Book description
Written by Sarah Thomas, founder of Blended by Sarah, Blended: Sharing Recipes for Love and Stories for Life shares the path that led one family from crisis to a whole food solution for tube feeding. After her son Lewis needed a G-tube, Sarah set out to create nourishing, energy-dense recipes with chef Phillip Torres and a team of dietitians. Every recipe is free from additives, preservatives and artificial sugars, and designed to fit the right consistency for tube feeding while helping families and individuals stay connected to food and everyday moments. Written for carers, clinicians and anyone navigating NG or G-tube feeding, it offers practical, whole food guidance alongside recipes that are genuinely enjoyable to make and share.
Sarah's bio
Sarah Thomas is the founder of Blended by Sarah, an Australian company creating shelf-stable, whole food blended meals for NG and G-tube feeding. Sarah's path into this work began when her son Lewis required a G-tube, and she saw firsthand how few nourishing, whole food options existed for tube feeding families. She set out to change that, working with chef Phillip Torres and a team of dietitians to develop recipes that are additive-free and packed with energy, without compromising on taste or nutrition. Today, Sarah is a passionate advocate for the tube feeding community, working to help families and individuals stay part of food culture, at every meal and every moment.
