Pure Food by Kurt Beecher Dammeier, Paper over Board | Indigo Chapters

2017 Gourmand Award Winner of "US National Cookbook of the Year"You are what you eat. And what you’re eating isn’t good. With the proliferation of artificial additives, hormones, antibiotics, and the thousand other man-made substances and chemical cocktails lurking in our grocery bags, eating healthy, natural foods is trickier than ever. It’s no coincidence that America’s health is flagging, with obesity and type 2 diabetes now at epidemic levels. Taking control of your diet doesn’t have to be a challenge. Pure Foodwill show you how easy#151;and how much healthier#151;it is to cook clean, delicious foods. Kurt Beecher Dammeier, chef, restaurateur, food entrepreneur, retailer, and educator has spent the past 30 years of his life working to rid his own diet of food additives, and nearly 20 creating and selling pure, unadulterated foods through his Seattle-based family of food businesses (including Beecher’s Handmade Cheese, Pasta & Co, and Bennett’s Restaurant). In Pure Food, Kurt shares his own story, as well as providing a roadmap for readers to forge a diet based on pure, additive-free foods. Part handbook and part cookbook, Pure Foodcontains more than 70 delicious and natural recipes for pure living. Unlike most cookbooks, Pure Food’s recipes are organized in threads#151;which start with a primary meal component like chicken, and progress through a series of dishes that use the primary ingredient in different ways#151;to help you get the most from your cooking.
