This recipe book teaches you how to feed yourself and your loved ones in the most loving way possible to promote long-term wellness, with 100 nutrient-dense and beautifully photographed dishes from a beloved nutritionist, home chef, and “spirit nourisher” (Luvvie Ajayi Jones, New York Times bestselling author).

When Agatha Achindu came to the US from Cameroon, West Africa for university, she didn’t know what to make of the aisles and aisles of canned foods in the grocery store. She started making meals with fresh ingredients for her roommate  and after her first community dinner for her fellow students, word spread. Fast-forward thirty years: What started as small dinners and workshops teaching moms how to make nutritious meals blossomed into a career dedicated to helping families eat flavorful, nutrient‑dense foods that can help prevent chronic disease and other food-related health concerns.

No matter what Agatha does, her dishes are always based on one fundamental principle she learned from her mami: You are what you eat. Agatha has been on an unrelenting mission to make families and communities healthier, to live a life that is bursting with vibrant energy, age gracefully and in good health. It is never too late to start eating food that will nourish our body, mind and soul.  

Bountiful Cooking celebrates these matrilineal culinary philosophies with recipes packed with life-giving nutrients. Not only are these recipes healthy, but with global flavors, they also serve as cultural nutrition for the whole family.  Agatha’s recipes will make you fall in love with food, and recognize that it is a sacred source of life—and feeding is the highest expression of love.

Genre:

  • "Agatha Achindu makes amazing food to feed not just our bodies but our souls. The love she puts into everything she makes is abundant, and this cookbook is that love in print. She is a spirit nourisher."

About the Author

Agatha Achindu is a Certified Integrative Nutritionist, wellness entrepreneur, speaker, lifestyle writer, TV personality, chef, and yoga teacher. In 2006 after a decade of teaching over 45,000 parents how to cook healthy delicious food at home for their babies, and teaching those who do not have the time to cook at home how to make healthy choices at the grocery stores by teaching them how to use manufacturers food labels to shop, Agatha founded Yummy Spoonfuls Organics, the first nationally-distributed organic food for kids sold in Walmart stores nationwide today.
 
In 2017 Agatha presented to members of Congress on Capitol Hill as part of the Plate of the Union Campaign hosted by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). A native of Cameroon and Nigeria, Agatha’s love affair with healthy food started from childhood. For Agatha, eating healthy and nutritious food has never been a trend, but instead, a way of life. Growing up on her parents’ organic farm in Cameroon, West Africa, the kitchen was the hub of activity for their family. Meals were made from scratch with fresh ingredients grown from the earth and this approach would become the foundation of her life’s work as a wife, mom, food activist, and businesswoman.
 
Agatha lives in Atlanta with her husband and youngest son.
