Life demands we eat. Disasters, whether their violence is caused by war, ignorance, viruses or climate volatility, demand we take control of our circumstances and our responses. The most fundamental step in taking control of life's everyday disasters is controlling what we eat.
In More Recipes for Life, author Roger Brigham expands on the collection of dishes he cooks for friends and family he presented in his original Recipes for Life. He encourages readers to challenge themselves by cooking more adventurously and more often. More Recipes for Life doubles the number of recipes that were in Recipes for Life by including all of those plus adding such dishes as cardamom waffles, cheese soufflé, sweet potatoes with pineapple, chicken and plantain stew, sancocho, ravioli nudi, pumpkin flan, and phosphate sodas.
Each dish brings the promise of love to every meal.

He credits wrestling for his success in life, but his cooking for his continued survival.
