About Us

The Shine Family

Elisa and Spring choose to live life
"as if it were art". They invest a lot of energy into what they love. Whether it be a vanilla cornbread, a woven garden fence, a bed of basil for pesto or a warm curried squash soup on a winter day... they put their heart and soul into everything they do.

They perfect all of their recipes and prepare the vegetarian dishes in their beautiful cob and straw bale home that they built with their own hands. Elisa and Spring have grown a large organic garden for over 16 years. They love the experience of picking fresh vegetables and fruit from right outside their door and combining them with other ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes. They have been eating vegetarian and vegan food for 20 years and have experience in raw food and sugar free diets. Their children, Rose and Naia have been raised on this diet and are wonderfully healthy.

They are passionate about vegetarian food and over the years they have been collecting and creating recipes to add variety to their diet. They dreamt years ago about creating a cookbook to share what they've been 'cooking up'.... and so this website was born.
In these pages you will find an ever expanding collection of our favorite recipes that are healthy, elegant and easy to create.
Enjoy with love, from our family to yours!
