‘Fill The Freezer’ – Recipes to gift or make ahead for yourself

'Fill the Freezer' eBook
Dear Mama,
Whether you’re preparing for your own postpartum, showing love to a new mum, or simply wanting to make everyday life a little easier, food is one of the most nourishing gifts we can give. This recipe collection has been created with you in mind: quick to make, freezer-friendly, and packed with ingredients that fuel tired bodies and busy minds. Each one can be baked ahead of time for yourself or wrapped up and given as a thoughtful gift.
✨ Bonus tip: These recipes can also be printed and handed out to friends who want to help, at a baby shower, or (our favourite version) a nesting party. Invite your village to cook alongside you, so your freezer is stocked, and your heart is full.
Inside, you’ll find:
✨ A crunchy granola that doubles as breakfast or a gift in a jar
✨ A hearty, veggie-loaded bolognese for nights when cooking feels impossible
✨ A warming coconut curry with flexible protein options
✨ A soothing chicken and veg broth bowl that restores and comforts
✨ A nourishing choc-chip slice perfect for mama fuel
✨One bowl banana loaf to recharge and replenish with a cup of tea

This is truly special to witness; it's a real privilege. As I’m within the sanctuary of the family's home for up to 4 weeks, you subtly and gratefully become part of the furniture, quietly and respectfully. So as the days pass through this ancient lineage of care, you see things shift physically, which is pure biology to me, but also her smile changes as you walk through the door, her eyes are more vibrant and her skin colour changes






Thank you
