I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote the food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide COLOR TASTE TEXTURE. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience required. My goal is to help kids avoid food related trauma and offer a balm of kindness for anyone who couldn’t escape it.

Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

Hemp fibre ready to be spun into yarn then woven. During my research for my Uni assignment I found a vast array of health benefits I didn't know about this amazing and versatile plant and its fibres.
