Product Description

Inspired by a friend’s quest to improve her milk supply and her discovery of lactogenic foods, Elena Cimelli created this unique cook book with food writer Jassy Davis to give new parents a one-stop collection of delicious, lactogenic meals, snacks, drinks and treats.

Drawing on Elena’s own experience of cooking and freezing meals ahead of the birth of her daughter, the majority of the meals are designed to be made and frozen in the weeks leading up to the birth of your child. All the recipes are nourishing and full of flavour and they’ll appeal to partners, children, friends and non-breastfeeding mums, too.

Customer Reviews

"The Oven-baked beetroot risotto recipe is probably the easiest and quickest way how to make a risotto. Absolutely yummy and both my husband and I loved it! And it tasted really good. Cant wait to try more of the recipes from the Contented Calf Cookbook."
- Iveta, Twickenham

"My (11 year old) daughter loves the recipes too! She's made a couple already. Simple and tasty!"
- Kathryn, near Reading

"This is a really great cookbook with some delicious, easy to cook recipes. The best thing about it is that my husband and 4-year old daughter love them too, which means we can all enjoy them together."
- Sarah, Brighton

"At the book launch we were treated to homemade multi seed bread alongside (my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE) Pea & Coconut Soup with Chilli & Lemongrass, as well as a delicious Warm Roast Vegetable & Goat’s Cheese Salad, then we feasted on Fig & Fennel Scones and Coconut Fairy Cakes, and were sent home happy and stuffed swinging a goody bag of Almond Drop Cookies. I’ve never eaten so well!"
- Richmond Mummy (Review: The Contented Calf Cookbook)

"I’ve had the book a while now and I love it! Its full of fantastic information about what a lactogenic diet is, what foods are anti-lactogenic, details on how to freeze the meals. There is a really easy key to follow for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and freezable meals. After all one of the best things you can do whilst still pregnant is freeze these meals so that you have them there for those early days post birth."
