Hi there!
I'm a 20 year old autistic girl and I have been struggling with my eating habits for my entire life. Now that I am an adult, I want to get better at eating.
My diet is very limited so if anyone knows any good and simple reciepes/cookbooks for food with simple tastes and textures that would be great.
All advice welcome.
I'm a bit cautious about cook books, I think they can lead you to not developing cooking skill and being dependent on them. I'd say buy veg you like the look of, take it home and just try and cook it. Lots will be just ok, some failures, some will work. And slowly you'll teach yourself.
One book I would recommend is Jane Grison's Vegetable book. Most of the people I know who are really into cooking rate it their top one.
I used to teach an evening's intro course to vegan cooking, so here's a handout to that with some recipes and tips on how to change your diet: docs.google.com/.../edit
how about a book ?
true so true
People often tell me that. I'm sure there's a good one out there already. There's too many books and not enough people reading the good ones!
how about you writing a introductory cook book ? just an idea :)
I'm being dull and not understanding the question. What do you mean?
