Nourishing Postpartum cookbook features cherished postpartum recipes from Hawaiʻi. Each recipe carries a history and a story, reconnecting us with the land and its traditions.

We highlight the importance of sustainable farming practices and their impact on both our health and the environment. Modern industrial practices often harm the land and our bodies, so we advocate for supporting regenerative farmers and making conscious food choices.

The cookbook begins by exploring key concepts like “medicinal grade food” and introduces regenerative farming methods. It then moves on to soup recipes, reflecting Hawaiʻi’s diverse cultural influences from Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, and other migrations.

We honor these cultural flavors and share personal stories and medicinal properties of each recipe, linking them to both family traditions and broader historical contexts.
