24 no-chew recipes » SOFT eBook » not hangry anymore

Description

Who is this for?

You need this eBook if:

If you are about to have dental surgery or can’t chew for other reason
If you or someone in your family has food texture aversion and struggles with crunchy textures
If you like fast and simple recipes
If you think soups and smoothies are underrated
If you are a partner, parent, or caregiver for anyone who fits one of the above criteria
If you just bought a new blender and want to put it to the test

This eBook is probably not for you if you fit none of the above and aren’t interested in resolving that by simply adding other textural elements or garnishes to the recipes shared here.

Why write a book featuring only soft recipes?

The story behind SOFT is very simple:

In 2020 my dentist told me I needed to have my wisdom teeth extracted. I wasn’t pleased to hear that I would not be able to chew for at least a week after my surgery.

The thing is, 2020 was not the time to take away one of my greatest sources of joy! I couldn’t imagine a week of eating the same boring soft foods. I need variety! I need flavour! Saltiness, Acidity, Umami, Fattiness, Sweetness, Bitterness, Spice… I wasn’t about to give up on my best friends in the kitchen just because I had a couple of holes in my face where my teeth used to be. No way!

I decided it was finally time to bite the bullet and invest in the Vitamix I had been eyeing. I quickly started brainstorming how I could still bring variety and fun into my week without turning to any of my regular recipes.

What this led to was a crazy week of cooking, blending, testing, photographing, and writing . Meanwhile my husband kept insisting that I go back to sleep and focus on my recovery… What does he know?

The result is a book focused on simple, varied, nutritious and (of course!) irresistibly delicious recipes that are exclusively soft and smooth to make your life simpler when you can’t chew.

Not being able to chew can really suck

You’re tired, you’re grumpy, your face hurts.

All you can think of to eat is ice-cream but in the back of your mind you know that it’s probably a good idea to have a vegetable or two at some stage in the next two weeks #balance.

On top of all of that, spending time in the kitchen while recovering is exhausting and is getting in the way of your busy Netflix schedule.

I wrote the book that I wish I'd been able to buy back then

Millions of people get their wisdom teeth removed each year and yet I was unable to find a clear and simple guide of recipes that could keep me smiling during my recovery.

I knew that if I didn’t do anything about it then I was going to be at severe risk of developing hangriness – and in case you’ve completely missed the point of this website so far – that is never a risk that I am willing to take!

Having been developing recipes and blogging now for 5-years as well as having worked in professional kitchens, I figured I was in a good place to create something that could at the very least fill the spot until more qualified people start sharing their ‘no-chew’ recipes and guides.

Most importantly, I care about nourishing myself and others with flavourful food. Food brings comfort as well as nutrition and that comfort is even more important when you can’t chew!

What's included in the eBook?

A full grocery list in case you plan to work through from cover-to-cover. This makes it convenient and easy to do a single grocery shop or online order for the entire week.
A clear index - hyperlinks for easy navigation. Making it easy to jump to your favourites or the most appetising photos. The last thing you need is more thinking when you're tired!
Enticing recipe photos to inspire you to keep looking after yourself with quality meals, even though you might be feeling somewhat uninspired.
Every single recipe is specifically designed for “not chewing” - no garnish, no chewy or crunchy food, no need to think and to modify recipes. Because they're designed this way, the recipes won't feel like they are missing anything. No mental gymnastics while you're resting and no decision-fatigue.
A wide variety of foods and flavours are included, there's something in here for even the fussiest of eaters. I worked really hard to create a wide range of meals that will keep things interesting and brighten your day.
The eBook uses simple ingredients that are easy to find in most supermarkets. No need to spend hours searching or shopping across multiple supermarkets to find what you need.
Most recipes are packed with fruit and vegetables so you know you're getting plenty of protein, fibre and a wide range of micronutrients to support your recovery.
All recipes are completely gluten free (just make sure you use gluten-free oats if you are a coeliac)

Equipment and limitations

For 90% of these recipes, you need a good blender. This is simply unavoidable to make your food properly smooth. If you don’t currently own one of the above - it is an incredibly worthwhile investment outside of just this book and if you’re about to have dental surgery or can't chew then this is the perfect time to go for it and buy one.
If you are allergic to banana, sesame, coconut, soy, or tree nuts (such as almonds) then you may need to make a few substitutions or avoid several recipes.
