  Description EAT BEAUTIFUL: Grain-free, Sugar-free and Loving It is a cookbook for feasting, even while on a healing or refined-sugar-free diet. With GAPS, Paleo, AIP, Anti-candida and Weston A. Price diets as inspiration, this cookbook is about enjoying the beauty of whole foods, not feeling deprived. After all, local fruit grown in season, fair trade cocoa, raw honey, pure maple syrup, sprouted nuts~ these are beautiful foods! Serving up a new grain-free baking technique as well as encouragement, Megan loves baked goods and other treats that round out the healing qualities of bone broth soup and fermented foods.
