This cookbook is something you have not seen before. It brings the concept of shame and gratitude to a whole new level.

With its colorful and vibrant illustrations it already brings the reader into a sense of joy.

The recipes within the book are plant-based and covers your daily intake with breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert. They are based on leftovers and dumpster finds, where the author wished to be bold and only attempted to create the recipes ones for the book (even though they’re still delicious), as the food was not the main part of its creation, but used as a metaphor, as even trash is useful. Therefore, it goes full circle and inspires to help you heal your relationship with food by the help of the in-between chapters, which appears throughout the book as you explore its content.

With the help of Buddha II who is a wise binge eater, you will be guided to meditations, teachings and other exercises, which helps you to understand and navigate the deeper shadows of your being stuck in shame, which prevents you from belonging properly.

It’s the concept of going from feeling like trash to useful fertilizer by using one of Earth’s most amazing treasures – food.

This book is a beginner friendly introduction with the concept of trauma and nervous system regulation. It brings a comprehensive, unique and understanding description of a topic the world is just waking up to.

With the help of science and spirituality the author attempts to bring the reader deeper than the body keeps the score, with exercises, illustrations and versatile wisdom, which hopefully brings the reader closer to the sense of self and source.
