This Cheese is Nuts by Julie Piatt is a detailed guide to creating vegan cheeses using nuts. The book includes a wide range of recipes, from brie to burrata, and provides specific instructions on equipment, techniques, and ingredients needed. It emphasizes the importance of precise measurements and the use of ingredients like raw nuts, spirulina, and Irish moss to achieve the desired textures. The cookbook is designed to help readers transition to a plant-based diet without sacrificing the taste and experience of cheese[4][5].
Created by Rich Roll and Julie Piatt, this book shares their experiences and the health benefits of a plant-based lifestyle. It includes a variety of easy-to-prepare whole food recipes, such as hearty breakfasts, lunches, dinners, smoothies, juices, and desserts. The book is not just a recipe collection but a comprehensive guide to long-term wellness, body, mind, and spirit health, and a celebration of a simple and sustainable lifestyle.
In 'The Stress Solution', Dr. Rangan Chatterjee addresses the modern stress epidemic by offering a four-pillar plan to reset your life. The book focuses on four key areas: body, mind, relationships, and purpose. Chatterjee provides practical and achievable interventions, such as designing an effective morning routine, keeping a touch diary, and managing digital stress. He draws from his experience as a GP and includes personal accounts and patient cases to illustrate the effectiveness of his methods. The book aims to help readers lead a more fulfilled, calmer life by making small but significant changes to their daily routines.
Welcome to the latest installment in my ongoing series of mind melds with my wife and in-house spiritual guru, the wise and ethereal Julie Piatt, aka SriMati.
Longtime listeners are well acquainted with my better half. For those newer to the show, Julie is very good at many things. In addition to being an accomplished yogi, healer, musician, and mom to four children, she's also the bestselling author of three vegan cookbooks. She hosts the For The Life of Me podcast. She lords over Water Tiger, her online spiritual community. And she's the founder and 'Mother Arc' of SriMu, her recently launched plant-based cheese start-up.
This conversation opens with an update on SriMu. How Julie manifested her vision to create the absolute best artisanal vegan cheese on the market. Start-up founder life behind-the scenes. The values she is building into her food and work culture. And the broader mission she holds for the future.
We discuss the hows and whys behind my decision to take my first ever extended work sabbatical (don't worry the podcast will continue as scheduled).
And we explore strategies for navigating the perilous emotional and financial land mines that accompany the holiday season.
Finally, we close with thoughts on weathering the judgment of others. Maintaining a growth mindset. Approaching others with humility. And the benefits of choosing to see the divinity in all things.
The visually inclined can watch it all go down on YouTube.
I sincerely hope you enjoy the divine offering.
Peace + Plants,
Rich
