  Treating Autism through Nutrition - Balancing the Bowl Cookbook Author, Susan Delaine

  "Healing autism is possible through the use of proper diet, detoxification, nutrition supplementation and an array of other natural processes.” Self published author, lecturer and passionate advocate for autism awareness and action, Susan Delaine considers Balancing the Bowl, the most important book she will write in her career. In her mission to organically heal autism, one child at a time, Susan authored two cookbooks, entitled “Balancing the Bowl” which takes a close look at the connection between autism, diet, digestion and immunity. The first edition is designed for those who have multiple food allergies, while the second contains allergen-free recipes that are completely gluten-free and casein-free. Susan’s mission to spread the word globally about the autism-diet connection and other healing methods is personal. In 2002, Susan’s brilliant son, Justin, was first diagnosed with multiple, severe food allergies at the age of nine months. This diagnosis came after months of chronic illnesses and unsuccessful doctor assessments. Faced with the challenge of developing edible, nutritious meals for her son from a limited selection of ingredients, Susan was unwittingly preparing for the future challenge of using a special diet to help treat her son’s autism; later diagnosed around the age of three. Despite the devastating autism diagnosis, the Delaine family empowered themselves with information on how they could help Justin as parents. Susan plugged away at her hunch that what people were eating and what they were lacking in nutrition were playing a role in their optimal learning experiences. And she was right. She began to find large bodies of research and organizations that recommended multi-tier approaches to autism, all of which included a diet free from gluten (found in wheat, barley, rye and oats) and casein (found in milk). In her quest to heal her son, Susan found remedy in recipes. Balancing the Bowl offers a variety of recipes that are gluten-free (GF)

  The Basic Art of Italian Cooking w/Chef Maria Liberati,Author, Entrepreneur, former Int'l Supermodel

  As a former international supermodel, Maria Liberati never dreamed that she would go from being a fashion diva to a domestic diva. Ironically, while jet setting off to modeling assignments around the world, Maria became closer to the simplicity of life and food in the country setting of her family's vineyard in the mountains of central Italy. Her passion with food began at the early age of 4, when she would accompany 'nonno' (grandfather) on his early morning Saturday trips to the Italian Market in Philadelphia to pick out all the fresh ingredients for the Sunday family meal. Eventually, Maria began writing food articles and restaurant review columns. She was soon asked to conduct cooking programs while in Italy and then in the States. The rest, as they say, is history. Currently, she divides her time between her office and residence in the USA and Italy. Maria's cooking philosophy is to create recipes that simply transform the freshest ingredients without changing their essential flavors. **Listeners can WIN A COPY of Maria's new cookbook** www.RecipesForLifeToday.com www.MariaLiberati.com

  The Sober Kitchen - Advice & Recipes for People in Recovery w/Chef Liz Scott

  Chef Liz, a professionally trained chef, has achieved long-term recovery and gained an innovative new view of her personal and professional life. But, in deciding to seek treatment a decade ago for alcoholism, she feared recovery would end her culinary career; a career that embraced alcohol as a key ingredient in cooking and a prerequisite to fine dining. For Scott and the nearly 9 million Americans in recovery from alcohol and drug dependence, relapse is a major concern. Holidays, special occasions, and social events can often be a minefield of triggers. Many popular recipes, from main dishes to desserts, often call for alcohol in some form and nearly all social events include wine and spirits. Yet, scientific studies have shown that there can be a risk for relapse simply from the cravings that are set off by the smell, taste, and visual cues of alcohol. Determined to find a way to combine her love of cooking and her commitment to recovery, Scott focused on what was to become the concept for her first cookbook, The Sober Kitchen. “I began to experiment with different kinds of substitutes to find ways to create the same flavor by using alcohol-free ingredients, says Scott. “I found that common pantry ingredients such as fruit juices and vinegars could step in perfectly for recipes that called for wine.” Scott expanded her experimentation with flavored syrups, teas, and infusions and the results were outstanding. Her repertoire now includes remarkable substitutions for nearly every possible culinary use of alcohol and the innovation continues to include alcohol-free drink pairings and mocktails.
