When eating becomes challenging, many simple pleasures

such as mealtime, comfort, and connection with others

can slip away. But it doesn't have to be that way.

 

In this uniquely personal and practical memoir and

cookbook, Joanne Brouard, who struggles with swallowing

due to OPMD, shares what helped her rediscover joy in food

and daily life despite her condition. With compassion, personal insight, and original family recipes, Give Me a Solid is more than a cookbook. Beautifully illustrated with the author's artwork, it's a reminder that you can reclaim joy, one bite at a time.
