About the Book
Mr Gwokomo's Food Secrets is about the story of Mr Gwokomo, a 100 year old man, and his ‘food secrets’ for living a long and healthy life. He teaches about the ‘powers’ of eating real, natural, ‘wholefoods’, where these foods come from, how to ‘pick’ them and the reasons for ‘eating the whole rainbow.’
Mr Gwokomo’s one goal is to inspire and encourage children (and parents alike) to simply eat food that is real, natural and unprocessed.
The book was written and printed in South Australia.

Tom Slowinski (33 years old) lives in Adelaide with his wife and 2 young daughters. He was diagnosed with Stage 3 Bowel Cancer when he was 28 for which he underwent surgery to remove 30cm of his bowel and 6 months of chemotherapy.

Following the birth of his daughter he was inspired to write a book to help her understand the concept of 'real' food, and encourage her to make healthy food choices.
