanna Wallance draws on her knowledge of herbal medicine and modern nutrition to offer more than 100 entirely plant-based, gluten-free, seasonal recipes designed to support energy, digestion, immune function, and more. And because she believes that magic doesn’t have to be a mystery, every recipe—from a citrus and sugar snap pea salad full of vitamins C and B3 to promote glowing skin, to a roasted eggplant packed with brain-supporting antioxidants—shares the science behind its revitalising effects.

Inside, you’ll find:

Seasonal mains: Adaptogenic Stuffed Zucchini for Stress; White Bean Soup for Digestion; Crispy Kohlrabi Steaks for Detox

Simple sides and lighter bites: Maple-Roasted Roots for Immunity; Parsnip, Leek, and Orange Soup for Serenity; Honeydew-Basil Salad for Hydration

Healthy desserts: Strawberry-Lemon Squares for Euphoria; Rosemary-Clementine Cake for Cognition

Potent “potions”: TranquiliTea for Deep Sleep; Balancing Chia Lemonade for Satiety; Flower Vinaigrette for Radiant Skin

This is a book for anyone who’s ready to take their wellness seriously, without sacrificing pleasure. Plant-Based Magic empowers you to turn every meal into a wholesome, joyful—and even magical—act of self-care.
