I LOOVVEE kdramas so I was going to read it. But the chapter on trauma recovery in My Mister has me hooked! I haven’t watched some of the kdramas discussed, but reading how she relates to them, I shed tears and immediately checked it out of the library to read the rest of it. I’m in a bad headspace, so Dr Grace Jung’s work feels cathartic and resonant.

I’m not sure if this is adaptable to other multifunction pressure cookers. Anyways, the author was pretty obsessed with “Israeli couscous” or pearl couscous at one point - I want to emphasize that I reject zionism and the support of ethnic cleansing and genocide through food and culture in vegan spaces, whether the book was written recently or years ago. So, in place of that diabolical Israhell couscous recipe, I recommend looking into Palestinian couscous (maftoul) recipes - the OG and the GOAT, which is a million times better and will always age well.
