In Food Is My Religion, certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Lara McKenna invites readers to rediscover food as a sacred part of life - something to honor, celebrate, and enjoy every day. Blending personal stories, mindful rituals, and practical nutrition advice, she transforms healthy eating into an act of gratitude and self-care.
With warmth, humor, and wisdom drawn from her own multifaith family table, Lara shares yes and foods to avoid lists that make sense, rituals to nourish both body and soul, and recipes that prove eating well can be joyful and deeply satisfying.
Part memoir, part wellness guide, and cookbook, Food Is My Religion reminds us that our kitchen can be our temple, our table a place of love, and every meal a moment of connection - to ourselves, to each other, and to the world around us.
