In January 2020 we were in Chile, taking part in Alberto Villoldo’s Grow a New Body program. We arrived tired and feeling depleted. Seven days of healing later, we had been rejuvenated like never before. We flew back to Europe to find a changing world, one of isolation and lockdown. We relocated to Kaplankaya on the Aegean shores of Turkey where our friend Conny Anderson had taken residence. Through those days and months, Conny took care of us and our community. We ate well and stayed healthy. The partnership behind this cookbook is a match made in heaven. This book will spread the magical healing energy of this duo through incredible recipes that will make you lick your fingers and eat your way to a healthy life.
