Praise for Rachel Bolden-Kramer's My Food Stamps Cookbook:
"Alongside powerfully delicious recipes using locally accessible and culturally fluent ingredients, Rachel weaves a fascinating narrative of savvy single mother realness and sassy wellness coach in her read of the accessibility of health foods for those who've ever had limited resources. The material is relevant for young people, college students, professionals in training, and growing families.
Rachel's chosen recipes and flavors evoke a nuanced critique of the consumer culture that keeps the food stamp program an ubiquitously relevant topic in food justice and popular liberation. This book is the answer to the question of how organizations can appropriately offer resources that center the leadership of the food insecure."
