Her method — non-judgmental, anti-diet, and approachable — became \u003ci\u003eDepression Cooking\u003c\/i\u003e, a book that combines recipes, personal memoir, and illustrations to provide a guide for those moments in all of our lives when making a meal, and loving yourself, feels impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn each chapter, Sonali writes and draws about a challenging period in her life, when food seemed more like an enemy than an ally, and shares the recipes and cooking tips that nurtured her body and her soul. From dal to ramen to “things on toast,” \u003ci\u003eDepression Cooking\u003c\/i\u003e lays out an approach that helps us through life’s hardest challenges, whether that’s becoming a new parent, being fired from a job, weathering grief, or living on our own for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart comic, part food memoir, part cookbook, \u003ci\u003eDepression Cooking\u003c\/i\u003e is a love letter to the sad, hungry, and exhausted versions of ourselves who always deserve care, community, and good food.
