Kate's Recipes for Living

A Cookbook for the Body, Heart, and Soul.

After the sudden death of her daughter, Kate Rabinowitz found herself catapulted into an unbearable reality. A simple plate of vital sautéed chard symbolized a pathway forward. That moment revealed what this book captures: the quiet power of food and nature to heal, to ground, and to connect with ourselves and others.

Kate’s Recipes for Living is more than a cookbook. It’s a deeply personal memoir, a practical guide, and a luminous illustration of resilience. Through heartfelt stories, nourishing recipes, and her own watercolor paintings, Kate invites readers into the kitchen as a sacred place–one where body, mind, and spirit are fed.

Drawing from decades of study and teaching in yoga, nutrition, cooking, and healing, as well as global travel and motherhood, Kate shares seasonal, soulful dishes rooted in Ayurvedic and macrobiotic traditions, gourmet cuisine, family classics, and improvisation.

This book isn’t only about what we eat–it’s about how we live. With tenderness and clarity, Kate shows us how to meet life’s uncertainties with presence, how to cook with intention, and how to find meaning in the smallest rituals of care.

Whether you’re cooking for a crowd or simply for yourself, Kate’s Recipes for Living will nourish you–body and soul–one meal at a time.
