The Sad Bastard Cookbook by Zilla Novikov

Life is hard. Some days are at the absolute limit of what we can manage. Some days are worse than that. Eating-picking a meal, making it, putting it into your facehole-can feel like an insurmountable challenge. We wrote this cookbook to share our coping strategies. It has recipes to make when you've worked a 16-hour day, when you can't stop crying and you don't know why, when you accidentally woke up an Eldritch abomination at the bottom of the ocean. But most of all, this cookbook exists to help sad bastards like us feel a little less alone at mealtimes.

The Sad Bastard Cookbook is funny, realistic, and kind. It's vegetarian/vegan. It's a community-built project. And the e-book is free on the Night Beats website. It's hard to survive late capitalism and we want to help.

Content notes: Mental and physical illness, disordered eating, and dark humour throughout, as well as occasional mentions of alcohol, swearing, and political references. If you have specific food triggers, some recipes may be unpalatable to you.
