WHOLE FOODS COOKING to heal and nuture your body and soul

You can now eat to be connected and responding to the larger natural world that created us and continued to nurture us. Sure, this sounds unnerving and mere impossible but is it really?

By starting to eat natural whole foods you will soon feel more centred, peaceful and have so much more energy!

This is more than a vegetarian or vegan diet. Shokuiku introduces whole foods cooking, using healing organic / bio dynamic ingredients like unrefined grains, soy products, beans and legumes as well as fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, as well as those super foods such as goji berries, raw cocoa nibs, coconut butter, maca powder etc. What we offer is the diet that includes nutrient-rich whole foods, creating balance through an awareness of the natural energies of food, taking into consideration the individual's constitutioin and health condition. Our cooking style is based on japanese cooking, which is enhanced with contemporary and traditional ideas from cuisines around the world using macrobiotic and raw, living foods philosophy, East Asian systems and Modern nutritional knowledge.

We consider whole foods not only as something we take to satisfy our physical hunger but also to enrich the whole lifestyle and environment.

We make sure that the products we use are environment friendly (organic/bio dynamic) and fairly traded as much as possible - food ingredients as well as cleaning and serving products. Water we use for cooking is filtered.

We cannot have safe and healthy lifestyle without looking after the nature. Besides, the clean air can be so good!

about us ABOUT USWe have created this service because we believe that what we put in our mouth have a direct impact on us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It also affects our environment and surroundings that have nurtured us for so long. It makes sense that by eating foods created by nature helps us to harmonise with natural rhythms, becoming peaceful and free. Wholesome foods nourish your body as oppose to starving it with empty calories from factory made foods. Truely satisfying the body will create beautiful skin, shiny hair and more energy.Well...For me it all started when I had my daughter. Growing up so fast, absorbing so much every minutes of a day. What I did not want for her was lifeless and denatured food that may be convenient but full of preservatives and chemicals. Refined foods prevent us from keeping vital body and mind. What I wanted was high quality whole and intact foods that can clean, bulid or maintain her body and mind. Surely there are more people who would want the same thing for themselves and their love-ones?It doesn't have to be scary or difficult. You don't have to force yourself to eat it just because it is good for you. Natural wholesome food can be so pleasing to your body and tastebuds at the same time.
