Alba’s Journal – Sow Grow Cook Care

So I’m writing a book… What’s it about & why write it now?

In a world bustling with the daily grind, we often find ourselves yearning for a deeper connection to our roots, both literally and metaphorically.

Such is my own journey that has led me to write Alba’s Journal: Sow, Grow, Cook, Care, a book that encapsulates my profound love for the environment, growing my own food, and trying to live sustainably

Why should you read this book?

Join Alba a 10 year old on her journey to discover country living, growing her own food, and living in harmony with nature. Through the pages of her personal journal, Alba shares her experiences, tips, and insights with readers of all ages.

Whether you’re already living in the country or a city dweller dreaming of a simpler life, Alba’s Journal has something to offer everyone. Learn how to grow your own food, compost, cook from scratch, and reduce your environmental impact.

But more than just a practical guide, Alba’s Journal is also a heartwarming story about a young girl’s love of nature and her appreciation for the simple things in life.

Alba meets her grandparents for the first time and develops a deep bond with them over the course of a year. She learns about their lives and culture, and they share their wisdom and experiences with her. Alba comes to deeply appreciate her grandparents, and they become an important part of her life.

… and don’t forget, the book showcases 35 of Grandma’s traditional Spanish recipes, thoughtfully veganised, with clear labeling for allergies (and alternative ingredients where possible).

Why not join Alba on her journey towards a greener, more fulfilling life – sow, grow, cook care!

The Characters

What if I’m not interested in the journal part, only the recipes or vice versa?

The book is in two parts, so you can dip into either at your pleasure.

Part 1 -the journal &

Part 2 – 35 veganised Spanish recipes

Driven by my passion for vegan living and my fascination with traditional Spanish cuisine, I set out to recreate beloved Andalucian recipes (and other regional dishes) but in vegan form. My mission: to also make them healthier without sacrificing their traditional origins.

In Summary:

Growing my own produce organically, has been a profound experience, allowing me to nurture the earth and reap its bounties, while hopefully treading more lightly on the environment.

This book is a testament to the joy of sowing seeds, nurturing life, and transforming those harvests into delicious, wholesome recipes… all seen through the innocence of a child’s eyes.
