I recently put together a few words in support of an application to The Observer’s ‘Britain’s New Radicals’ competition. It has helped to articulate what is going on with this website. There is a vision behind it, which I’d like to share with you.
We are part of a social revolution. Where is this revolution taking place? At home, in the (wholefood) kitchen.
Our intention is to help facilitate this revolution through an exploration of our relationship with food and engagement with wholefood cooking. Our vision is for a return to traditional values and ways of being, where the kitchen and the cooking and sharing of food regains its place at the heart of our lives. Where food, and our relationship with food, becomes a source of inspiration, joy and creativity, and provides a foundation for personal, family and community health and wellbeing.
what is wholefood kitchen all about?
The wholefood kitchen website is a place for conversation about wholefood cooking. It provides insights from pioneers in the field, and connects people with cooking as an activity which supports personal growth and transformation, by facilitating a reconnection with our own biological integrity. The website was set up to support this proposition, challenge some beliefs and assumptions about food and nutrition, and inspire others to engage more fully with their relationship with food.
who is it for?
The website is for people who are interested in exploring their relationship with food, discovering the joy and magic of wholefood cooking and the power it has to transform our lives. Above all, it is for people who would like food to support them to fulfill their potential.
what is the purpose of wholefood kitchen?
To bring an understanding of a integral approach to nutrition to a wider audience. To reflect cooking’s importance as a daily act of creation, a celebration of life, family and community. To provide a place for wholefood and macrobiotic cooking pioneers and enthusiasts to connect. To provide avenues for people to develop a relationship with food and cooking which supports their health and wellbeing.
