Well -written with citations for relevant research and a friendly voice giving history behind the reasons, this cookbook makes me want to detour on our drive home from Florida to Toronto to try the Pinewood Kitchen in person. The recipes are simply written and include a variety of homecooked, health-happy, hearty southern classics.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

This book is a beautiful cookery book full of deliciously mouth watering meals that I can't wait to try out in 2020. I've always had an interest in southern cooking and if my meals turn out anything like the ones in this book I'm on to a winner!
The best thing about this book is its gut friendly. My family have many autoimmune illnesses and i cant wait to share some of the recipies in this book with them and try them out together.

I loved this book. For the first 1/3 of the book, we learn about why it’s important to have a healthy gut.

The rest of the book is filled with mouthwatering photos with delicious recipes that support a healthy gut. I personally plan to make the Grilled Peach Salad.
