Eat for Life!

If you’re pregnant, know someone who’s pregnant — or are very much not pregnant but want to eat well and healthfully, there’s a new cookbook coming out on Sept. 8 by San Diegans Torie Borrelli Hall and Eric Wolfinger called “Eating for Life” (self-published, $49.99). The cookbook, subtitled “A Holistic Cookbook for Pregnancy and a Thriving Family,” will be available for purchase on their website, eatingforlifecookbook.com.

You’ll get both a great deep dive into nutrition to help you make solid food choices and recipes written by both both authors for foods from eggs, bones and collagen to a variety of other proteins, carbs and legumes, ferments and sweets. Some look familiar but others (Liver Meatballs Made 3 Ways) are unusual and intriguing. I’ve included three in my new story on the book for The San Diego Union-Tribune’s Food section: High Protein Pancakes, Spaghetti Carbonara (with Extra Yolks), and Dry-Fried Green Beans With Anchovy Bagna Càuda. I think you’ll love them!
