For generations, Sri Lankan recipes have been passed from mothers and grandmothers to daughters and younger generations. They carry more than ingredients and cooking methods—they hold stories, cultural practices, and knowledge of the seasons that have nourished families for centuries.
Nourishing Peace honours this heritage and the women who keep it alive. The recipes were created with women from the MILKCOOP Society, representing 78 rural women’s groups living around the Sinharaja Rainforest.
Nourishing Peace was published by MILKCOOP Deniyaya, Sri Lanka, November 2026.
TerraCircle’s Microgrants program supported this project.
In the Solomon Islands we recommend food for the day to include:
- 25% body building foods [proteins] — eg. lean meat, fish, chicken, eggs, nuts and milk

- 50% protective foods [fruits and vegetables] — 2 fruits and 5 vegetables — fruit and vegetable like leafy greens, tomato, cucumber, capsicum, papaya, ripe bananas.
We produce this from our home sup sup gardens, our bush gardens, our lagoons and the sea. We cook it for our families using the recipes in Heiti Kaikai Cookbook.

Inside, you’ll find 55 healthy recipes designed to prevent and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes a disease that affects nearly 30% of the Marshall Islands population.
Recipes were contributed by students, teachers, PSS educators, Canvasback Wellness staff, and reviewed by Assoc. Professor Sarah Burkhart (University of Sunshine Coast, Australia).
This cookbook is more than recipes, it’s about gardening, growing fresh food, and promoting healthy habits in schools and communities across RMI. It encourages us to move, eat well, and connect with the land for stronger, healthier futures.
Healthy Futures was published by Canvasback Wellness Centre, Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands, 2025.
