Summary:

"Built on a foundation of balance and compassion, [this book] is Roy Choi's magnum opus, reflecting his personal journey of cooking, living, and learning from mistakes. When Choi realized that falling victim to his greasy cravings was not sustainable, he began to eat more nutritious foods--but he did it his way, to build a more realistic lifestyle not based on extreme dieting or deprivation. This equates to vegetable-forward recipes, with plenty of pit stops of comfort along the way, and tons of flavors layered in every single bite. ... Since this book is about taking steps, not leaps, there's also plenty of inspiration for when you're craving something indulgent, like crispy mashed potatoes, but with 'Power Up' modifications to make it healthier when you're ready."-- Provided by publisher.
