ABOUT MILA’S MEALS

At its heart, Mila’s Meals is a way of life. It is about choosing to prepare your family’s food from fresh, locally sourced ingredients. It is about choosing to use food as medicine, not only as fuel. It is about choosing to nourish your children’s growing bodies, not just to fill their tummies. It is about having a plateful (or a handful) of nutrient-dense foods and a day full of soul foods (love, spirituality, movement and play). It is about traditional foods (ferments and bone broths), traditional ways (barefoot in the soil and bare skin in the sunshine), traditional medicine (herbs, tinctures and essential oils) – all while living in the modern world with its stresses, busyness and working parents (and its superfoods, blenders and dehydrators!). It is about digestion and absorption, the immune system, the gut and the awesome bacteria we want to live there! Mila’s Meals is about the little ones & their future. It is about us as parents doing our very best to ensure optimal growth and vibrant health – and perhaps even healing ourselves in the process! (Our children will be our greatest teachers if we listen to them!) It is about unlearning what the pharmaceutical, agricultural and food industry have led us to believe. It is about becoming a food detective. It’s about creating new “normal”. It is about delicious and nutritious whole foods and a delicious and nutritious whole life. Mila’s Meals ambition, is to be a call to action for every parent. For you to be conscious of what you are feeding your little ones, and to provide a guideline on how to go about this as effectively, effortlessly and joyfully as possible.


Mila’s Meals: The Beginning & The Basics has been won 7 international book awards including:


  • Gourmand ‘Best In The World’ Award – First Book Category

Catherine is deeply passionate about empowering parents to make informed decisions with regards to what they feed their children and themselves, and she firmly believes that food can be “the best form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.” Catherine wants all parents to consider the question “Do you want to fill your children’s tummies, or nourish their bodies?"
