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 […]
This post is a long time coming! And I’m so excited to finally be sharing my bedroom with you all. We’ve now been in our home for a year and a bit, and although it’s (still!) not complete, we’re enjoying working on the finishing details […]
Dips are my favourite food group. Yes, food group. If I ever got a tattoo, it would probably say something like: “pass the hummus”. I was recently hosting a party-for-no-reason, and like most of my get togethers they involve a lot of food. […]

When we committed to going to the ocean, I immediately felt the thrilling sensation that washes over me when I stand at the intersection of land meeting water. I smelled brine and dampness. I saw certain patterns and colours; light sand against dark water, […]
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. […]
Everyone has strong food memories around holidays or special occasions in their life. I can completely recall the distinct taste of boxed cake from my childhood birthdays. Summer vacations were steeped in melting grape juice popsicles made by my grandmother. And one of my […]
You know the feeling: it’s twenty minutes after dinner. You’re full and seemingly suffonsified, when it hits you. I NEED A TREAT. Raisins will not help. Granola won’t cut it. Coconut chips? Pfff. That teeny square of dark chocolate you were keeping as a fallback […]
You know that game where you give someone a word and they have to make up a story with that word in it? I’m like that, except with food. Give me an ingredient, and magically, as if out of nowhere, an entire recipe (or […]
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
