Description

"The world is changing, and I am in the kitchen roasting carrots with olive oil, salt, and love. The silver kettle is just beginning to steam, and a glass vat of sage honey awaits the dip of my Grandma Lena's long, golden spoon." -Jules Blaine Davis The kitchens we grew up with set the template for how we nourish ourselves today. It is in the kitchen that we learn to create, feed, connect, grieve, taste, long, and love. Look at your relationship with your kitchen, and you uncover the unconscious recipe guiding your life. With The Kitchen Healer, Jules Blaine Davis invites women to find greater nourishment in body and soul by deepening their relationships with the hearth of the home, the kitchen. Though the book contains recipes-with ingredients both traditional and emotional-this is not a cookbook. This is a book about cooking up the life we deeply long to live. Davis believes that how we were or weren't nourished in our childhood kitchens shapes every aspect of our lives today, and it is through the kitchen that we may find healing from the stress, trauma, guilt, and overwhelm that so many of us carry through our lives. Through heartfelt guidance and photographs that perfectly capture the love and chaos our kitchens contain, Davis shows us that by making the kitchen the centerpiece of our homes, we are nourished far beyond food and cooking.
