Nourishing Postpartum: Jook Edition
Nourishing Postpartum cookbooks share cherished pregnancy and postpartum recipes from Hawaiʻi. Each recipe reflects its history, connecting us to the land, farming traditions, and diverse communities.
We emphasize the importance of sustainable food practices. Modern industrial methods can harm the environment and our health, so we advocate for regenerative farming and mindful food choices.
This cookbook covers essential concepts like “medicinal grade food” and introduces you to regenerative farmers in Hawaiʻi. Understanding how food is grown and processed helps us reconnect with our food system and make impactful choices.
We also explore Hawaiʻi’s rich cultural influences from the 1800s, when migrations brought diverse flavors to the islands. Our recipes honor these traditions and aim to support you during pregnancy and postpartum.
