Often food is used as a way of showing we care for someone. This could be in a nurturing/nourishing way or a rewarding/comforting way. The rewarding/ comforting role may be an indulgence, a treat for the tastebuds but a challenge for the body.

In my role as Chef at Hippocrates Wellness, I feel it is my responsibility to foster the nurturing/nourishing approach by encouraging people to drink their wheatgrass and green juice and eat their sprouts and microgreens.

The dishes we serve are referred to as "side dishes." My greatest reward is inspiring people to say, "I can do this" (making and enjoying living food) and seeing people's health improve. With this goal in mind, here are a few recipes from the kitchen at Hippocrates to help people enjoy the benefits of cruciferous vegetables. Of course, these sauces/dressings can also be used on other raw vegetables and sprouts.
