"Aine has distilled the creativity and love that goes into preparing her food into the recipes that she shares with us in this wonderful book.

As a world travelled Irishwoman, she takes us beyond the boundaries of the familiar to new levels of creativity and exploration.

I hope you gain as much inspiration from her recipes as I have derived pleasure from eating her food."

Robert Redford


Creating a magical life means discovering how to create extraordinary food. I've explored the relationship between food and health for more than 30 years, always hoping to find someone who could take the art of cooking beyond the mechanics of a recipe or the presentation of a beautiful meal. Magic showed up in my kitchen the instant Aine started to cook. When I needed energy, her food was like rocket fuel. When I needed to relax, each dish was like a cool summer breeze at the beach.

At last, Aine McAteer, alchemist, healer and chef extraordinaire, shares her secrets in Recipes to Nurture. Like the author herself, this book will change your life, open your heart and soothe yoursoul. Enjoy!
