Read MoreWhen it comes to food, the concept of "health" has become an increasingly fraught one; for proof, all you need to do is look at the many eating plans that market themselves as revolutionary new ways of making you feel good about yourself, when really, they're just...diets, which have been shown to be ineffective as a long-term means of keeping off weight. That's why cook, writer and all-around food expert Julia Turshen's new cookbook Simply Julia: 110 Easy Recipes for Healthy Comfort Food feels so revolutionary; along with powerful essays, childhood memories, and love letters to her wife Grace, Turshen's book contains recipes that prioritize taste and accessibility, not weight loss.
