Thank you for purchasing my book.

My intention in writing this book was with both yours, and my, health in mind.

Over the past years, the canned and processed foods we are expected to eat have fallen substantially short of the nutrients the human body requires to function at its optimal peak.

After having a stroke at the age of 16 months, I am very aware of what keeps the body operational, and what does not! With this in mind, and whenever possible, I always use fresh organic ingredients.

Cooking, however, must also include a psychological component.
When cooking any well-thought-out recipe, purchase your ingredients the day before you start.

Switch off your devices, put your phone on answer, take a deep breath, and then slow down.

Turn your attention to the peeling, cutting, and cooking.
Concentrate on the sounds, feelings, tastes, and aromas in your kitchen.

In short, become meditative with your actions as you progress through each step.

Once completed, invite your family and friends to your table.
Bask in your presentation, your aromas, your rich flavours, and in the great comments you will receive from those you love.

I want you to be as proud of your creations...
as I am of mine.

"So together, let's cook!"
