The recipes are thoughtful and include all the elements I hoped for. I am grateful to use this myself and to share it with family, friends, and patients as a resource that can shift how we approach the holiday season. Choosing foods that create health is not only good for our bodies, it also supports our families and communities by reducing the burden of chronic disease linked to the standard American diet. This is the kind of change that can ripple outward and shape a healthier future for everyone we touch.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Diana M Lifestyle Medicine Physician 

Siri's recipes are wonderful. I went to my farmer's market and picked up what I needed to make them for my annual Friendsgiving. Some new ideas and some classics reworked. I can appreciate the effort to create something new from classic recipes.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ellen R Santa Rose, Ca

Most of my life, I have had a Turkey with holiday meals but recently I was traveling and saw turkeys walking through a park with their family. It really impacted me. I'm grateful for the resources to bring new ideas and flavors into my Thanksgiving meal. Not everyone tried what I made but I thought it tasted good.
