“It’s an amazing opportunity when you develop the ability to observe yourself.”
Julie Piatt
Do you think a healthy vegan lifestyle means giving up your favorite creamy pastas and cheesy pizzas?
Think again.
Today I sit down with Julie Piatt — mi amore in life, parenting, and service — for a two-part podcast.
First up is everything you need to know about our brand new, super awesome cookbook & lifestyle guide, The Plantpower Way: Italia: Delicious Vegan Recipes from the Italian Countryside* — hitting bookstores everywhere next week.
Shifting gears, Julie and I then turn our attention on relationships. It’s a look into how we’ve maintained our 20-year partnership in life and work, and what can be mined from our experience to deepen intimacy with your amore.
THE PLANTPOWER WAY: ITALIA — GIVEAWAY
Inspired by our annual retreats in Tuscany, our follow up to The Plantpower Way* pays homage to Italy’s rich food history with an extraordinary collection of 125 delicious, nutritious and entirely plant-based Italian recipes animated by the country’s most popular and time-honored dishes. Filled with fresh vegan takes on Italian staples, inventive new recipes, and stunning photographs of the Italian countryside, this book — we call it Italian 2.0 — is our celebration of Italy’s most delicious flavors and will show everyone a fresh, beautiful, and healthful side to Italian cooking.
This book is a labor of love. It’s a family affair. It’s a book you’ll use daily. A book you will give as a gift and proudly display on your coffee table for friends to peruse.
But most of all, it’s a book that could change your life.
And we simply cannot wait to finally share it with you.
Pre-order sales are super important to the books ultimate viability, as they heavily influence retail purchaser demand and visibility. So if this sounds like a book for you, then it would mean a great deal to Julie and me if you would entrust us with a pre-order purchase from Amazon*, Barnes & Noble*, Target* or your favorite independent bookseller.
Pick one up for yourself. For a relative in need. Or in anticipation of your friend’s impending birthday.
To sweeten the pot, we’re giving away a spot to one lucky female to our upcoming (sold out) Tuscany retreat — valued at $5,000! — May 19-24, 2018. For rules and to enter, click here.
To close, understand that greater health is always within your grasp.
So take our hand.
And make the leap.
Because there is a better way. It’s called The Plantpower Way.
Peace + Plants,
