How to make healthy choices every day
I have had the pleasure of writing two cookbooks, My New Roots, and Naturally Nourished. It has been an immensely gratifying experience taking the spirit of my blog into the third dimension! My New Roots is my first book baby. It opens with the techniques […]
Golden Circle Retreats was born out of my dream to create a place for people to go and reconnect with nature, food, the mind-body-spirit, each other, and above all, themselves. I consciously curated the Wild Heart High Spirit program to combine nourishing plant-based meals, inspiring […]
My passion is food, all aspects of it, and especially the creative process of celebrating food through photography. I am awestruck by the psychedelic cross section of a cabbage, the vibrancy of fruit flesh, the beautiful mess left after a good meal. I want […]
When I saw the number, I couldn’t believe it: 29 hours. It was undoubtedly going to be one of the longest travel days of my life. I’ve been to Bali twice before, but always from Copenhagen, which is about half the distance from Toronto. […]

I’ve now been blogging for eleven years (11years!!!). And in those eleven years, you know what I’ve learned about you? You love sweet potatoes. You love tahini. And you love sauce. And if I post anything with those things – or even better – […]
The first time I heard the word, I knew I would love it. Clafoutis. Clah. Foo. Tee. It felt so good just to say it, like a laughing cloud floating off my tongue, I was certain it would taste even better. I was right. Clafoutis […]
Summer is HERE! Wowee zowee it’s been a beautiful July filled with plenty of sunshine, swimming, fresh fruit, and family time. It’s also a very special feeling being in Canada for the whole spring-to-summer transition once again. It’s one of my favourite things, watching this […]
If there is one trick I’ve learned in all of my years cooking, both at home and in restaurants, it is this: caramelized onions can make almost anything taste amazing. They’re the ridiculously simple, yet magical ingredient that turns an ordinary dish into something so […]
Welcome to My New Roots. Since October 2007, this blog has been the place for me to share the edible inspirations from my playtime in the kitchen, and my deep love for whole foods. The recipes and ideas you’ll find here revolve around my plant-based way of eating, and I hope that through the simple and delicious dishes I create, you too will discover a whole new world of flavour and nourishment.
Xo, Sarah B
