New Cookbook Coming Soon: The Spiced Plate, Global Cuisine Made Simple
The same structure, real dishes first, low carb alternatives in the notes, applied to the food I grew up chasing across menus and markets.
By Monika L. Jensen · · Updated

The Balanced Plate was about the food my family eats on a Tuesday. The Spiced Plate is about the food I chase when I travel: Moroccan tagines, Thai curries, Mexican salsas, Indian braises, Levantine grills.
What stays the same
- Every recipe written as the complete dish, with a low carb alternative in the notes.
- Full nutrition facts per serving.
- Full-color photography for every recipe.
What is new
A spice pantry chapter that teaches you to build eight foundational blends yourself, so the whole book runs on ingredients you already own. Global cooking gets expensive when every recipe demands a new jar; this removes that.
When
Release is planned for later this year. Join the newsletter below and you will hear about the pre-order before anyone else, along with two sample recipes.
