My special guest is Marcela Benson, author of the amazing book, Love, Peace & Vegetables: Recipes for Conscious Living. Marcela's new book is the result of her journey to realization, beginning as a child growing up in the South American Cosmopolitan of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a mashup of Syrian and Israeli Jewish parentage. She was the embodiment of cross-cultural influences, embracing ritual, family, and culture of all. At the age of 25, her love for food resulted in her obesity. She knew she had to choose between a life of obesity and illness or one of health and wellness. She sought out wise teachers to learn how to break the patterns that led to obesity and became immersed in the Live Food Lifestyle. Her book is filled with art, poetry, spiritual inspiration, pristine eating food prep instruction never before assembled in one place, and hundreds of yummy recipes that will entice the pallet. This is a guidebook for self-love and sharing her love of food and life with the world. This book will replenish your soul and body!!
