About Us
THE ULTIMATE LUXURY
How we view luxury is changing. We have finally come to understand that money can not buy health, happiness, or peace of mind. Our food is one of the cornerstone's of our joy and health. Our wellbeing is the ultimate luxury in this life and food is the sacred medicine. From the sourcing, to prayers while cooking, and the presentation of our creations, we teach intentionality and show how to infuse sweetness into the food we select, make and eat. Food brings healing to ourselves and others. Recipes are easy to follow and can be easily learned. However, the ingredients of joy and love are the less tangible but essential elements of food preparation and eating. Come and learn a new way of cooking, eating and living with The People's Food Revolution.

The Seed
"What happens to the seed affects the web of life. When seed is living, regenerative and diverse, it feeds pollinators, soil organisms and animals - including humans. When seed is non-renewable, bred for chemicals, or genetically engineered diversity disappears.
Organic seeds and organic farming do not just protect human health; they protect the health and wellbeing of all." Vandana Shiva

"Imagine if we had a food system that actually produced wholesome food. Imagine if it produced that food in a way that restored the land. Imagine if we could eat every meal knowing these few simple things: What it is we’re eating. Where it came from. How it found its way to our table. And what it really cost. If that was the reality, then every meal would have the potential to be a perfect meal. " Michael Pollen

The Delivery Chain
Complexity is increased where there are many different crops and food types, each with its own distinctive and often fragmented supply chain. Moreover, consumers are increasingly concerned about where their food comes from and pay great attention to whether it is produced responsibly, from farm to fork, from a social justice perspective and also regarding food safety standards.

Who is cooking your food? Are they are a lover? Are they sad? Is it a job? Is it a 'brand' or is it a love note?
If we do not know how the person who cooks our food really cares about themselves and their world we
Where there is love, there is no question. Where there is a question, there is a business, not love.

A 90 year old man was asked what he regretted in his long life. " I wish I had eaten more of my wife's delicious apple pie. I was always watching my waistline and kept denying myself the love she cooked into that pie." On your deathbed you will not remember the chocolate cake you said no too but you may come face to face with the love you denied yourself. When you judge your food, you eat your judgements".
Prayers
Food is God personified
Aham Vaishvānaro Bhutvā Prāñinām Ḍehamāshritaha
Prāñāpāna Samāyuktah Pachāmyannam Chaturvidham
Prayer is a beautiful way to reconnect with the spirit of food and its medicine. Cooking and eating with a serene and thankful mind directly connects us to food as nourishment on many levels.
If we offer our food to Source/God it becomes a consecrated offering. Prayer cleanses the food of it 'impurities - it transmutes any absence of cleanliness of the vessel, absence of cleanliness of the food product, and an impurity in the process of cooking. Put simply, everything is connected and pure food goes into the making of a pure mind. It is not possible to ensure the purity of the cooking process because we do not know what thoughts that rage in the mind of the personwho prepares the food. Similarly, how can we truly ensure the cleanliness of the food ingredients - we do not know whether it was acquired in a righteous way by the person who sold it to us. , If we offer food to God in the form of prayer we ensure that we do not poison our mind.
