A Book to help people
Here you can find information to help publishing a book with the purpose to help people.
This is a book for a full life, in which socializing at the table is possible even for those with health limitations. It contains adaptations of instruments to make possible the cooking even for people whose hands shake.
"A Dream Kitchen" allows us to keep the memory of the creator of the concept and author, André Mendes, according to what was his will, as he confided it to his friend Rui. Sadly, André passed away in 2019, having lived several years of his life with multiple sclerosis and depression, never giving up on his dreams. He was an intelligent and courageous man who always faced life with a full heart.
The eventual profits are to help those who fight against this disease, that is, the Portuguese Society of Multiple Sclerosis.
In addition, although the book has the inclusive mission of bringing everyone to the table without the disease limiting its potential, it also appeals to the environmental cause and thus, among the testimonies, that of the Tamera Community emerges.
The book contains testimonies, e.g. from Ljubomir Stanisic, a Portuguese Chef and the testimony of the Portuguese Association of Cooks. Also, there are testimonies of several people working in health care.
And since life is also an art, there are illustrations that have been subject to an art critique!
The book does not yet exist on paper.
This campaign aims to raise the missing amount by the end of 2023 or early 2024.
To obtain the book, the minimum donations are:
21 euros (15 euros of the book plus 6 for mailing, shipping costs).
This is about 23.1 USDs.
The book is in Portuguese but translations of recipes will be provided in the future.
You should use the PayPal account to send your donations ruiprcar@gmail.com
Please pay the costs of the donation at PayPal.
Thank you. Please help this project!
