San Diego, Calif. (Jan. 12, 2010) – Lucy Postins, pet nutritionist and founder of The Honest Kitchen®, an all-natural, human-grade pet products company, today announced the release of her first cookbook, Made out of Love: Recipes to prepare for (and sometimes share with) your animal companion. Made out of Love includes nourishing recipes for toppings, treats, main dishes, raw, and functional cuisines that pet owners can make for their four-legged friends at home.
To celebrate the launch of Made out of Love, 10 percent of book sale profits will be donated to the Morris Animal Foundation. The Denver-based nonprofit helps animals worldwide enjoy longer, healthier lives by advancing health and welfare studies that protect, treat and cure companion animals, horses and wildlife.
“We are so pleased that The Honest Kitchen has chosen to support our vision of creating a healthier tomorrow for animals,” said Patricia N. Olson, DVM, PhD, president/CEO of the Foundation. “This partnership is fitting because the first two studies that Morris Animal Foundation funded more than 60 years ago looked at improving nutrition in cats and dogs.”
With extensive experience as a companion animal nutritionist, Postins is passionate about advanced nutrition and holistic health including complementary care such as herbalism and traditional Chinese medicine, both of which are reflected in recipes throughout the book.
“Preparing homemade meals for pets is a radically new concept for many people, but a simple and easy way to enhance the health of our four-legged friends,” said Postins. “At The Honest Kitchen, we’re committed to helping pet guardians become truly involved in their pets’ lives, and I hope these recipes will help empower owners to positively affect the health and wellbeing of their animal companions.”
In addition to nutritionally-balanced recipes for cats and dogs, and those that parents can share with their pets, Made out of Love also contains recipes for using food as medicine, targeting conditions such as itchy skin, stress, diabetes, fleas and more. Some recipes contain The Honest Kitchen products. If you would like to try a sample, please email questions@thehonestkitchen.com.
Made out of Love retails for $14, and is available online at www.TheHonestKitchen.com and through authorized The Honest Kitchen retailers. The Honest Kitchen is available at more than 1,700 resellers in the U.S. and Canada as well as several online retailers. For more information, please visit www.TheHonestKitchen.com.
