For decades, Chef Kendra Peterson of Drizzle Kitchen has been taking care of people through food. Her new allergy friendly book is a product of her life's work, and a compilation of some of her client's favorite recipes. Inside you will find recipes studded with modern secrets and pro-tips ready to bring more happiness and flavor into your family's kitchen. Recipes included range from Quinoa Breakfast Pizza and Maca-Matcha Smoothie to Kale and Sweet Potato Salad with Tahini-Maple Dressing and Energizer Bunny Quinoa Salad to Sesame Miso Roasted Broccoli and Coconut Whipped Butternut Squash to Chicken Parmesan Meatballs and Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps. The ever popular Power Bites recipe rounds out the book and is sure to become a family favorite. Chef Kendra understands firsthand that all families have unique needs and desires when it comes to food. This is why she has organized her first cookbook with clear substitutions for the top-8 food allergens. All recipes are gluten free, but with her unique type of recipe writing Chef Kendra gives you the flexibility to make the cookbook exactly what YOU need to prepare food that is not only delicious, but also safe for you and your family. Chef Kendra believes food tastes best when it is prepared with love and joy rather than stress and speed. So she has lots of "Happy Helps" sprinkled through the book. Navigating through an allergy or dietary restriction can be stressful and can easily remove the fun from cooking. But Drizzle Kitchen Favorites shows you how to easily swap out ingredients and bring giggling back to the kitchen! Also included is a glossary of some of the more unique ingredients that Chef Kendra uses and her favorite places to source them. Drizzle Kitchen Favorites is designed like only a private, family chef can write a book. Chef Kendra knows what the everyday home cook needs, wants, and is capable of. This is how she has written for YOU to create your own customized, allergy friendly book.
