Real Food Heals: Eat to Feel Younger and Stronger Every Day

Description

In the high-end food world, 'healthy cooking' has long been taboo. But as one of the only high-profile chefs today guided by the understanding that the food we eat has a deep impact on our health, Seamus Mullen has rewritten the old rule that healthy can't be delicious. It is his mission to share his brand of cooking with readers everywhere to inspire them to shift their diets and truly redefine what 'healthy eating' can and should be.

Seamus Mullen is an award-winning chef, restaurateur, and cookbook author known for his inventive yet approachable modern Spanish cuisine. He opened his first solo restaurant, Tertulia, in 2011, followed by El Colmado, a tapas and wine bar, in 2013. Seamus has been named "Chef of the Year" by Time Out New York and has been a semifinalist for Best Chef in NYC by the James Beard Foundation three years in a row. He was a finalist on Food Network's The Next Iron Chef and has been featured as a guest judge on Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay. Hero Food was his first cookbook. He lives in New York City.
