As Featured in…
Based on my own personal experiences and a lifelong passion for food, MIND FOOD is intended to bring conversations around mental health to the table – and help people to reimagine the way they think about mental health in parallel with how they eat.
Filled with seasonal lifestyle ideas and recipes, MIND FOOD brings together several key strands to form a tangible, purposeful style of living framework through which we can improve our mental health.
Focusing on hero ingredients and the power of plants, whole grains, healthy fats and tonic herbs, MIND FOOD provides over seventy vibrant recipes that explore emotional balance and foods that can change our state of mind.
Always finding ways to elevate natural ingredients, Mind Food recipes draw on the dishes I love to cook every day, concepts that have helped me through tougher times, and also impactful recipes I've developed throughout my time in the food world. Each draws upon powerful plants and adaptogens that I believe could well provide the missing link in our mental health toolbox.
From breakfast, lunch and dinner to dessert, drinks, and beyond - MIND FOOD is a must for modern times.
