The fourth trimester is a season like no other — full of love, change, wonder (and a little chaos). 

We’ve chosen each ingredient in our recipes for their gentle, restorative properties — designed to support recovery, boost energy, and bring a little joy to your plate. We've used these guiding principles when developing our menu. These principles are rooted in ancestral postpartum wisdom, but guided by today's nutritional understanding.

1. Warm, Easy-to-Digest Meals

We focus on soft, slow-cooked, warming foods that are gentle on the digestive system — because postpartum digestion can be sluggish and sensitive. Think stews, soups, broths, porridges and bakes.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Ingredients

We prioritise natural anti-inflammatories like turmeric, ginger, garlic, leafy greens, and omega-3 rich seeds. These help the body recover from birth and reduces pain and swelling.

3. Blood-Building Foods

Our meals include ingredients rich in iron, B vitamins, and vitamin C — such as leafy greens, legumes, pasture-raised meats, and goji berries — to help replenish blood lost during birth.

4. Protein for Repair

Every recipe includes quality protein sources like lentils, mung dal, quinoa, slow-cooked meats or seeds to support tissue repair, hormonal recovery and breastmilk production.

5. Healthy Fats for Hormone & Milk Support

We include good fats like coconut oil, tahini, olive oil, and hemp seeds to nourish the nervous system, regulate hormones, and enrich breastmilk.

6. Support for Digestion & Gut Healing

We use prebiotic-rich foods (onions, garlic, oats), gentle fibres, broths, and stewed fruits to promote healthy digestion.

7. Hydration Through Food

We use broths, stews, and moist foods that offer hydration alongside nutrients — ideal when fluid needs are high but sipping water all day feels unrealistic.
