Eat and Be Well

Announcement: Eat and Be Well, a book of immunity-boosting recipes, is now live! This richly photographed E-Book was co-created by Magali Brecke, The Gutsy Chef and Liz Birnbaum, The Curated Feast during the first weeks of the COVID-19 shelter in place period, in California.

The book is available to download for free:

With so many of us cooking more meals at home, Magali (@thegutsychef) and I have decided to collaborate to new heights. We built upon our work for Curated Feast client @kitchenwitchbonebroth, and are beyond thrilled to share this labor of love with all of you.

I have always valued food for how it brings people together, its ability to communicate through an ephemeral art, and for being perhaps my favorite photographic subject — right up there with farms and trees. But Magali has coaxed me into my kitchen with a new kind of confidence. This project is everything I needed to make it through these past weeks. (For real.)

While my tastebuds can attest to the yumminess of these dishes, what gives this book even more life is Magali's unparalleled experience — the wisdom from her thousands of hours of in-home teaching and cooking. If you have any timidness around your cooking, this book will get you on track.

In the course of working on the book, we decided free was the only way to go. This is the time to GIVE, not ask for more. It feeds my spirit to imagine you all using these recipes in your own kitchens. I’m so proud to launch this E-Book today. I hope you’ll let us know what you think.
