Biography Wendy Cook's fascination with nutrition began during her war-time childhood. In the midst of deprivation and food rationing, the rich abundance of her mother's organic garden made a profound impression. In her twenties she married Peter Cook, and discovered the artistic and magical effects that food can have on creating a convivial atmosphere, entertaining many well known people like John Lennon, Dudley Moore, Paul McCartney. It was only later when her daughter fell ill that she came to study and understand the deeper aspects of nutrition and in particular the effects of different foods on Human health and consciousness. She has written Foodwise - a treasure of wisdom and experience for anybody with a concern for the content of the food they eat or a desire to discover more about the physical, soul, and spiritual aspects of nutrition. Her latest book is called the Biodynamic and Food Cookbook, it explains the principles behind biodynamics and places it in the context of food and cooking. This book presents over 150 recipes based on years of working with biodynamic nutrition. It studies the ethics of food and the foundations of a balanced diet. It has supplementary sections on breads, sauces, salads, sweets, drinks and much more. |
