Waldorf, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/10/2013 -- Chef Nancy finds that while many people aspire to eating for better health, the ins and outs of doing so remain largely a mystery. That is why she makes it her foremost priority to teach healthy cooking that only tastes delightful. Beyond just healthy cooking, she has taken years of experience as a personal chef for people with chronic illness and distilled it into a cooking regimen that promotes reversal of disease, including cancer. Along with her upcoming Epicurean Voyage to Health, Chef Nancy is re-releasing her book "Chef Nancy's Recipe for Health". The book is designed to transition readers away from what Chef Nancy refers to as SAD (Standard American Diet) onto a road to health, weight loss, increased energy and a feeling of well-being.

She wants anyone interested in improving overall health, reversinging disease and great tasting food to know that the ability of food to transform is both amazing in its scope while being little understood by most people. In response to all her efforts, whether from books, teaching to groups or among her personal clients, her recipes are described as awesome with their supremely appetizing taste and their ability to quickly improve health and well-being.

"Chef Nancy's Recipe for Health" is available by going to http://www.thebookpatch.com/BookStoreDetails.aspx?BookID=2629&ID=e7945b77-0a5c-4ca7-8688-c1e305ceb544. An electronic version ("The Anti-Reaper Diet") is also available at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DTX9QV4

Those wanting up close instruction and one-on-one counseling from Chef Nancy, will have a unique opportunity to learn delicious recipes and a food strategy for improving health, preventing and healing disease. She will be demonstrating all her know-how in an intimate setting aboard her 2014 Epicurean Voyage to Health, a fifteen day cruise which will depart from New Zealand and visit ports-of-call throughout the South Pacific before arriving in Tahiti. Only a limited number of spaces are available for this exclusive and intimate cruise.

Drawing from her years of experience cooking for the critically ill, Chef Nancy has developed a dietary approach to preventing and contributing to the successful treatment of cancer. Her techniques have been continually researched and refined to create a tasty range of foods which motivate the individual to eat for health and use diet as a tool in the treatment of disease.

More information on her cruise is available here:
http://www.sbwire.com/press-releases/luxury/cruise/sbwire-252663.htm

Along with being able to create a diet which effectively starves cancer cells, the cooking skills which are taught in her book, and which will be shared in-depth during next year's cruise, also are effective in helping the treatment of diabetes, food sensitivities and weight related conditions. Group and one-on-one sessions covering these topics will be provided during the cruise.

Waldorf, MD -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/07/2013 -- Chef Nancy, creator of The Holistic Kitchen (http://www.holistickitchen.com), views diet first as the most important part of health, disease prevention and treatment, and second as something which doesn't have to skimp on the finer things in life, including great comfort foods.

Her cooking for health cruise across the South Pacific, the Epicurean Voyage to Health, will be coming up in March 2014. The intimate gathering aboard the Oceania Marina will start in New Zealand with many stops before reaching its destination in Tahiti, during which she will demonstrate and teach the basics of her cooking style. Elegance, great food and the promotion of disease prevention and treatment through diet are the hallmarks of Chef Nancy's approach to cooking and teaching others her cooking style.

Her website with specifics about the cruise is located at http://chefnancysculinarycruise.com/

Chef Nancy's website (http://www.theholistickitchen.com) contains extensive information about cooking for an effective cancer treatment diet which helps starve the cancer cells and promote healing of damaged healthy tissue. The bottom line of her cancer diet is to help the body without helping the cancer by focusing on food low on the glycemic index. Several healthy, high protein, recipes wait on her website with concoctions for spinach dip and what Chef Nancy's named "Legal Mac and Cheese".

Chef Nancy describes her approach to cooking. "I am passionate about helping to change the American health paradigm. The current paradigm simply treats the symptoms of disease. With (truly delicious) food, we can become a 'self-health' society. I teach people how to enjoy changing the way they eat, moving us from SAD (Standard American Diet) to GLADD (Guilt-free, Lip-smacking, Anti-Disease Diet). I help people take back their power to live longer, healthier lives. My latest book, The Anti-Reaper Diet, is a 4 week experience in transitioning from SAD to GLADD, creating a new lifestyle habit that will give the Grim Reaper a run for his money!" (available July, 2013 in print and e-books).
