Healthy Eating Cookbook* is a cookbook for everyone using real non-processed ingredients. Covering quick and easy ways to prepare snacks, grab and go recipes and desserts that are not only nourishing but also taste amazing! 10% of the proceeds will be donated to the Splash Foundation.
My name is Ifat, and after many years of wellness education and cooking I want to create a cookbook for you to practice healthy living in your own home. But, I need your help to fund the production and printing of recipes developed through years of research and refined at my own family dinner table. The most expensive parts of releasing the book are the editing, production and printing phases.
This is where your input would be greatly appreciated. The more books or packages you buy, the easier it will be to fund my dream, and 10% of funds will be donated to the Splash Foundation. I am passionate about this foundation as it supports domestic helpers around the world. We have our 'Aunty' that lives with us here in Hong Kong, and we would like to dedicate the additional donations to her and every 'aunty' out there.
What's in the Book?
50 easy-to-make recipes, involving readily available ingredients and REAL food that nourishes and is so delish!! Why make a highly processed birthday cake for your hubby or daughter when you can make a nutrient dense, tasty and nourishing one that your body will LOVE? Best of all, no one will notice the difference!
The first 30 backers of Healthy Eating Cookbook will receive a preview downloadable PDF with the first 8 recipes before any print is ready!
What are my Goals?
Promoting Health - Health affects everything in our lives. Food is one of the major contributors to our overall situation, and most people find healthy eating a chore.
Ease of use - that's why the recipes are easy to follow, and quick to make! People want less bought and more hands on food.
Giving back - The Splash Foundation will receive 10% of the total proceeds of this campaign - all for a great cause!
Once I reach my goal I will begin the final stages of putting it all together, including the book recipe dedications and co-sponsorships. I want this book to be relevant and accessible to all.
Why the Healthy Eating Cookbook now?
I created this cookbook from my research and development dating back as far as a paper I wrote when I was 19 named 'Food for Mood'. I was curious about whether food could actually affect the way we think and feel.
A couple of years ago I found my research paper leading me to further my investigations. This time I created Hong Kong's first Gluten Free Healthy Bakery and Cafe, which became the leading supplier of GF breads and pastries to the top hotels in Hong Kong - I was also fortunate enough to receive awards in the region for my work.
As my successes have been varied and wide, I chose, rather than to keep my recipes secret or releasing them through blogs or media, to collate my ideas together in one package - my first cookbook.
Spreading and sharing the love of my journey in addition to my all time favourite recipes.

Testimonials
“Ifat is a total trailblazer in bringing gluten free goodies to the homes of Hong Kong. She was one of the first to be instrumental at bringing gluten free food to our shores. Where it had been common place in other countries it took Ifat to champion this new food movement here. Through her bakery she supplied the best of the best but also made gluten free food accessible and tasty to all. I’m inspired by her passion and can’t wait to see what she does next.”
Laura Derry, PRIME ASIA
"Ifat Kafry Hindes has carved a niche as the city's first 'uncontaminated gluten-free bakery.' Its a welcome addition to Hong Kong where gluten-free goods were mostly restricted to online ordering and the occasional Farmers Market"
CRAVE MAGAZINE
"A health food aficionado and amazing mum-preneur, she opened Hong Kong’s first gluten-free restaurant & bakery Choice Cooperative back in 2013, and now offers private cooking classes, healthy home makeovers, and event consulting services. Her enthusiasm for healthy and delicious food is infectious"
SASSY MEDIA HK
"Ifat takes the term 'Supermama' to a whole new level! I have seen her juggle 3 young kids while running multiple successful brands and working social media like a BOSS!. She should definitely be your first stop if you're looking for someone to consult or promote your wellness products, or even to just head out on one of her fabulous wellness walks."
