KILLER COMBINATION OF TRENDS: As self-care, wellness, and mindfulness continue to climb into the food space as well as other lifestyle categories, as evidenced by NPD Bookscan and Google Trends, so too does the plant-based diet, whether for health, ethical, or enviornmental reasons. Now, mindfulness and food converge in a collection of 60 recipes that speak to both trends.
HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SELF-CARE: Tips and exercises for taking time for yourself, establishing balance in your daily routine, and recognizing what your body is craving are sprinkled throughout the recipes to reflect Gemma’s belief that practical acts of self-care are just as important for our mental and spiritual health as for our physical health.
CHARMING, GIFTY PACKAGE: With its modest trim size, the package makes The Self-Care Cookbook as practical in the kitchen as it is giftable. It is easy to imagine curling up with this cookbook-as-reflection-journal to read on one’s own, and the foil stamping on the cover’s title enhances the book’s keepsake quality for those who use the mini-essays and prompts on forms of self-care as a means of self-reflection.
