Our beloved mother, friend and loved one passed away this year.
Leaving a hole in many people’s hearts. Just because she has left us in this
world does not mean she has left our mind, body or soul.
One of her greatest passions was health. With the guidance and information
our mother taught us, we are creating a book titled ‘A Mothers Medicine’ that
will not only be a memorium to our mother but also share insight and
delicious, practical recipes on healthy eating. A famous quote that she lived
by was……
“Let food be thine medicine
And let medicine be thine food.”
Hippocrates, Father of Modern Medicine
This book will face us in the right direction and introduce its readers to a
whole new way of eating and gets us to think and question ………
What are we putting into our bodies?
Is it fortifying or damaging us?
Is our food perhaps a cause for our health concerns?
It has changed the way we (her children) look at and eat food. It is our hope
that the recipes and insights learnt from this book nourishes our body, mind
and soul and educates us into a whole new way of eating.
By contributing to the creation of this book. The aim is that this book is just
the beginning of this project and hope that through all the contributions from
you and the rest of the community the project grows in as many ways as
possible.
We are aiming to raise a total of $40,000.
This will go to the creation of the book and printing 200 copies only.
The book will be a coffee table quality book that will feature 25 recipes.
Any proceeds created from this project will be going to Our Big Kitchen. A
community run kitchen located in Bondi, Sydney. With support from
volunteers they prepare meals that are distributed to needy people from all
walks of life.
