Life is hard. Some days are at the absolute limit of what we can manage. Some days are worse than that. Eating—picking a meal, making it, putting it into your facehole—can feel like an insurmountable challenge. We wrote this cookbook to share our coping strategies. It has recipes to make when you’ve worked a 16-hour day, when you can’t stop crying and you don’t know why, when you accidentally woke up an Eldritch abomination at the bottom of the ocean. But most of all, this cookbook exists to help Sad Bastards like us feel a little less alone at mealtimes.

The Sad Bastard Cookbook is funny, realistic, and kind. It’s vegetarian/vegan. It’s a community-built project. And the e-book is free. It’s hard to survive late capitalism and we want to help.

Subscribe to the newsletter, download the free pdf, and print it. We’re cool with that. We made it legal with Creative Commons (4.0-BY-NC), but if you get a thrill from breaking the law, you can pretend it’s not.

Good and Cheap is a cookbook for people with very tight budgets, particularly those on SNAP/Food Stamps benefits. The PDF is free to download (ahora en Español!) (you really don't need to sign up for her newsletter, just click one of the buttons) and has been downloaded more than 15,000,000 times. It is also available in print, and for every copy sold we donate one to someone who can’t afford it.

SoloWizard is an interactive website which lets you check off the things you do and don't want on a new MacOSX machine, and it'll generate a shell script (which you can and should inspect for veracity) that will install Chef locally, pull down the appropriate cookbooks, and set up the machine. Helps automate workstation construction, minimizes craft error in some important ways. Be sure that the cookbooks it uses are compatible with your release of OSX, though.
