We have drifted apart from the planet that sustains us and its profound connection to our well-being, contentment, and climate. In this captivating exploration, we delve into thought-provoking dialogues with inspiring thinkers and writers, accompanied by delectable seasonal recipes crafted by renowned chefs. Recipes to Reconnect serves as a guiding blueprint for a healthier and more fulfilling way of eating and living.

Organized seasonally, each conversation is thoughtfully paired with a curated selection of recipes, skillfully devised by chefs in response to the ideas explored. The themes we delve into include the intricate realm of gut health, the art of rewilding, the medicinal properties of mushrooms, sustainable farming practices, the microbiome, the importance of soil, the practice of fasting, the science of sleep, and the profound impact of mental health.

Among the delectable recipe and conversation pairings, we encounter Harry Boglione's insightful discussion on regenerative farming, seamlessly followed by Jeremy Lee's foraged creations.
