Nourish, by Amber Rose, Sadie Frost, and Holly Davidson, is
lovely. And that is just about the
pictures and design of the book.
The content is also pretty amazing.
The book has three sections, one
about food with recipes, one about mindfulness, and one about exercise. I’ve cooked several things from the
food section and they have all been delicious. I expect to cook many more of them. All of them involve fresh, healthy food
prepared with love and attention.
The resulting dishes are also beautiful to look at, an aspect of food
that I tend to forget is important but which does add something important to
the experience.
The mindfulness section provides
lots of information about breathing, yoga, mediation, and the like. We all can use more mindfulness and
this is a good jumping off point.
I felt right at home in the
exercise section because the focus is on doing what is fun. There are clear directions for various
exercises (I learned a new kind of jack!
Beware!) and some interesting workouts. Most exercises require nothing more than the body.
While the book is focused and
directed toward women, men should not be afraid to use it (except maybe for the
beauty aids, but those scare me, too).
After all, we all need to eat and breathe and move.
Ultimately, I did find the book
to be nourishing, in many senses of the word.
