Rachel Riggs was a specialty food shop owner when her life was upended by chronic illness. Suddenly, she could no longer tolerate any of the foods she’d built a career and life around, requiring her to figure out unfussy dishes with short ingredient lists that were easy to prepare.

In her debut cookbook, Riggs shares a personal collection of recipes that celebrate vibrant, healthful eating while being inclusive of many complex dietary needs. In Good Health was developed to empower those with compromised immune systems, chronic illnesses, and food sensitivities with a repertoire of easy-to-prepare, nutrient-dense cuisine that is as delicious as it is nourishing.

Riggs expertly eliminates common triggers like gluten, grains, dairy, nightshades, soy, legumes, shellfish, refined sugar, and peanuts while embracing seasonal produce and SoCal sensibilities.
