Food-Lover's Cleanse 2014

Food-Lover's Cleanse 2014

If the Food Lover's Cleanse has taught Sara Dickerman anything, it's that breakfast, often a time for comfort and tradition, can also be full of variety.

The menu for day 13 of the Food Lover's Cleanse features fried eggs with farrotto, an avocado-grapefruit salad, coconut-scented rice, tofu stir-fry, and citrus.

If the Food Lover's Cleanse is partly about learning to eat in season, then, as Sara Dickerman reports, getting a pot of soup on the stove is only natural.

No processed food in the Food Lover's Cleanse? Well, as Sara Dickerman finds out, cooking healthily means processing a heck of a lot of raw ingredients.

An Asian-inspired marinated chicken is the star of Day 6's Cleanse menu. Plus, "quinoatmeal," squash, coconut-scented black rice, and garlicky bok choy.

Five days into the Food Lover's Cleanse, Sara Dickerman takes on the subject of textural contrast—just as important, she says, as how food actually tastes.
