In 2007 I discovered the joy of culinary recycling when I had my
first child, Elderflower, and I decided to eat my placenta. I reserved
some for a placenta milkshake (click here for a recipe) while the remaining
afterbirth was dried and placed into capsules.
The joy I experienced at being able to nourish myself with
the same incredible organ that sustained my baby was extreme. However, it was
only the beginning, as I soon realised that the body of my new child was
capable of creating a host of nutritious – and FREE – foods that I could
consume and share.
And so I began a symbiotic relationship with my
children – as I nourished them with my body and breasts, they could reciprocate
by allowing me to take nourishment from their bodies.
I have been culinary recycling for almost eight years, and I
now wish to share my experience and recipes with you. So welcome to Baby Steps:
I hope your journey is as fulfilling and flavoursome as mine has been.
