Flavor of Love

Food is vital to many aspects of our being: sense of belonging and comfort, physical health, mood and mental wellbeing, as well as alertness and productivity. In this book, we trace the influence of foods that we grew up with and explore the power of traditional recipes from our homeland, Fiji, through the first chapter, Flavors of Refuge. Next, in Flavors of Rebirth, we challenge tradition and explore how to transform what we eat for better health. We explore the fusion of flavors, colors, and cuisines in our third chapter, Flavors of Fusion. Lastly, we invite you to indulge in the sweet decadence of our refined-sugar-free desserts in Flavors of Persuasion. Each recipe contains variations that encourage you to experiment, develop your own instincts with cooking, and deepen your relationship with food. We use ingredients that are plant-based, organic, and gluten-free, offering myriad possibilities for wellness and longevity that feel good and tantalize your taste buds. This is our third inspired recipe book, after Food of Love and World of Love. We continue our principles of emulating nature, adapting recipes to changing dietary choices, being resource efficient, and most of all: having fun. If you're just starting out on a plant-based or gluten-free diet or in search of an effective approach to embracing wellness, you will find allies in this book and its predecessors.
