Título: Crip Up the Kitchen: Tools, Tips, and Recipes for the Disabled Cook
Autor: Jules Sherred
Sinopse: "I've never felt so understood and supported as I did reading Crip Up the Kitchen. Sherred is the kitchen whisperer for chronic pain folks like me who have avoided that room in the house for most of my life." ―J. Albert Mann, author of The Degenerates and Fix
A comprehensive guide and recipe collection that brings the economy and satisfaction of home cooking to disabled and neurodivergent cooks.
cripping / crip up: A term used by disabled disability rights advocates and academia to signal taking back power, to lessen stigma, and to disrupt ableism as to ensure disabled voices are included in all aspects of life.
When Jules Sherred discovered the Instant Pot multicooker, he was thrilled. And incensed. How had no one told him what a gamechanger this could be, for any home cook but in particular for those with disabilities and chronic illness? And so the experimenting―and the evangelizing―began.
The kitchen is the most ableist room in the house. With 50 recipes that make use of three key tools―the electric pressure cooker, air fryer, and bread machine―Jules has set out to make the kitchen accessible and enjoyable. The book includes pantry prep, meal planning, shopping guides, kitchen organization plans, and tips for cooking safely when disabled, all taking into account varying physical abilities and energy levels.
Organized from least to greatest effort (or from 1 to “all your spoons,” for spoonies), beginning with spice blends and bases, Jules presents thorough, tested, inclusive recipes for making favourites like butter chicken, Jules’s Effin’ Good Chili, Thai winter squash soup, roast dinners, matzo balls, pho, samosas, borshch, shortbread, lemon pound cake, and many more.
Jules also provides a step-by-step guide to safe canning and a template for prepping your freezer and pantry for post-surgery. With rich accompanying photography and food histories, complete nutritional information and methods developed specifically for the disabled and neurodivergent cook, Crip Up the Kitchen is at once inviting, comprehensive, and accessible. If you’ve craved the economy and satisfaction of cooking at home but been turned off by the ableist approach of most cookbooks―this one’s for you!

Sobre a editora
Os livros da editora Touchwood Editions convidam o leitor a mergulhar em narrativas que combinam mistério, história e cultura regional, com forte presença do cenário do Pacífico Norte e comunidades indígenas. O catálogo apresenta séries policiais ambientadas no pós-guerra, onde personagens femininas investigadoras lidam com segredos familiares, espionagem e tensões políticas, enquanto outras obras exploram investigações contemporâneas com referências a rituais e mitologias indígenas, especialmente da cultura Coast Salish. Além disso, há títulos que trazem guias práticos e relatos de viagem, com foco em gastronomia local e acessibilidade na cozinha, ampliando o espectro editorial para além da ficção. O tom varia entre o suspense tenso e o relato detalhado, com ritmo que pode ser tanto acelerado quanto contemplativo, dependendo do enfoque narrativo.
