A memoir/cookbook about resilience When eating becomes challenging, many simple pleasures such as mealtime, comfort, and connection with others can slip away. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this uniquely personal and practical cookbook, Joanne Brouard, who struggles with swallowing due to OPMD, shares what helped her rediscover joy in food and daily life despite her condition. With compassion, personal insight, and original family recipes, Give Me a Solid is more than a cookbook. Beautifully illustrated with the author's art, it's a reminder that you can reclaim joy, one bite at a time.
