Pescan : A Feel Good Cookbook
A Feel Good Cookbook
Abbie Cornish and Jacqueline King
Actress Abbie Cornish and chef Jacqueline King are best friends who bonded over their love of food and self-care. A few years ago, Abbie, a novice cook, asked Jacqueline, a graduate of the culinary program at the National Gourmet Institute, for cooking lessons. Every Sunday, they would take trips to the local farmers' market, spend all day cooking, and then serve these dishes to their family and friends. Pescan is an extension of this tradition and all the food they explored together. Their way of eating-which they call pescan-is centered on plant-based, dairy-free dishes, but with high-protein seafood and eggs incorporated. The recipes, like Veggie Tempeh Bolognese, Artichoke Hummus with Za'atar, and Miso-Ginger Glazed Black Cod, are highly nutrient dense, incredibly energizing, and very accessible. Pescan is a collection of healthy recipes, but it's also a story of friendship, healing, and developing a more positive relationship with food. "US actress Cornish and chef King are best friends who bonded over their love of food and self-care. This cookbook showcases a way a eating they called "pescan" – which is based on plant-based, dairy-free dishes, but also includes high-protein seafood and eggs.", The Bookseller "Pour yourself a glass of pinot grigio, put on some music, turn on the barbecue, and get ready to take a mini-holiday. Nothing tastes more like summertime at the Italian seaside than grilled fish in a fresh tomato, olive, and artichoke sauce with sweet basil sprinkled on top." Image
