Radiant: The Cookbook
Turn your pantry into a storehouse of beauty fuel -- and you'll begin to radiate health from the inside out.
From adaptogens and algae to sweet potatoes and turmeric, discover the exquisite flavors and healing magic of whole foods. In this A to Z guide and cookbook of the world’s most nutrient-dense foods, chef and nutritionist Mafalda Pinto Leite will illuminate how nature provides everything you need to achieve radiant health.
Radiant is about falling in love with pure food and receiving the dynamic life-force fuel these superfoods naturally provide. With the healing potency of raw vegetables, fruits, petals, herbs, roots, nuts, seaweeds, and more, you can age gracefully, ease stress, sleep better, and even feel more confident and creative. The (mostly) raw, vegan recipes highlight these powerhouse foods in unexpected ways, such as with the Rose Quartz Latte, Zen Chia Pudding with Matcha Whip, Moroccan Spiced Salad with Chickpea Popcorn, Into the Sea Salad Bowl, and Chocolate Maca Doughnuts.
As you follow Mafalda’s joyful “inside out” approach, you’ll experience bountiful energy, acute brainpower, balanced hormones, luminous skin, elevated moods, and restored digestion. These transformative recipes are your guide to choosing foods with the potential to change your life.

(Review Not on Blog)
The photographs in this book are as gorgeous as the cover so makes a great book for any bookshelf or coffee table. This book is more than just a cookbook, it breaks down the health properties behind the food. The first part of the book deals with establishing a radiant kitchen. The second part is about the food and what makes it an essential. The last part is recipes, that look fun to make and of course to eat!

This beautifully photographed and written offering from Roost Books is rich in wisdom about using whole food to produce radiant health. The primarily raw vegan recipes draw from the healing power of veggies, fruits, herbs, nuts, roots, seaweeds, petals, and more. All are designed to boost energy, reduce stress, balance hormones, enhance brain function, promote good sleep, and lead to more graceful aging. And they sound delicious! I’m planning on Rainbow Rolls with Thai almond sauce and spiralized veggies, plus a Rose Quartz Latte for lunch. Yummers! 5 of 5 stars

Beyond the best healthy, clean eating cookbook that I’ve read in a while.
I started out wanting to detox and get back to a better, healthier me and this was a great place to start! However, not only did it help me start my clean eating journey, it stayed with me too!
Given the chance, food can be our healing medicine and our beauty regimen in one. We just have to give it a chance. Aside from feeling better and more energetic and clear minded, but my skin was also showing a new glow. One that I hadn’t seen in years.
Please check this book out and give it a chance! I promise you will forever be changed!

I received a temporary digital copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.
I'm always interested in cookbooks that have a different spin to them so when I saw Rose Quartz Latte and Sea Salad Bowl I was intrigued. There definitely are some cool recipes in here and I recommend giving it a look through just to see the pictures but I don't know if I would really make much out of it.

Informative and well organized, with gorgeous photography, but too far away from my current lifestyle to want to own. Most recipes contained at least one of her pantry staples that will never be one of my staples.

This book really is radiant. Immediately, I was attracted to the cover, the layout, the photos, and overall, the information. It's easy to digest (maybe pun intended?) and great reminders (Cut the Sugar), Focus on the Breath, Get Your Beauty Sleep). Quite often eating clean books give so much information that it's overwhelming, and I can't retain anything. The recipes are simple and memorable (my favorite so far The Detox or Glowing Skin Burger) and I'm keeping it as a resource for sure.

A beautiful cookbook full of stunning photography and nutritious recipes! All recipes are plant-based, vegan and rich in superfoods. The end result is stunning foods and beverages, definitely picture-perfect and worthy of an Instagram shot!
