@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 !

@youseeatortoise This is great!
If you're looking for more things for an expanded edition, I think some variant on Overnight Oats would be a good choice.
@Emily @youseeatortoise I do have my Veríval porridge (the version with blackberries).
Put 100 g (I have a lovely little digital scale so I only weigh, don’t measure, nowadays) of it into a cup, add 220–230 g milk (no less, and try to avoid more or it becomes mush), stir, microwave (around 900–1000 W) for 1:30 (three hits on the quickstart button will do that), stir, microwave another 30–60 seconds (depending on the microwave type: 30 will do for a 1000 W microwave with inverter tech and no rotating plate, a 900 W classic rotating microwave needed an extra 50–60 seconds), stir, take to the bedside table.
Let it cool down for two minutes or so, stir again, eat while hot.
The stirring is important. If the spoon is metal, remove from cup before putting cup into microwave.
(For larger cups, 120 g porridge with 250–260 g milk. After a while, you can do the milk part without weighing, just from where it is in the cup, if you use the same cup all the time, you’ll learn. The amount of porridge is harder, but doable if needed. If you eat porridge often (it’s soul food!) it’ll become automatic.)
Oats. A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.
