  • About
I have written in previous books about the therapeutic nature of baking bread or stirring risotto. My close friends and family know me and my moods well enough by now to be firm with me, prodding me towards the kitchen when I start to withdraw into myself or am inexplicably sad.
The times I least feel like cooking are usually the times when disappearing into a cloud of steam and spices is exactly what I need, so I hope you find these recipes somewhat helpful, too.

Cooking just for yourself is the ultimate act of self-care; you are acknowledging that you are important enough to take time over, to nourish, to give pleasure to. It doesn’t have to be complicated or a Masterchef masterpiece, it just needs to fill the hole. You wouldn’t let anyone you love skip meals and refuse to feed themselves, so maybe you should gently remind yourself that you are worth taking the time over, too.
