From "one of the most brilliant registered dietitians ever" (Gwyneth Paltrow) comes a culinary trip around the globe with 80+ delicious, healthy recipes for heritage dishes embraced by diverse groups of people living in the United States. "A multicultural road map to healthier eating . . . While most dietitian-driven cookbooks are full of 'No!' . . . this one delights with 'Yes!' and makes the reader want to head for the kitchen."--Jessica B. Harris, Ph.D., author of High on the Hog The typical American diet is heavy in added sugars, salts, and synthetic fats, but one-size-fits-all nutrition plans often leave many of us wanting more.

She shares thoughtful and realistic ways to think about how we relate to food, along with nutrition highlights and tips throughout. Maya makes it easy to enjoy the vibrant flavors of your favorite cuisine, whether that's the foods you grew up eating in the family kitchen or new recipes you're discovering for the first time.
