Publishers Text

People in the early stages of alcoholism recovery often find themselves lacking vital nutrients, and it is crucial to their future health to address this issue in a healthy way. Liz Scott, a trained chef and recovering alcoholic, tackles it head on in a cookbook that pursues lifelong sobriety through building a healthy lifestyle around food.

Her approach is built on three phases of recovery. First, she deals with immediate issues such as dehydration, vitamin replenishment, and food cravings and compulsions with chapters on soups, beverages, and healthy snacks. Then, when the alcoholic has gotten beyond the acute symptoms of recovery, Scott focuses on developing healthy eating patterns and improving one's diet through sensible cooking with chapters on simple entrees and salads. Last, for lifelong maintenance, Scott expands on healthy eating, as well as addressing holiday cooking and entertaining and learning to cook without alcohol. The Sober Kitchen is an all-in-one nutritional, culinary, and lifestyle companion for the recovering alcoholic.
