Plant-Based Cooking when Living with Chronic Illness
Cooking is one of the most important things we can do to support our health, especially if we are managing a new or ongoing illness. Eating patterns and recipes that are better for the environment can often improve our health and help us save money. Using fresh ingredients when cooking this way also makes it taste great.
