Look inside
Pages from the file you'll download, not a mock-up.
The first six weeks of postpartum are not a season for ambitious cooking. They are a season for the meal the partner can reheat in the microwave at 11pm. The meal the friend can drop on the porch. The meal the parent can eat with the baby on the boob.
This cookbook is built around that constraint. One hand. Twenty minutes the day-of. A freezer doing the cooking work the present-day self cannot.
What’s inside
Thirty recipes across five categories:
- Soups + stews (6 recipes). The first 48 hours after delivery, often the easiest thing.
- Curries + one-pot bowls (6 recipes). Including Indian-friendly options. Rice cooks separately.
- Casseroles + bakes (6 recipes). Make once, eat for three days.
- Breakfast + make-ahead (6 recipes). Steel-cut oats, savory muffins, breakfast burritos.
- Snacks + smoothies + small things (6 recipes). For the 3am feed. For the time you have not eaten since lunch.
Plus:
- A pre-cook-day grocery list template
- Kitchen orientation: equipment that earns its space, and what to skip
- A freezer-organization map
- A reheating reference table
- A final note
