Renowned Chef and Health and Wellness Advocate Writes Book of Recipes for Juicing Raw Fruits and Vegetables

March 12, 2009

Nigerian-born chef Phiner Dike-Jelden (pronounced "fena deekay"), owner of the restaurant A Phiner Bistro in Avon, Ohio, is also a renowned health and wellness expert. Both personally and professionally, she lives by a simple philosophy: you are what you eat. As she explains, "When people are well, they are happy. When they are happy, they are at peace. If the world eats well, the world will be at peace." Diners at A Phiner Bistro know that Dike-Jelden's talents are a God-given gift and that she lovingly customizes her menu to meet the needs of her customers. Once they taste her inspired, healthy, and delicious cooking, they return. It's as simple as that.

In her new book, Juicing for Your Soul, Dike-Jelden tackles the misconception that it takes too much time to eat properly. Instead, she encourages her readers to "change their way of looking at food." She inspires her readers to put food preparation into proper perspective. Buying fruits and vegetables and juicing them quickly becomes automatic, and making several ounces of a healthful, energizing drink takes far less time than picking up a burger at a local drive thru. As Dike-Jelden emphasizes, "People need to turn away from this preserved nonsense and put their health first."

In addition to numerous recipes that address every ailment from allergies and anxiety to halitosis and hemorrhoids, Juicing for Your Soul includes a nutritional summary of the fruits and vegetables called for that will leave readers inspired and knowledgeable.

Basil eases motion sickness? Sage helps with PMS, hot flashes, and other symptoms of menopause? Cucumbers assist in wound healing? Pears improve bowel movement?
