Nourishing Postpartum cookbooks celebrate beloved postpartum recipes from Hawaiʻi. Each recipe comes with its own history and story, reflecting how food connects us to the land. 

Our modern food system, with its reliance on toxic practices, affects both our health and the environment. While grocery stores offer convenience, they often disconnect us from the origins of our food. This cookbook aims to shift our perspective on the food system by exploring "medicinal grade food" and introducing regenerative farming practices that promote a healthy Hawaiʻi for future generations. 

As consumers, we have a role in supporting this sustainable approach through our food choices. We begin with a discussion on important terms and concepts before diving into our soup recipes. Hawaiʻi’s rich cultural history, with influences from China, Japan, Portugal, the Philippines, Korea, and Puerto Rico, has shaped its diverse flavors. 

This book honors these cultural contributions, offering soups that nourish during the transformative postpartum period. Each recipe includes preparation instructions, personal stories, and insights into the medicinal properties and historical background of the ingredients.
