The calm kitchen

Our lives have never been so hectic, so controlled by technology, so commodified. We find ourselves with less and less time to invest in nourishment - of both our bodies and our minds. Nutrition, exercise, rest - these are the first to fall by the wayside. The Calm Kitchen is more than just a recipe book. Following the four seasons, it is a beginner's guide to reconnecting with nature through food, cookery and ingredient sourcing as a form of self-care; from the soothing smell of lavender fields, to the simple magic of baking a loaf of bread on a frosty winter's night.
This book shows how mindful cooking, baking and ingredient sourcing can lead to better peace of mind, and better health and wellbeing. Featuring a blend of recipes, this is an informative and insightful guide to ingredients and how they can benefit physical and mental health. It offers a focused, food-oriented and innovative approach to self-care.
