Introduction

As a consummate lover of food and cooking, yoga practitioner and teacher of yoga, I have always been interested in healing foods and yogic health. Recently, my interest became more passionate as my friends and I embarked on a culinary healing adventure to cook healing foods that would support and sustain our dear friend Glenn as he went through chemo and liver cancer. We lovingly prepared foods that would support his liver, sustain him and stave off nausea. It was a gift of love for Glenn, but it was a bigger gift of awareness for me as I realized the healing power of food, and the even bigger gift of friends coming together to cook for an important purpose.

I have now started this blog to share healing recipes, great food research sites and tips about healing foods for anyone in need of healing and comfort foods. I am grateful for all of my family and friends who allowed me to cook for them as they made their way through illness, chemo, broken hearts and grieving, and for those whose comfort foods sustained me in tough times--especially my amazing and loving mother. Her delicious cooking and recipes are some of the best medicine out there.

Please feel free to comment or ask questions about healing foods. I have been inspired by some incredible, insightful yoga teachers, healers, cooks and nutrition sites. I am happy to share what I have learned.

With Love and Healing Energy,
