@youseeatortoise This is the first cookbook in my life that I feel like I can, and want to, cook from. It also made me feel good just to read a part of it. Because it reaches its goal, I need to eat to survive and spoons are completely gone currently. The only one left is my pink comfort spoon with which I try to eat mashed potatoes to feel a bit of joy while trying to eat anything that can help my body work.
So yeah. I said it already on a similar post citing your cookbook, but thanks, it's great, I'll read it entirely and will cook from it. Wether because I read it in it or not, simply because this cookbook is spot-on about it's goal audience.
Thanks.
@youseeatortoise It feels, and I want to say that's a huge success. And i'm 100% in the target demographic. And from what I feel from it, both authors are too. Which... feels so much better than the picture of a perfect cake I will never cook in a cookbook that's never been designed for people like me to cook from. It's pretty, and the prettier it is the saddest I get from feeling forgotten.
But rice and couscous and pastas (damn pastas are hard, and even that you nailed it), and mashed potatoes and everyting like that ? And how to make it quick and just... have variety in trying to survive and maybe smile at a small pepper or salt or whatever added ? Yeah. I want that. It's giving me an idea of spoon I didn't have, to get motivated to eat. And survive. Congrats !
