These are difficult days. We need to gently nourish our bodies, minds and souls – even more so than usual.
This is an invitation to do that.
A bit of background: decades ago, I self-published a specialty cookbook. It sold well in the US, Canada, Australia, UK … and publication expenses were met. A number of years ago, I received unexpected emails from people who had discovered the book and wanted to know if it was still available. Sadly, nope. But, I had a few copies, so sent those people a complimentary copy. I didn’t think much about it – until recently …
It’s become clear that hunger and poverty issues are escalating, and for many, about to get even worse. I wondered what I could do. I decided to republish the book with a different title (“Nourish Gently: The Soulistry Cookbook”) and do it for free. So I began to type —- and type —- and type … (hopefully there are not too many typos that didn’t get caught). ![]()
“Nourish Gently: A Soulistry Cookbook” is now ready to download, to use, to share for free. No need to sign anything. No need to give any personal information. No need to pay anything. It’s a gift and can be downloaded here: https://soulistry.com/books
You are welcome to pass on the link to others. Hopefully, an unexpected gift of “Gently Nourish” will put a smile on faces and in some small way, help in these difficult times.
Btw, the book is both cookbook and story. As cookbook, recipes are free-from additives, preservatives, refined sugar, chocolate, and also offers recipe suggestions for salicylate-substitution along with a whole lot of unexpected extras. Nourish Gently also tells a personal story which hopefully will encourage readers to make time to gently nourish and feed their body, mind and spirit.
This is not a “fancy” book, or a “glitzy” book; nor does it make any promises health-wise/scientifically/medically. If readers are in doubt as to whether the recipes might be helpful to them/their family situation, they are encouraged to discuss it with their physician and/or naturopath.
Nourish Gently is shared in the hope that it encourages readers to gently nourish their body through the cookbook recipes, and gently nourish their soul through the Soulistry Story.

No need to purchase Sadie. It’s free – a gift. But yes, let’s get together for a cuppa soon. 🙂
June, You are a woman of many talents! Your giving nature just keeps going and going……I am so excited to have this cook book and put many of the recipes to use! And just knowing that they came from your giving heart, will make them extra special. I’ve been a little out of touch lately. My husband and I have sold our large home and down-sized to a townhome. That has taken so much time and energy-in a good way! Hopefully, I’m settling back down to a more “normal”, mindful life (while still awaiting furniture deliveries). Thank you for giving us this gift from your heart. I have been a conscious, healthy eater my whole life, thanks to eating from my father’s garden (which was fully organic before the word was of consequence). I’m so honored to have you in my circle of people whom I hold dear. Thank you!
Delighted you’re going to be using the little cookbook, Roberta. One of my favourites is the Hawaiian Dream Bars (and reducing the sweetener still makes for a yummy dessert bar. 🙂 Thinking of you during the transition – moves can be so stressful but it sounds as if this one is evolving gently and well. What a wonderful move … for oh, so many reasons. 🙂 Looking forward to staying-in-touch. 🙂 xox
Thank you. I look forward to reading it.
I hope you find something of interest (and use) in the coming months and years, Penny. 🙂
