The Prison Gourmet

Description

Written by an inmate,
for inmates….

Bring incarcerated does not mean you still cannot have a taste of home. Many options are available to prisoners through the commissary or online delivery services contracted through the prison system. But these choices are limited and often tasteless.

Being in prison with limited resources has taught me one thing, creativity. You have to think about what you have to work with in terms of what it is composed of. And sometimes deconstruction and reconstruction of what you have can give you a totally different food item. Deconstructing these choices you can reconstruct them into tasty food options. Yes, a chocolate cake with icing can be made from cookies. Even caramel-corn can be made using the recipe in this book.

Once you have an understanding of ingredients, as well as how and when to put those ingredients together, you can make just about anything. Something that can remind you there is more than just prison food. Something to remind you of home. And food, before prison.

So help your loved ones prepare a little taste of home.
