Come Home to Your Kitchen



I want you to close your eyes as you hold this book in your hands and understand that it is yours to create magic, to reinvent yourself in the kitchen in ways you never thought possible. It doesn't matter if you weren't raised in a home with skilled cooks or entrenched in healthy food traditions as I was. It doesn't matter if you have no culinary experience at all. I am sharing my kitchen, my mami's kitchen, my grandma's bare-bones, gadget-free kitchen that produced the healthiest, most mouthwatering meals. This book you are holding--full of recipes, knowledge, life stories, and tips I share with my own family and clients--is an extension of who I am. I hope it helps and brings you joy, too.

--from the Introduction



When Agatha Achindu came to the US from Cameroon, West Africa, for university, she didn't know what to make of the aisles and aisles of canned foods in the grocery store. She started making meals with fresh ingredients for her roommate; after her first community dinner for fifty fellow students, word spread. Fast-forward thirty years: What started as small dinners and workshops teaching moms how to make nutritious meals blossomed into a career dedicated to helping families live life unprocessed, and eat flavorful, nutrient‑dense foods that can help prevent chronic disease and other food-related health concerns. No matter what Agatha does, her dishes are always based on one fundamental principle she learned from her mami: You are what you eat. Throughout her career, she has shared this ethos: for each and every person--no matter their age, background, or locale--to grow and thrive without the daily aggravation and hardship (and expense!) of preventable chronic diseases. Agatha has been on an unrelenting mission to make families and communities healthier, to live a life that is bursting with vibrant energy, age gracefully and in good health. It is never too late to start eating food that will nourish our body, mind and soul.
