In this second "3 Boys and a Chef" cookbook, Chef Mark Allison and his sons Jonathan, Matthew, and James demonstrate how whole foods combined in simple recipes can taste great and be on the table in minutes. Along with recipes and nutrient details, Chef Allison remembers his parents and how their love of gardening and cooking sparked his life-long passion for food. That passion defines his career as a chef and educator. But after one son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and his wife with cancer, his focus turned from preparing cuisine inspired by classic French techniques to cooking with mainly plant-based foods and unprocessed ingredients. The journey, captured in two cookbooks and the food blog 3 Boys and a Chef, shows how cooking healthy foods together as a family improves overall health, creates enduring memories, and builds culinary skills that last a lifetime.
