“A game-changing book for parents and hosts alike.
Say goodbye to making separate meals, and say hello to a united table!” — Dr. Will Cole, IFMCP, DNM, DC, leading functional medicine expert and bestselling author of Ketotarian, The Inflammation Spectrum, Intuitive Fasting, and Gut Feelings.
Sauce is the universal connector at the table. Making sauces ahead of time enriches meals because you can serve them with everything, and the experience brings people together at the table.
Make a big pot of stew or rice, or a double batch of meatballs over the weekend to have on hand all week long.
If possible, try to have three simple dishes rather than one big dish. For example, a salad, a pot of beans, and a roast chicken. This allows people to customize their plates.
Master a few recipes that accommodate any dietary considerations in your circle of friends and family and that cover all the bases for easy family-style dining.
Serve meals with gluten, dairy, sauces, or any known allergens on the side so loved ones can mix and match based on dietary choices. Allow people to customize their plates without a spotlight.
