Alchemical Nourishment
We branded our business Cooking Alchemy, not only because we are in a period of the resurgence. Our aim is reconnecting and strengthening our bond with one of nature’s greatest gifts, our food and to reclaim nourishment as our birthright. So what does Alchemy have to do with cooking? What does Alchemy have to do with anything? Nothing and everything….
Got Soul?
Of course you do! Bring it! To the kitchen… Where there is flow. There is magic. And YOU are part of this beautiful design. Creating soul food is more about what is inside of us, and less about what we are cooking with. Infuse the best parts of yourself into the mix. Become a soulful cook!
Cooking your way into higher awareness
By now, you may or may not have figured out that spending more time trying to wrap your head around the best way to eat, places to eat, fats to avoid, calories to count and carbs to cancel, is probably not the best use of time. Spending top dollar may not save you either. It is probably the most technical, treadmill…
Unleashing the inner cook
I would have loved to write more about healing foods and share beautiful captures of delicious food, but, there is sense of priority to talk about the actual art of cooking. The month is almost over, but not without a lot of sprouting and synchronicities, especially when it comes to Cooking. Along with Michael Pollan’s new book, Cooked, Mark Bittman…
Foodcycling: Reinventing leftovers
Polenta Fries & Roasted Red Pepper Brussel Sprouts Most of us have done it a time or two, requested or served breakfast foods for dinner. It’s not only fun, it’s a great way to recycle and reinvent meals. I know most kids love the idea. A critical component to what we do at Earth’s Elements is “FOODCYCLING”, a low-waste, cost-effective…

Even the best foods will not have the power to transform us. Not on their own, at least and not without us as a conduit. Not…
Heal your Throat… Eat Soup
I am. I am a sucker for Soups & Stews especially during the colder months. Soups are such a great food because they represent all the elements working in harmony. They help us stay grounded and fluid, warm and cool all at the same time. They resonate nothing less than balance. Balance of earth and water, fire and air. And…
Expanding the Heart with Green Foods
Once we have incorporated root vegetables for grounding, oils and fats for flowing, and carbohydrates for transformation, we spiral up to reach the center of our energy system, our heart chakra. This is where the highest vibration can be found. This is where love emanates through our hand chakras to prepare food with contemplation, to heal and touch the world…
The Lost Ritual of Eating
Eating, along with cooking, is a sacred ritual worthy of the highest priority on our list of to do’s. The energy surrounding the food and infused into the food, takes precedence to the actual food itself. Moving past the notion that food is only a means to satisfy an immediate physical need, we can admit that we, at some point,…
