For the first time, New York Times bestselling cookbook author and wellness advocate Danielle Walker writes the full story of her journey to finding life again through the healing power of food.<br/><br/>After being diagnosed with an extreme form of ulcerative colitis, an autoimmune disease, at 22, Danielle made it her personal mission to effectively manage her symptoms through lifestyle and diet without sacrificing her passion for great-tasting, healthy food. Thousands of recipes and three New York Times bestselling cookbooks later, Danielle is a beacon of hope in the autoimmune world, helping millions of readers who suffer from disease, allergies, or chronic ailments find freedom and experience deep healing.<br/><br/>Now, in Food Saved Me, Danielle pens her first memoir, reflecting on the journey that brought her here: a decade-long cycle of diagnosis, trauma, debilitating sickness, remission, recovery, setbacks, hope, and healing. Danielle's resilience in the face of sickness and loss led her to new ways of cooking, which ultimately redeemed her health and the ideal of hospitality. Through her tribulations and triumphs, you'll find that no matter what your ailment, there is hope--you can live a full, happy, and healthy life without ever feeling hungry, excluded, or deprived. Because the truth is, food can radically change our lives for the better.

Hi, I'm Danielle.
I'm a wife, mom, and grain-free, gluten-free, and mostly dairy-free cook and baker from the San Francisco Bay area.

Odds are, if you're reading this book, you or someone you know is struggling with an autoimmune disease or some other health concern, and you're wondering if changing your diet can help. The short answer is yes! It most definitely can! The slightly longer answer lies in the pages that follow.

This book is my story, but it is also a love story--a story about loving food, loving family, loving friends, and loving yourself enough to take an active role in managing your own health. I have experienced a decade-long cycle of diagnosis, trauma, disease, grief, remission, setbacks, recovery, loss, and rediscovering faith, but one thing has held true: Food continues to save me. And my mission is to help others understand all the different ways food can help save them, too.

That's why I have written this book. I want to share my journey so that others battling chronic illnesses will know they're not alone--there is a path forward, there is healing, and there is hope.

The journey might not always be easy. But I can promise you it will be worth it.

Eat well and feel great, friend.
