As Gisele anticipates the launch of her cookbook, Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul, she humbly admits to not being a chef but focuses on crafting easy and nutritious meals.
The cookbook promises an array of healthy options, from gluten-free vegetable pizzas and pesto chicken lettuce wraps to nut and seed bread, catering to those with limited time but a desire to eat well.
Reflecting on her illustrious nearly three-decade-long career, Gisele reminisced about a pivotal moment that shaped her early days in the fashion industry.
At 13, moving to São Paulo marked the beginning of her journey, a transition from a small village to the bustling city, which was not without its trials. She recounted losing her wallet upon arrival and the choice she faced—to retreat or persevere.
Gisele chose the latter, a decision that fortified her for the challenges and mistreatment she would later encounter in the modeling world.
“Not everyone was kind, let’s put it that way. But I got some calluses from that first experience, it gave me a lot of strength for what was to come,” she concluded.
