When Should I Start?

Anytime in the first 3 months after birth is a great time to start! Even if the baby has already been born, you can start the course based on the number of weeks post-birth. For example, if the baby was born 3 weeks ago, you can simply start the course at the Week 3 menu. 

If the birth hasn't happened yet, you can start the prep for this course 3-4 weeks before the expected birth date. This give you ample time to buy all the herbal ingredients, any equipment or sauces you are missing (shopping lists are provided in the course for all of this), and to prepare the Pork Knuckle and Eggs in Gingered Vinegar. 

How Long Will It Take To Complete?

The course has complete menus for Weeks 1 through 12, to serve the full 3-month term of the fourth trimester, because one month is truly not enough. It is up to you how long you want to follow the course-- one month is better than none.

Follow this course for as long as you can, and adapt it to your needs. There is no defined period for how long it takes to recover, and every postpartum recovery is unique. Just remember, postpartum is not just a physical recovery. Yes, these recipes focus on anti-inflammatory and iron-rich ingredients, but only part of the care you are delivering in this recovery is the nutrition. It is you giving your new parent those precious 20 minutes to wash their hair or warming up a bowl of soup and listening to the latest diaper blowout story, or providing their only adult conversation all day; this is part of the care that you are delivering with your stacked Pyrex containers. And if you are the parent who has just given birth, ask for help from you partner, your friends, your family, your community. Give them that opportunity to care for you. 🧡

Are There Any Required Resources or Prerequisites?

If you know what a wok is, can create a corn-starch slurry, and understand that light and dark soy sauce are different, you have met the prerequisites.

For any specialized ingredients or tools like Chinese herbal ingredients, or a steamer, links to purchase online and exact descriptions for you to purchase at your local store are included in the How-To Guides.

The equipment is not specialized at all, and if you have a Asian-cooking oriented kitchen already, you should have more than enough. We also have an Equipment Guide with purchase links to ensure you have everything you need.
