Good Enough: A Cookbook: Embracing the Joys of Imperfection and Practicing Self-Care in the Kitchen by Leanne Brown

Good enough is a cookbook, but it’s as much about the healing process of cooking as it is about delicious recipes. It’s about acknowledging the fears and anxieties many of us have when we get in the kitchen, then learning to let them go in the sensory experience of working with food.

It’s about slowing down, honouring the beautiful act of feeding yourself and your loved ones, and releasing the worries about whether what you’ve made is good enough.

It is a generous mix of essays, stories, and nearly 100 dazzling recipes, Good Enough is a deeply personal cookbook. Its subject is more than Smoky Honey Shrimp Tacos with Spicy Fennel Slaw or Sticky Toffee Cookies; ultimately it’s about learning to love and accept yourself, in and out of the kitchen.

Good Enough: A Cookbook: Embracing the Joys of Imperfection and Practicing Self-Care in the Kitchen is available at Amazon.com and Indigo.ca.    (more…)

Bon appétit! Kali Orexi! (Insert the sound of breaking plates here . . .)” (more…)
