The TQI Diet (short for To Quiet Inflammation) began as The Abascal Way in 2007. This simple but sophisticated diet quickly reduces aches and pains, improves the symptoms of chronic illnesses, helps with weight issues, and increases well-being. There is a TQI Diet planbook that explains the diet itself. This is its partner cookbook, for the first time available separately. The TQI cookbook was created to help people implement the TQI Diet. It provides recipes for a variety of vegetable dishes and pleasing breakfasts. There are only a few recipes for chicken, fish, tofu and grain dishes because most already have favorite recipes for them that work well on the TQI Diet with at most minor substitutions. What most people lack are delicious vegetable dishes with interesting sauces and dressings. The goal is to help the vegetables become the stars of our meals. That in turn will make healthy eating both easier and more enjoyable.
