Mareya Ibrahim is not only a chef, she’s a holistic nutritionist, award-winning entrepreneur, solo mother of two children—and host of the popular Facebook Live Show The REAL Dish. She’s also the author of the new cookbook, Eat Like You Give A Fork: The Real Dish on Eating to Thrive. She’s also one of the Signature Chefs and meal-plan designer for the New York Times bestseller The Daniel Plan. The cookbook, published by St. Martin’s Griffin is available in June and retails for $29.99.

Ibrahim believes no one should to anything that starts with “die” as in “diet.” She encourages readers to skip the diet mentality and approach eating with a more holistic and positive frame of mind. To illustrate and lead the way, she’s created eighty delicious recipes around her eight essential nutrition strategies.

The eight essential strategies Ibrahim has developed over her 20 years in food: reset your taste buds, stock your real kitchen, get up on greens, take a vegan fast break, go gluten-free super grains, fill in with good fat, become real dense and living the 90/10 rule.
