It seems to me that the natural world
is the greatest source of excitement;
the greatest source of visual beauty;
the greatest source of intellectual interest.
It is the greatest source of so much in life
that makes life worth living.
Sir David Attenborough

#introduction
living in harmony with yourself
by Emma Sawko
All around me, the city is throbbing, bursting with energysirens wailing, horns
honking, funk music lling the air. An ordinary day in New York.
Leaning against a food truck in Brooklyn with my eyes closed, I bask in the
sunshine as I bite into a delicious pizza. Its one of the best you can nd here, and
I savor the light, crisp crust and the well-rounded, tangy avor of fresh tomatoes.
Im a native New Yorker, but Im also a citizen of the world. Born to Parisian
parents, I grew up in the Swiss Alps. Im truly a child of my generation, one of
those whove lived in several cities in the world, including Dubai, a place that
sprang up out of the sand dunes. But rst and foremost, Im FrenchFrench in
my passion for all that is ne, beautiful, and delicious.
That afternoon, I could well have been in the Middle East or in Paris. But it was
there, in the Big Apple, that I began giving serious thought to this book. What
would it contain? What would my message be? What recipes would I include?
Who would I be writing for, and why? How would I tell my story in just a few
pages? Above all, how would I recount the adventure of Wild & the Moon?
I really wanted to get things moving along, to play a key role in the changes I felt
were coming.
What if we could change the world with every meal we ate?
I nish o my pizza, thinking of what to include in my book. The recipes would be
tasty, light, and vitamin-rich; food that comforts, is full of avor and easy to make,
food that respects our bodies and our planet. Recipes to make for yourself and
for others, recipes to regale the guests and children sitting contentedly around
your table. In short, the recipes that made Comptoir 102, my rst concept store
in Dubai, a success, and those that have become cult favorites at the Wild & the
Moon juice bars. The book would necessarily include reections on the state
of our world, on the doors we can push open, the lines we can shift, the paths
we should take, and the happiness that comes with imagining a dierent future.
