History of Hella Delicious

The seeds the creation of Hella Delicious began in 1997 with the discovery of Alice Waters restaurant Chez Panisse and the beliefs that helped to create it. Alice Waters calls this the Delicious Revolution and created an amazing program called edible schoolyards in the Martin Luther King school in Berkeley, San Francisco.

In 2002 the discovery of Sally Fallon’s book Nourishing Traditions pointed the way to the work that Weston A. Price did in the 1930s, travelling the globe and studying the teeth and bone structure of peoples on traditional verses refined modern foods.

Requests and discussions with young mothers and working women led to the development of Hella Delicious as a means of providing information and short cooking demonstrations of local and healthy foods.

Close contact with ECCD (Early Childhood Care and Development) groups in Papua New Guinea and Myanmar/Burma has highlighted the importance of nutrition in the programs that these organisations develop. It has also brought attention to how quickly local knowledge of fertility foods and herbs is disappearing even in more remote areas of the world.

Hella Delicious currently is developing a sister organisation that will research and document these foods as a means of helping local people to retain their traditional foods and pass them on to the new generation of mothers.
