Real Food Heals
Eat to Feel Younger and Stronger Every Day: A Cookbook
In the high-end food world, “healthy cooking” has long been taboo. But as one of the only high-profile chefs today guided by the understanding that the food we eat has a deep impact on our health, Seamus Mullen has rewritten the old rule that healthy can’t be delicious. Seamus’s powerful transformation came out of his own health crisis—after a near-death experience brought on by autoimmune disease he’d struggled with for years, he radically changed the way he cooked, both at his restaurants and at home. As a result, the biomarkers of disease disappeared and the constant trips to the ER he experienced while he was sick have come to an end.
But what Seamus has been surprised to discover is that this new way of eating—dishes starring real, whole foods such as vegetables and fruits, meats used as garnishes, whole grains, fermented foods, and no refined sugar or gluten—has not only controlled his disease but has also made his body feel younger, stronger, and more energized every day. It is his mission to share his brand of cooking with readers everywhere to inspire them to shift their diets and truly redefine what “healthy eating” can and should be.
A powerful manifesto with Seamus’s moving journey at its heart, Real Food Heals is packed with 125 easy-to-prepare, Paleo-inspired, and nourishing recipes packed with delicious whole food ingredients, including Kefir Scrambled Eggs with Grated Garlic; Nori Rolls with Olive Oil, Tuna, Avocado, and Sprouts; and Fig Almond Cacao Nib bars. Complete with a 21-day jump-start meal plan, this unique cookbook will help everyone prepare healthy, irresistible food with big flavors every day and put them on the path to total wellness.

Starred review from June 19, 2017
Chef and restaurateur Mullen (Hero Food) was at the height of his career when he developed rheumatoid arthritis. The pain became so severe that, after a decade of research, he developed a new approach to healthy living that’s heavy on fresh ingredients and low on effort. In this outstanding collection, readers will be introduced to Mullen’s flavor-first approach, with simple, tasty dishes such as sliced peaches with feta, pistachios, and honey; a rich, risottolike oats with bacon, mushrooms, and fried eggs; and a kale chicken caesar salad with quinoa and pecans. Though the book includes a handful of meat and fish recipes, the majority of the recipes are must-try vegetarian fare such as cremini carpaccio; summer squash stuffed with mushrooms, pepitas, and goat cheese; and his deceptively simple Tropical Energy Bar, composed of macadamia nuts, dried pineapple, chia seeds, and coconut. With tips on managing cravings and dietary choices (e.g., eat plenty of vegetables, good fats, and proteins), Mullen’s tone is more conversational than preachy. Readers interested in transitioning to a healthier diet—particularly those new to the kitchen—are sure to appreciate this terrifically accessible approach.
