Book excerpt: This book is full of my introductions to food, each followed by three recipes. The first recipe is from my childhood, straight from the story. Then there is an adapted version of the recipe to fit my needs as a teenager when I had to change my diet due to health complications. The last recipe shown fits the dietary preferences of my current self; these recipes are vegan. This book can be used in many different ways and has no specific order. I hope reading this allows you to pause and think of moments in your life that have influenced your relationship with food.
