Cooling recipes for every meal — finger foods to family dinners, congee to icy poles — for eczema-prone kids and the whole family.
A food-first, whole-home framework — a sensible, cooling, calming way to eat and live. Not a cure, and not a substitute for your GP, dietitian or TCM practitioner.
Our girls got the same red, hot, itchy skin read two ways — and two sets of food advice that didn’t always line up. So every recipe here has to pass through both lenses at once.
The Western lens. We lower the histamine load so a sensitive, eczema-prone child isn’t reacting to what’s on the plate.
The TCM lens. We choose foods that cool and drain the damp-heat pattern behind the flare, instead of feeding it.
Where the two frameworks overlap — low enough in histamine and cooling in the TCM sense — is where we cook most nights. Where they disagree, we tell you.
More than a recipe collection — a whole system for finding what settles your child’s skin.
Every ingredient marked for both lenses, so you can build a meal at a glance.
One traffic-light list and a Venn that shows exactly where the two frameworks meet.
Every dish has its own flare-tracking page, plus a full Food & Flare Diary at the back.
A whole-home guide to bathing, water, damp & mould, laundry, and everything that touches the skin.
A drinks chapter of gentle, cooling brews for hot little bodies — and tired mums.
A simple food-detective method to help you spot what’s setting the skin off.
Instant digital download — yours to keep, on every device. Two editions: cook it by hand, or straight from your Thermomix.
Founding price is live for launch week — it lifts once the first reviews are in.
It’s an instant digital download. The moment your payment goes through, you’ll get a download link on screen and by email — no waiting, no postage.
The recipes are the same. The Standard edition is written for any kitchen; the Thermomix edition rewrites every method for the Thermomix. The Complete Kitchen gives you both.
A beautifully laid-out PDF that reads well on your phone, tablet or laptop — and prints cleanly if you like a hard copy on the bench.
No. It’s a food-first, whole-home framework to help you eat and live in a calmer, cooler way — not a substitute for your GP, dietitian or TCM practitioner.
Always follow your medical team first. If your child has a diagnosed food allergy or any risk of anaphylaxis, check every recipe against their plan before cooking.
