HOW I CAN NOURISH YOU
Food designed to support your postpartum recovery, helping you feel nourished, held and hugged. These are not your average batch cooking frozen meals, these are deeply soothing, restorative and easily digestible options to warm and strengthen your body in the tender first days after giving birth. Slow cooked nutrient dense, rich in iron, good fats and proteins. Enriched with homemade broths, spice blends and the good dosage of doula love.
My passion and pull around caring and loving through food is rooted in my Portuguese background. I grew up in a coastal town just south of Lisbon, and some of my best memories of home revolve around food - fresh simply seasoned salads with grilled fish by the ocean with a crisp white wine, rich meat stews on cold winter Sundays at my grandmas, platters of seafood in the summer at a classic marisqueira, salted cod with a corn bread crust and roasted potatoes, grilled black pork with bread migas, juicy tomatoes with olive oil and oregano, sweet cucumbers, peas and fava beans in the pod, pastéis de nata with a single espresso coffee, the list could go on and on.
I focus on diversity, colour and taste. From soups, snacks, easy add-ons to your other meals. Everything I cook has elements of my home influences and elements of my travels and my studies around foods that can soothe your body, mind and soul - and I do believe you can taste the love and intention put into food. My main intention is to offer meals that can heal the mother/birthing person but also be enjoyed by everyone in the family, at any stage.
I also love being the channel between families and their loved ones. If you want to nourish your friends and family when they are going through pregnancy, postpartum or parenthood, but don't have the time or simply don't know where to start, I can help you to offer them a delicious bundle of food.
