MY HEALTHY COOKING is the first cookbook by Michelin-starred and Gault Millau toque winning chef Johanna Maier that incorporates the experience and expertise she has gained from her studies in traditional European medicine.

Maier’s latest book is much more than just another cookery book: it is the first standard work on healthy cuisine by the »best female chef in the world«, inspired by her desire to spread traditional knowledge of the benefits of medicinal herbs and spices.

In the first part of the book, Maier gives a comprehensive introduction to the use of regional and seasonal produce, sharing her passion for herbs and spices. She is determined to show that cooking for ourselves more often is worthwhile, to remind ourselves of knowledge that has been passed down to us, and to eat around the table with family and friends – as we always used to. Because food tastes best when it is eaten together.

The recipes in the second part of the book, as always in Maier’s books, are a choice selection drawn from her copious experience and knowledge. For her, it is important that the healthy recipes can be cooked every day, as well as being full of flavour, wholesome and enjoyable.

»I wrote this book with the aim of reawakening the desire to cook and enjoy, and a curiosity for authentic ingredients.«
