The Yogic Kitchen
The Yogic Kitchen offers a quiet argument for a food-as-medicine approach to health, based on the ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda. Yoga is good for your body and so too is its sister philosophy, Ayurveda. Tried and tested over thousands of years, this ancient Indian food-as-medicine practice can heal and restore you, bringing balance to your system.
In The Yogic Kitchen, Ayurvedic health coach, skilled cook and passionate yoga teacher Jody Vassallo, offers you a 100 recipes as well as a wholistic guide to Ayurveda that shows you how to identify which of the three main constitutions (or doshas) you are and how you can support your dosha with the right food medicine.
Packed full of diagnostic charts and gentle advice on the Ayurvedic way, The Yogic Kitchen translates Jody’s passion for good food and good health (as well as stylish living), into recipes that do all the work for you. This book illustrates the power of the right ingredients to bring balance to the digestive system and the mind as well as joy to the tastebuds.
Brave-Bottomed Wombat
The Brave-Bottomed Wombat is a story of hope. It was written to help children process their feelings around the fires. It acknowledges that the animals too felt the fear they experienced, it explains how they got through those smoke filled days and how they gathered together to support each other. The story tells how humans found them and helped them fix their wounds and return them to the homes. There is an element of humour in the wombat story so kids can get back in touch with their playful essence and understand that everyone who experienced the fires will have some reminder. The Brave-Bottomed wombats reminder is on her bum!
