Sonali Menezes: Depression Cooking, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

A warm, generous, and illustrated guide to nurturing yourself when life --- and the world --- is too much

When artist Sonali Menezes found herself struggling with mental illness, disordered eating, and the crushing weight of capitalism, she began to look for easy and delicious ways to feed herself that would both fulfill her hunger and her need for care. Her method --- non-judgmental, anti-diet, and approachable --- became Depression Cooking , a book that combines recipes, personal memoir, and illustrations to provide a guide for those moments in all of our lives when making a meal, and loving yourself, feels impossible.

In each chapter, Sonali writes and draws about a challenging period in her life, when food seemed more like an enemy than an ally, and shares the recipes and cooking tips that nurtured her body and her soul. From dal to ramen to "things on toast," Depression Cooking lays out an approach that helps us through life's hardest challenges, whether that's becoming a new parent, being fired from a job, weathering grief, or living on our own for the first time.

Part comic, part food memoir, part cookbook, Depression Cooking is a love letter to the sad, hungry, and exhausted versions of ourselves who always deserve care, community, and good food. This empathetic, innovative, and delightfully funny book is one of one, and exactly the permission we all need to enjoy beautiful meals just because we can.
