In the eating disorder profession, we like to say, "it's not about the food." But when a woman is struggling to overcome an eating disorder, the flavor, eye appeal and nutritional value of the food she eats may spell the difference between success and failure.

This 92-page spiral bound handbook is Mirasol's best-kept secret and an important part of our eating disorder treatment program. The recipes have all been "field-tested" by the world's most demanding clientele: women in residential treatment for eating disorders.

This book is the culmination of their six years of succesful experience in helping women learn to eat again. The book includes an extensive introduction to the whole foods philosophy and the essentials of maintaining good nutrition. The emphasis on careful selection and preparation of food helps women overcome concerns about food safety, and an abundance of appealing vegetarian and vegan menu options eases the transition to normal eating.
