Essential Foods for Postpartum

Essential Foods for Postpartum

Ancestral recipes and nourishment wisdom for the sacred season after birth

Throughout history and across cultures, new mothers were fed the most nourishing foods their communities had to offer. Somewhere along the way, we lost that tradition. This book brings it back.

Essential Foods for Postpartum is a collection of the recipes I use in my own practice as a doula and postpartum chef to support the healing, rejuvenation, and nurturing of new mothers. From my home country of Colombia to Iran to India, these are foods that have nourished women for centuries.

Inside you’ll find:

• Postpartum nutrition basics: how to nourish your body after birth, and why warm, mineral-rich, slow-cooked foods matter
• A note on breastfeeding: natural foods that support milk supply
• Supplement guidance: electrolytes, magnesium, collagen, beef organs, and more, with my trusted brands
• A complete pantry staples list, so you or your loved ones can stock the kitchen before baby arrives
• 15 nourishing recipes, including:
• Ayurvedic Rice Pudding
• Spiced Bone Broth
• Bone Broth Kitchari
• Ghormeh Sabzi (Persian Herb Beef Stew)
• Ajiaco (Colombian Chicken Soup)
• Saffron Chicken Stew
• Brothy Lamb & Leek Stew
• Collagen Lattes, three ways
• Remineralizing Postpartum Herbal Tea
• Not-Your-Mother’s Lactation Cookies
• Raw Placenta Smoothie

This book is for you if you are:

• A pregnant or postpartum mother who wants to nourish herself deeply
• A partner, mother, sister, or friend who wants to feed a new mom well
• A doula or birth worker looking for trusted postpartum recipes to share
