Nourished

The recipe collection for every stage of this season, from the months before conception through to the fourth trimester. Nourished is a 108-page digital collection of 100 recipes by Ema Taylor, naturopath and clinical nutritionist, built around the way your body's needs actually change across preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum.

Because you do not eat the same way trying to conceive as you do through first-trimester nausea, or in the depleted weeks after birth. Each stage has its own recipes, its own weekly basket guides, and a full freezer batch-cooking section to fill your freezer before baby arrives. Grounded in Ema's decade in clinic, where the first question she asks every woman is what she is eating, and shaped into something you can actually cook from on a hard day.

Not a cookbook. A recipe collection designed around the nutritional demands of each stage, so the food is always working for where your body is right now.

Nourished is a digital recipe collection spanning preconception through to postpartum, written by Ema Taylor, naturopath and clinical nutritionist, with over a decade of clinical experience in fertility and maternal health.

Food has always been at the centre of Ema's clinical practice. Before supplements, before protocols, before any other conversation, she asks women what they are eating. Not to judge, and not to prescribe a perfect diet, but because food is the most consistent, most available, and most underrated tool we have for supporting a woman's body through the most demanding years of her reproductive life.

Most recipe resources for this season treat it as one long stretch, as though nourishing yourself while trying to conceive is the same as nourishing yourself through nausea, or through the fragmented weeks after birth. It is not. Nourished was built around the differences. Each stage has its own recipes, developed to complement the distinct needs of that phase, so what you cook is always matched to what your body is actually doing.

It is organised into six stages, and you do not need to cook them in order.

Preconception. Recipes built around the months before your body is asked to do anything: colour, variety, good fats, and the ingredients Ema comes back to again and again in clinic. The one window where you are nourishing your body with the appetite and energy to do it well.

First trimester. Recipes for the hard days, when foods you loved turn on you and the smell of cooking is enough some days. Cold where cold helps, bland where bland matters, low on smell, and forgiving on the days standing at the stove is out of the question.

Second trimester. Recipes for the return of appetite, when nausea settles and your body moves into its most demanding stretch of building. Protein at every meal, iron from whole foods, and meals genuinely worth looking forward to.

Third trimester. Recipes for a smaller stomach, smaller in volume but not in value. Gentle on digestion, quick to put together, for a stage when there is simply less room and less energy for long stretches in the kitchen.

Batch cooking for postpartum. A freezer section done now, in the third trimester, so there is nourishing food ready before baby arrives. Every recipe freezer-friendly, batch-friendly, and built to be reheated and eaten one-handed. A full freezer before birth is worth more than almost anything else you prepare.

Postpartum. Recipes for the fourth trimester, built for meals that happen one-handed, standing up, often cold, and rarely when you planned them. Some no-cook, some under ten minutes, all designed to actually get eaten, because the most nourishing meal is the one that makes it to you.

Nourished is an educational and nutritional resource. It does not constitute personal medical advice and does not replace your midwife, GP, or obstetrician.

  • 100 recipes spanning preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum

Nourished is for anyone nourishing themselves through this season, at any point in it, whether this is your first pregnancy or your fourth.

It is for you if:

  • You are trying to conceive and want to build a strong nutritional foundation while you have the appetite for it
  • You are deep in first-trimester nausea and need recipes built for what you can actually keep down
  • You want to eat well for the building phase but are tired of working out what that means meal to meal
  • You are heavily pregnant, uncomfortable after a full meal, and want food that is gentle and quick
  • You want a full freezer before birth, prepared while you still have the energy to cook
  • You are in the postpartum fog and need meals that get made by someone else, or pulled from the freezer at the end of a long day
  • You like knowing your food is matched to what your body is actually doing at each stage

Whether you are cooking with care this week or managing a smoothie and a handful of nuts, this is the collection to keep close through every stage. Both count.

Nourished Through Every Stage

Nutrition in this season is not about eating perfectly. It is about eating consistently and intentionally, giving your body what it needs at each stage. Nourished is built for exactly that, with recipes matched to where your body is, from the months before conception through to recovery.

The one window where you are nourishing your body before it is asked to do anything. No nausea to work around yet, no bump changing how you eat, just the chance to build a strong nutritional foundation while you have the appetite and the energy for it. These recipes lean into that: colour, variety, good fats, and the ingredients Ema comes back to again and again in clinic. You do not need to cook all of them. One or two a week is a real start.

The first trimester rewrites the rules of eating. Foods you loved turn on you, the smell of cooking is enough some days, and the gap between what you know you should eat and what you can actually keep down feels wide. These recipes live in that gap. Cold where cold helps, bland where bland matters, low on smell, and forgiving on the days standing at the stove is out of the question. The goal is not a perfect diet. It is keeping something down and being kind to yourself about the rest.

For most women the second trimester is when eating becomes a pleasure again. The nausea settles, hunger comes back, and your body moves into its most demanding stretch of building. This is the season to eat well and enjoy it: protein at every meal, iron from whole foods, and meals genuinely worth looking forward to.

By late pregnancy there is simply less room. Big meals stop working and the energy for long stretches in the kitchen is gone. What your body still wants is steady nourishment in a form that does not sit heavily, so these recipes are smaller in volume but not in value, gentle on digestion, and quick to put together. Most come together in under 30 minutes.

The batch-cooking section asks something unusual: cook for a version of yourself a few weeks ahead. In the early days after birth, cooking is close to impossible, and having nourishing food ready without anyone having to make it is one of the most useful things you can set up in advance. Done now, in the third trimester, and stored in the freezer. Every one freezer-friendly, batch-friendly, and built to be reheated one-handed.

Postpartum eating is fragmented in a way nothing prepares you for. Meals happen one-handed, standing up, often cold, and rarely when you planned them. Your body is recovering, and if you are feeding, working hard on top of that, which makes steady nourishment matter more, not less. Some of these recipes are no-cook. Some take under ten minutes. All of them are designed to actually get eaten.

100 recipes across six stages: preconception, first trimester, second trimester, third trimester, a freezer batch-cooking section for postpartum, and postpartum itself. Each stage has its own recipes, matched to what your body needs at that point. It is written to dip in and out of, cooking from whichever stage you are in.

No. Nourished covers the whole season, from the months before conception through to postpartum, so wherever you are, there is a section written for exactly that point. Many women buy it early and cook from it right through.

No. They are built for real life at each stage, which often means the opposite of complicated. Some postpartum recipes are no-cook or under ten minutes. The third trimester recipes mostly come together in under 30. The point is food that actually gets made.
