MEDIA RELEASE My Wholefood Community Sandra Dubs has been passionate about plant-based wholefoods as medicine for more than 35 years. She started Melbourne's first Traditional Japanese Cooking School in 1987 as well as Vegan and Macrobiotic Cooking Classes. Now, with the help of her community, she has created an inspiring cookbook to share her healthy eating habits with others. This passion project was successfully crowdfunded and is self-published. Surviving cancer and having immune system challenges throughout her life, Sandra has dedicated herself to the support of others who seek to live a healthy lifestyle, improve well-being and prevent illness and disease. Through consultations, lectures and cooking classes, she has worked tirelessly to spread the word about health supportive whole foods and especially to support those who suffer with immune system challenges, digestive disorders, food intolerances and cancer. With years of study behind her and as one of the pioneers of Australia's health food industry, Sandra is excited to share the benefits and wisdom of her vast knowledge and hands-on experience. ""Owning a health food store and running classes in the 80's I was seen as ""alternative"". Over the last 30 years I have seen the shift to health supportive eating become ""mainstream"". That makes me very proud."" Sandra's book ""My Wholefood Community Cook Book"" reveals her personal philosophy of food being medicine as well as many of the favourite recipes taught in her well attended cooking classes, all built around nutritious, plant-based whole foods - whole-grains, legumes, vegetables from land and sea, nuts and seeds. The book has super nutritional information and handy tips, an interesting glossary of ingredients, stories from her wholefood community participants and suppliers of ingredients as well as a shopping list for basic ingredients to store in your pantry. The recipes are written in easy to follow, simple language and are paired with glossy real food images which were taken directly as recipes are cooked and plated. ""I've managed to incorporate all aspects of nutrition, flavour and taste sensations to help keep you, and me, satisfied, vital and above all, well,"" she says. Recipes are gluten free, wheat free, egg free, dairy free, sugar free. All recipes are suitable for vegans and non-vegans who want to eat more plant based whole foods. ""In the mid-1990s when I was creating an elective on food as medicine for medical students at Monash University, Sandy was my go-to person who helped design and deliver the course. She has now condensed her vast knowledge into this book that will provide a valuable resource to anyone who wants to reclaim their health through natural food that is not only nutritious, delicious and good for the planet, but is also easy and fun to prepare.""
