Eating for healing honors the needs of the body and takes into account food cravings. If you crave salty foods, turn to items like fish and nuts; sweet try adding more baked fruit; sour add a bit of vinegar to your soup; spicy try warming spices; bitter try escarole or endive.
We prefer soups for the winter time but change it up as you wish. Just keep it warm so the digestive system doesn’t have to work so hard. Follow our plan or substitute meals based on your food cravings and by all means eat your leftovers! Vegetarians are encouraged to substitute recipes.

- Include bread, pasta or crackers, if so desired.
- Coffee and wine are fine too.
