Dr. Laura Trice: The Wholesome Junk Food Cookbook

Growing up in Portland, Maine, Laura spent much of her early years in the kitchen helping her mother, an avid cook devoted to preparing healthy, homecooked meals. Her mother's influence rubbed off, and when Trice went to work as a medic on the set of a television show, she'd bring her own healthy cookies and snacks for the rest of the crew. Their overwhelming response convinced her she could go into business selling what everyone wanted: healthy snacks made with all-natural ingredients that were just as delicious as any store bought confection. “If you're going to eat 'junk food' treats, this is what you should be eating,” says Dr. Dean Ornish, founder of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute, “Slowly, mindfully, and with great pleasure.” Now Laura's brand of Wholesome Junk Food is available in stores nationwide.

Having established herself as a keen authority on combining good health with great taste, Trice is sharing her delicious recipes in The Wholesome Junk Food Cookbook. More than 100 recipes inside provide a tasty alternative to traditional snacks loaded with sugar, white flour, and artificial chemicals. “The Wholesome Junk Food Cookbook is loaded with luscious recipes for the sweet taste we all crave without all the ingredients we don't need.” explains Dr. Christiane Northrup, author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom. The new book offers a wide variety of simple recipes for snacks for every dietary need: vegetarian, vegan, dairy- or gluten-free.
