    Crip Up the Kitchen: Tools, Tips, and Recipes for the Disabled Cook
    • When Jules Sherred discovered the Instant Pot multicooker, he was both thrilled and frustrated, realizing its potential as a gamechanger for home cooks, especially those with disabilities and chronic illnesses. This realization sparked his journey of experimentation and advocacy. Recognizing the kitchen as the most ableist room in the house, Jules offers 50 recipes utilizing three essential tools: the electric pressure cooker, air fryer, and bread machine. His goal is to make cooking accessible and enjoyable for everyone. The book features pantry prep, meal planning, shopping guides, kitchen organization plans, and safety tips tailored for varying physical abilities and energy levels. Recipes are organized by effort, starting with simple spice blends and bases and progressing to favorites like butter chicken, chili, Thai soup, roast dinners, and more. Additionally, Jules includes a guide to safe canning and a template for prepping your kitchen for post-surgery. With rich photography, food histories, and nutritional information, this resource is both inviting and comprehensive, catering specifically to disabled and neurodivergent cooks. If you've been discouraged by traditional cookbooks, this one is designed for you.
