Pachamama’s Beautiful Food ~ Cooking with the Elements

Margaret Gilfoyle trained and received initiations from indigenous healers of Peru, Brazil and Ecuador during the last decade - her first introduction to the presence of PACHAMAMA, Mother Earth to the Quechuan speaking people of South America. “Their traditions and beliefs in the Feminine Spirit which lived within the Earth itself rang true and deep within me.”

Pachamama and the Creator offer their gifts freely and abundantly within the intricate, infinitely beautiful web of life. In gratefulness of receiving these, we can learn more fully the joy of giving reciprocally what we have to offer in return. We honor Pachamama as we assist nature and people in respectful, sustainable ways. Cooking with love and the intention of bringing energy of peaceful joy as meals are prepared makes even the simplest cuisine and dishes very special to friends and family sitting down at your table, and assists the Earth's energy to resonate with more love, your love.

Fun sold out book release/signing/sampling event @thecupboardfortcollins today! Met some great people and had a blast with family and friends too! Thank you Jamye Dayhuff Richardson for this photo I think when the last copy was sold👍😃♥️ . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #eatlocal #slowfood #booksigning #joy #glutenfreechef #cookbookauthor #gratitude #inmylittlecorneroftheworld #thecupboardfortcollins #fortcollins #coloradolife
This Saturday!! My first book signing will be happening at my favorite kitchen store, @thecupboardfortcollins, where I taught cooking classes years ago. This announcement is from The Cupboard’s newsletter. In fact, the last class I taught there was on September 11, 2001. It had been planned of course for months - Recipes from Like Water for Chocolate, and was sold out. After the Towers fell, and the country was in complete shock, staff at The Cupboard contacted each person who had signed up for the class. I myself had traveled across the state to teach it. And it was unanimous - please hold the class, please don’t cancel. So we did: I prepared quail in rose petal sauce, turkey mole with almonds and sesame, three king’s day bread, and stuffed chilies in nut sauce. The class was a balm for the day - and I was so grateful we had decided to follow through. Just as food was the language of love in the book, so it was for us that evening. The chilies in nut sauce is a recipe included in my book - so delicious, and filled with love. I’ll be preparing some other choice recipe samples for the book signing, filled with gratefulness that this book has finally, finally! manifested, after dreaming of it for years, with no illusions of grandeur - fame - fortune - yet definitely happiness. If you’re in northern Colorado, do drop by! I’ll share some tasty bites and a story with you♥️ . . . #pachamamasbeautifulfood #booksigning #cookbook #september #remember #fortcollins #thecupboardfortcollins #coloradolife #localauthor #glutenfreechef #eatlocal #slowfood #selfpublished #blurbbooks
Spotting these swallowtail caterpillars on my garden dill this morning brought a gentle joy and peace to my heart. And a hopeful anticipation of watching them in their amazing life cycle. #pachamamasbeautifulfood #caterpillar #swallowtail #butterfly #dill #gardenlife #eatlocal #coloradolife #september

It’s been a good day, an amazing day, an indescribable feeling seeing the FedEx truck pull up in front of my home, the great guy who delivered these boxes happy and excited for me as he carried them inside my door, opening them up on FaceTime with my son @gilfoyledeano1 down in Denver, whom all these cookbooks are dedicated to. ♥️This first shipment of Pachamama’s Beautiful Food - magical recipe alchemy and love affair with the earth cookbook, is nearly sold out - before I even received the shipment! 🍷🌟😃 There are two events booked so far, one in Fort Collins at The Cupboard Saturday September 14 and one in Paonia at Remedy Thursday, September 19 - posting all the details as soon as I can get them up on the website, check my Facebook page and events, too! 🌽🌶🍑🍅🌎 #pachamamasbeautifulfood #cookbook #foodwriter #selfpublished #cookbookauthor #coloradoauthor #fortcollinsauthor #coloradolife #eatlocal #slowfood #pachamama #loveyourmother #sacredearth #gardening #knowyourfarmer #beautifulcuisines #countrygourmet #blurbbooks
