Comments from our guests!
“Here’s how I made a major shift in my lifestyle at the age of 61. Newly retired I attended a yoga retreat at Harmony Dawn. A friend alerted me to the quote-unquote, “phenomenal” cooking to be had there. I have to admit, being a food enthusiast, I was intrigued. I was curious to see how 3 days of a totally vegetarian menu would affect me. To make a long story short, I ate everything set before me with an enormous appetite for 3 days and then lost 3 pounds the next week. My body was purring – no stomach twinges, no acid and I felt fully satisfied after every meal. No “emptiness” or stomach growling between meals. Since then I’ve followed Nicola’s inspiration in preparing vegetables and have lost 18 pounds. I do a lot more walking because I feel so much better. I don’t really eat less and I still like dessert, but my overall eating habits are just so much better.” ~Sheila Carson
“Your cookbook is a hit! I think it is wonderful, simple and easy to read. Great job! Thank you and hope to see you soon (in June).” ~ Juli Smollan
“I have to tell you that your meals were a highlight of my wonderful yet short time with you. It was truly an honour for me to be at Harmony Dawn and in your presence. I am so inspired to learn more about feng shui and a healthy home. Anyway, I want to congratulate you on such a delicious cookbook. It has inspired us to get back to mindfully creating and enjoying healthy meals. I have made a beautiful salad with the Peanut Salad Dressing, which was fantastic, the very delicious Cauliflower and Lentil stew, Sesame Sweet Potato Wedges and tonight my husband Paul, who is a passionate foodie, described the Moroccan Chickpea and Vegetable Tagine as “Unbelievable” And it is! The “what are we having for dinner” question is no longer dreaded…but eagerly anticipated. Your Chocolate Cake was discussed at length at Yoga last night,I can’t wait to make it!” ~ Anne-Marie Halliday
“Received your book in the mail yesterday. It is fantastic - I can feel the love that went into creating it! The recipes for all of my favourite meals that you have prepared are in there.....I hope when I make them they taste just as yummy as yours!” ~ Lori Tymchuk
