Mee first started cooking when Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and Hashimoto's brought her debilitating daily pain. When conventional treatments couldn't help, Mee found relief in a surprising place: her kitchen. Through relentless recipe testing, she put her condition into remission and completely restored her health with gut-friendly whole foods, most of which she grew and harvested on her family's farm outside of Nashville, Tennessee.
Once Mee was well, she opened a farm-to-table restaurant, sharing locally grown and seasonal foods with her community--some of whom drive hours to get a taste of Pinewood's Grain-Free Fried Chicken. Pinewood Kitchen is unique in that every meal is created with the intention to serve everyone with the same deliciousness regardless of dietary restrictions.
Whether you want to eat healthier or you have diabetes, lupus, celiac, Crohn's, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, or another autoimmune issue, you'll find a wealth of delicious, nutritious recipes. You'll also discover:
- The importance of intestinal health and how to improve your own gut microbiome
- Which foods are nutritional powerhouses and which you must avoid
- How to eat real food every day without breaking the bank
Mee is living proof that you can change your fate by what's on your plate--her recipes will help you prepare delicious food that brings you and your family together around the table.
