"nourishment is the greatest gift of love that one person can give to another - nourishment for the heart, mind, soul, and body"
this book is about nourishment for the body, with sprinkles, dashes, and an occasional heaping portion of the others stirred into the recipe!
Cooking for Leah is a cookbook of the recipes that the author created for his daughter, a young adult with severe or "classic" autism. It includes useful nutrition information and ideas on how to motivate individuals with unique needs to eat a healthier diet. The book is filled with love for Leah and family and the adventure of creating delicious and healthy dishes - coupled with the creative process of learning the language of a non-verbal person with unique needs to evolve her diet to a healthier one. Two important additions distinguish it from a pure cookbook. The book provides some simple guidelines to help parents to sort out the pop-culture nutrition advice from science-based nutrition facts. The heart of Cooking for Leah is the techniques and the process that the author used to inspire Leah to choose healthier diet. The book emphasizes this idea of experimentation and a process of discovery because each person is unique. The exact formula and diet used for Leah will not necessarily be a precise recipe that another family can follow to the letter to help their children, but the process employed will help you find the right answers for your child or loved one.
The Leah Books
The Leah Books series tells the story of the care and development of a young woman with severe autism, provided by her father, the author.

Supporting books of poems (Leah is a Masterpiece and Love Poems for Leah) and quotations (Messages for Anthony, Daniel, and Leah) shaped the author's growth and prepared him to care for Leah.
