This cookbook focuses on real food for real life, every step of the way. Whether you are feeling good and inspired to prep healthy meals for the week, or you are feeling terrible, have nausea or heartburn, and can’t eat much, you’ll find a big selection of recipes here to light up your taste buds, satisfy your cravings, and provide essential nutrition for you and baby, plus loads of advice and tips for food prep, meal planning, choosing the most wholesome foods, and cooking up nutritious, delicious meals.

Being nourished sufficiently through pregnancy can significantly impact how you feel, how your baby develops, and how your body heals postpartum. A happy, healthy mother is the most important thing in the world to a baby. As a mom and postpartum doula, I firmly believe that you need care and attention as much as your baby. You deserve to feel good, to receive love and support, to be honoured and appreciated, and to have time to bond with your baby.

Throughout pregnancy and in the first few months postpartum, your nutrition is key to your staying well — mentally, emotionally, and physically.
