About The Self-Care Cookbook

Nourishing and comforting plant-based recipes to boost your energy, help you sleep, and brighten your mood.

So many of us go about our busy lives without eating wholesome food. Yet without giving our body what it truly needs to fuel us through the day (and night), we get ill, feel low, and have trouble sleeping.

In The Self-Care Cookbook, plant-based chef Gemma Ogston introduces us to eating as the ultimate form of self-care, whether you’re a full-time vegan, flexitarian, or just looking for simple recipes developed with wellness in mind. Each recipe has been crafted to nurture your body and mind. Organized by some of the core goals of self-care routines–Restore, Rebalance, Reflect, and Renew–The Self-Care Cookbook demonstrates countless ways to embrace your mood and understand your body’s needs through recipes as well as activities outside of the kitchen.

With over 60 delicious meals including Firey Bean Stew for the days you feel under the weather, Calming Miso Pasta to give your gut flora a super boost, and Indulgent Chocolate Pudding (because you deserve it), The Self-Care Cookbook is for anyone who needs some extra TLC and finds comfort in creating healthful, cozy meals–whether it’s dinner for one or a meal shared with the people you love.
