You've got this! 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, honoring 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. It's 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. From the author of the bestselling Good & Cheap, a cookbook with self-care at its heart. Leanne Brown acknowledges that feeding yourself is hard, and that it is almost impossible to find the energy to work for yourself when you don't think you are worth it. With these everyday recipes, she provides a reminder that it's OK to lose perfectionism and find pleasure in "good enough" cooking. Leanne Brown wrote Good and Cheap as the capstone for her master's in food studies from New York University. She and her husband live in New York City.
