Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul: A Healthy Lifestyle Cookbook

“What I eat and how I eat affects the quality of life and my health more than almost anything else I do,” writes supermodel and philanthropist Bündchen in her holistic debut. She starts by sharing her struggles in maintaining a healthy lifestyle during the early years of her modeling career, asserting that eating foods containing refined sugars and gluten contributed to her depression and anxiety. Per her osteopath’s suggestion, Bündchen reformed her eating habits and noticed her body “reboot.” Adhering to the same principles 20 years later, Bündchen’s flavorful offerings, which include butternut squash soup with rosemary, pesto chicken lettuce wraps, and coconut muffins with coconut dulce de leche, are all free of gluten and refined sugar. Other recipes, such as Pão de Queijo (cheese bread) and grilled rib eye with chimichurri, pay tribute to Bündchen’s Brazilian heritage. Alongside the recipes are plenty of suggestions for hearty pairings (the garlicky clams with rice noodles can be served with the beet and arugula salad) and kid-friendly versions (the sheet-pan squash and chickpeas make “an amazing taco filling”). While there’s nothing groundbreaking, gluten-free readers seeking a healthier lifestyle will be intrigued. Agent: Pilar Queen, UTA. (Mar.)
