Nature’s Cookbook was created with the intention of learning the abundant gifts the earth provides us with and healing our collective relationship with the land. We hope that in cooking the delicious meals within these pages, and uncovering the healing powers and gifts of nature, you ask yourself what you can do for the earth.

Through community outreach, we have compiled traditional meals, drinks, and elaborate recipes from diverse cultures across the United States, directly inspired by their favorite dishes and must-have produce.

Cynthia Rico Mendoza, of Earthy Mujer, alongside Master Herbalist and Naturopath, Eva Nyrie Garrett, worked together to compile the health benefits and healing properties packed into these flavorful recipes, accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Lynda Grafito. For a limited time, we are giving away free stickers featuring Lynda Grafito's art and printed cookbooks via the signup form below!
