THE HEART OF MY KITCHEN

Food has always been a way of showing love.

I'm Italian, and my love of cooking is one way I fit the stereotype! Some of my most treasured childhood memories are of time spent with my grandmothers, watching them make everything from scratch. They showed me how much love can be shared through a meal, and the taste and smell of familiar food still bring those memories rushing back.

For me, good food is nourishment for the soul as well as for the body.

Preparing warming, nutrient-dense meals for a new mother and her family is an important part of my postnatal doula care. But I also know that sometimes families need the food without a doula visit — perhaps I am fully booked, perhaps we live too far apart, or perhaps having something delicious ready in the fridge would simply make life easier.

That is why I offer food bundles. They are not only for the first few weeks after birth. Whether you are newly postpartum or several years into motherhood, you deserve to be nourished, too.

GROWN AND PREPARED WITH CARE

From my garden to your table.

I use good-quality, locally sourced ingredients — the same food I would choose for my own family — and organic ingredients whenever possible.

Since moving to the countryside, we have been building our kitchen garden. Our hope is to grow more fruit, vegetables, pulses and herbs in ways that care for the land, and to share that abundance with our family, our local community and the families I support.

Our little flock of free-ranging hens has become part of that life, too.

Cooking with seasonal produce, especially what we have grown ourselves, is a wonderful way to bring a little of that care into each bundle.

MADE AROUND YOU

No set menu. Just thoughtful food.

Each bundle is personal. I cook with seasonal ingredients and take your dietary requirements, allergies and preferences into account. We can talk about what you enjoy eating, how many people you would like to nourish and what I can prepare at the time, keeping in mind the nutritional needs of your postpartum body.

There is no fixed price listed because every bundle is different. Please get in touch to discuss the options and current fees.

A LITTLE NOURISHMENT, MADE FOR YOU

Let's build your food bundle together.

Tell me about your family and the food that would make your days feel easier, and we can take it from there.
