When cooking feels like too much

When you're grieving, looking after yourself can suddenly become surprisingly difficult.

You may not feel hungry. You may not have the energy to cook. You may open the fridge, stare at it, and simply have no idea what you're supposed to do next.

This isn't a book about impressive meals or getting everything right. It's about making it a little easier to eat and look after yourself when life is hard.

Why I wrote The Grief Kitchen

After my wife died, I discovered that grief doesn't just affect how you feel. It changes the ordinary parts of life too.

Shopping, deciding what to eat and finding the motivation to cook can suddenly feel like surprisingly difficult tasks.

At a time when your body needs looking after, grief can make doing exactly that feel almost impossible.

I wrote The Grief Kitchen from that experience: simple, realistic food and practical ideas for people who don't need perfection — they just need something manageable for today, and a way to keep looking after themselves.
