The Holy Crap Cookbook by
Corin Mullins with Claudia
Howard (Douglas & McIntyre):
Local couple Corin and Brian
Mullins created Holy Crap, the
World’s Most Amazing Cereal
because they wanted delicious,
nourishing food that wouldn’t
trigger Brian’s allergies. Building on their healthy-but-tasty
philosophy, this cookbook is
filled with plant-based, glutenfree recipes.
