Class Description:
The first forty days after birth are a time of profound transition, when a mother needs nourishment as much as the baby in her arms. In this class, you’ll learn what to cook and how to prepare it to support rest, replenishment, and recovery.
You’ll learn:
The role of broths, stews, porridges, and gently cooked foods in the postpartum kitchen
How to build meals with protein, nourishing fats, and mineral-rich ingredients
Simple ways to incorporate culinary herbs and spices for flavor, warmth, and digestive support
How to prepare ahead and organize food support so a mother can focus on resting and bonding with her baby
You’ll leave with a clear foundation for feeding yourself or someone you love after birth, along with practical food and preparation ideas to bring into the kitchen.
