Ascension Kitchen is a natural health and plant-based food platform created by Lauren Glucina, a New Zealand-based naturopath, medical herbalist and nutritionist. Sharing recipes and health articles since 2012, Lauren’s work encourages readers to connect with nature and support their physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing through practical, nourishing ideas.

The site features a large collection of naturopath-approved plant-based recipes, including mains, breakfasts, salads, snacks, drinks and healthy desserts. Recipes are free from gluten, dairy, eggs and refined sugar, and include Ayurvedic-inspired dishes such as kitchari alongside everyday family meals. Ascension Kitchen also offers information on plant-based nutrition, functional foods, essential oils and natural health.

Readers can explore home remedies using herbs and other natural ingredients, as well as recipes for homemade cleaning, beauty and personal-care products. The website provides nutrition advice, wellness practices and natural living guidance, and lists naturopathy consultations among its offerings. With accessible recipes and educational articles, Ascension Kitchen brings together food, herbal knowledge and practical approaches to living naturally.
