Evie's Kitchen,by Shazzie

"Evie’s Kitchen: Raising an ecstatic child offers an abundance of recipes for raw food, “recipes to love your child to life”. But Evie’s Kitchen is much more than a recipe book. It is a book that gives voice to nature's wisdom on a wide range of subjects, including natural birthing (ecstatic birthing), breastfeeding (ecstatic feeding), attachment parenting (ecstatic parenting), co-sleeping (you get the idea), natural immunity, natural detox, natural first-aid, even the de-institutionalization of education. Yes, it’s true, and we've always known it: schools are institutional daycare." -- Jock Doubleday, writer and natural man

Eagerly awaited by grown ups all over the world. Finally, an easy yet comprehensive guide to raising a child on raw food -- successfully

What is Evie's Kitchen?

Evie's Kitchen by Shazzie is a comprehensive guide to raising a child as naturally as possible in the western world. Shazzie examines the breastfeeding culture, the benefits of raw food, and the nutritional challenges of raising a child as a vegan. With a depth of research never published before in vegan literature, Shazzie works out the supplements needed to raise a child healthy, vegan and raw. Her final conclusions in her journey may startle you!

The recipes start with "first foods" and then progress to foods and meals that children and adults alike will love. In fact, if you don't have a child in your life, you'll love this book just for the recipes! Check out the following, including Russell Brand's hair fell on my plate, My mate, Golden nuggets, Muffins w' stuffin, Golden brown texture like sun and Joe's ecstatic faked beans.

About Evie

Evie was born in 2004 and was breastfed on cue up until her fourth birthday. She is not vaccinated, she co-slept until she wanted her own bed, and she wasn't put down at all in the first three months of her life. She never tried any cooked food until she was past two years of age. Then she tried a couple of cooked things but was immediately ill as her body went into action detoxifying the food! Now, at aged four, she eats some cooked wholefoods, but mostly she is still raw. She is well adusted, happy, psychic, super healthy and extremely beautiful. About Shazzie

I felt compelled to contact you after receiving Evies Kitchen. As I opened the envelope and held your book I could literally feel the love that has been poured into this project. As I flicked through the pages I felt soft tears spring to my eyes. It is stunning in looks and content. Thankyou for being so authentic, honest and real...I could go on as I really relate to most of what you talk about. I wanted to thankyou for your courage and generosity, and congratulate you on the wonderful parenting you are clearly giving Evie. She looks great and I can imagine her and [my son] having a blast.

Wow. I was bleary eyed this morning! having been reading Evies kitchen into the night! Well it has been a powerful full moon energy, and I didnt feel into sleep so readily as usual, so what nicer thing to do!! Dear ones the book is the best ever. The presentation is beautiful, really beautiful. The layout, functionability and ease of reference is just perfect. Lovely intimacy of communion and Shazzies personal touch weaves its way throughout the book. Shazzie shares her 'story' with a depth that touched my heart deeply. I have just rung shazzies mummy and ordered 6 to gift to those I love the bestest. Remember the gifts that move people and touch their inner being are what true gifting is all about. Thankyou Shazzie for your best ever book. And bless you Evie for being the princess you are! Gorgeous piccies of the whole family and some heart feeling pictures of Admmmm too.
