Some of the lifestyle habits he encourages include making meal preparation at home a priority, purchasing organic food-which he explains can be affordable-and focusing on a plant-based approach to eating. Unlike some of DiSpirito’s previous books, which were more diet and weight-loss focused, his current book is more lifestyle focused and provides guidance on creating healthy habits that are sustainable throughout life. “We know about the healthy benefits of this style of eating now, but for them it really was just a way of life.” “It is really a return to the principles of how my grandparents ate, which was a mostly Mediterranean plan full of fresh vegetables and fruit, healthy fats and with small portions of high-quality organic meats, poultry and seafood and limited dairy and added sugars,” says DiSpirito. His personal journey to improve his health and lose weight has also affected and transformed his culinary career and mission to inspire others to go “back to the basics” and eat nutritious, seasonal and organic food. His latest cookbook, which showcases over 200 mostly plant-based, gluten-free, dairy-free and no-sugar-added recipes, is like taking a glimpse into DiSpirito’s kitchen and diet. What is a holiday meal at home like when you’re friends and family of a James Beard award-winning chef? For those close to Rocco DiSpirito, it involves a meal that is both healthy and delicious, which also happens to be the title of his 13th cookbook, Rocco’s Healthy + Delicious, released in October.
