“What sets this book apart is its seamless fusion of modern science, traditional wisdom, and culinary practicality. It not only tells readers what to eat — but also how and why. With accessible guidance and nourishing recipes, Jessica and her team have created a roadmap that empowers individuals to use food as a daily tool for transformation — especially for managing conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and beyond.
At its core, Healing Plates is a celebration of culinary medicine — the vital link between nutritional science and the art of cooking. As healthcare continues to evolve toward a more integrative, proactive, and personalized model, this book emerges as an essential resource. It equips individuals to take charge of their own well-being and reminds healthcare professionals that true healing often begins with what we place on our plate.”

“These stories—of Max, Madam Lim, Yuki, Ethel, Huat Beng, Kak Radiah and many others—are more than just anecdotal. They are windows into a deeper truth: healing begins with what we place on our plate. These individuals reclaimed their health, not through miracle cures, but through the humble, consistent power of whole, plant-based foods. Whether reversing diabetes, managing blood pressure, regaining strength after a stroke, or overcoming cancer, their stories illustrate the profound impact of dietary and lifestyle transformation.”
“Enrolling in a Culinary Medicine course changed that. While Chee Sang had previously found cooking daunting and time-consuming, the four days of practical, hands-on sessions transformed his mindset. Not only did he discover that cooking could be simple and enjoyable — he found joy in the process of creating meals that could nourish and heal.
The impact was almost immediate. Within a month, Chee Sang’s average blood pressure dropped from 145/90 to 130/80, even while still on medication.”
