Possible Read Harder 2020 Prompts: Food about a cuisine you've never tried.
Possible Pop Sugar 2020 Prompts: Recommended by a podcast, by a woman of color, birthday month (September)

To be honest as an autistic person cookbooks for me are hard, I have my safe foods and it's hard for me to find new things that I can actually eat. I decided to read this book on a recommendation by Jen Hatmaker and Aarti's wonderful episode. I really enjoyed the parts of this cookbook that told a story, and the recipes were interesting. I did find some new ones to try, and I refuse to rate down just because there weren't a whole lot I would make. Granted, I read this as someone who has never had Indian food and is an extremely sensory eater, so that's not on Sequeira at all, but on me totally. There were some recipes that looked stunningly delicious and I can't wait to move into my apartment to try them.
