The MaxLove Project Fierce Foods Kitchen Cookbook is:? ? ?? Evidence-Based? One of the major differentiators between our cookbook and other “anticancer” diet publications is that our book and Fierce Foods approach is founded in the latest in nutrition science. Our experts are trained in functional medicine for quality of life care, supporting patients & families in the cancer process and beyond. Our approach is grounded in cooking whole foods for anti-inflammatory nutrition and metabolic health.? ? ?? SuperKid Tested? One of the coolest things about the Fierce Foods Kitchen cookbook is that our recipes are rigorously SuperKid tested and approved! Most of the recipes featured in the book have been used at our Fierce Foods Academy culinary medicine classes. It’s very important to MLP to make our cookbook as accessible and kid-friendly as possible. Take it from our kids and families, our recipes are nutritious and delicious!? ? ?? Expert Culinary Medicine? Culinary medicine is the practice of using real food to restore health, reduce side effects of conventional treatments, and improve long-term quality of life. It’s what happens when a talented chef and an amazing dietitian get together to help us make delicious, nourishing food! The Fierce Foods Kitchen cookbook is the only expert-backed therapeutic culinary medicine book available for kids and families.? ? ?? Get yours today! ?? https://a.co/d/hITlUMu ? ???
