The Self-Care Cookbook: Easy Healing Plant-Based Recipes by Ogston Gemma stands out as a unique blend of a recipe and self-care guide, ideal for those seeking wellness through food. Gemma Ogston, a plant-based chef, and the founder of Gem’s Wholesome Kitchen in Brighton, invites us into her world with this colorful cookbook. It offers not just recipes but a path to self-care and self-love through eating. It is said to have the same irresistible crunch, the tender, meaty center, a hit of salt and spice, and once you start eating, it’s hard to stop.
This book is not only for vegans but also for flexitarians or anyone looking for wellness-minded recipes. The green hue of the book’s cover, paired with lilac, echoes Fran Bailey’s The Healing Power of Plants, suggesting a theme of growth and rejuvenation. Ogston shares her journey of becoming a mother and entrepreneur, crafting each recipe to nourish both body and mind.
