I borrowed this book from the library and then had to own it. Since my husband died, I have found it impossible to cook for myself. Especially difficult was making foods that he loved and we shared together for over three decades. The author of this book really gets what it is like when "you just can't" Can't stand in front of the stove, can't grocery shop, can't plan a meal, Just Can't.
Yet, you gotta eat.
Written with kindness and wry humor, she coaxed small smiles from me and identification. And willingness to try. Practical and easy to follow, I stocked the pantry following her good orderly directions. I stopped being judgemental about my inability to prepare "real" meals. Witness the miracle of frozen dumplings with microwave steamed broccoli raab and chili sauce, something I would never thought of on my own.
