I Want Dopamine for Dinner

I Want Dopamine for Dinner by Phoebe Thorburn @honeybunchofoniontops is such a refreshing cookbook. As a vegan, I love seeing a book that celebrates delicious, exciting food while also considering neurodivergence, disability, sensory preferences and digestive needs.
What stands out is the idea that accessible food doesn’t have to mean boring food or settling for less. The book brings together vibrant vegan and gluten-free recipes, with low FODMAP considerations, while recognising that our energy and capacity can change from day to day.
I particularly appreciate the neuroaffirming approach behind the book. It makes space for different needs without treating them as something to overcome, and celebrates the joy and comfort that food can bring. The beautiful, maximalist presentation makes it a pleasure to explore, too.
This is more than a collection of recipes. It’s a celebration of making food work for you, embracing what brings you joy, and recognising that everyone deserves food that is both accessible and delicious. A wonderful addition to a vegan cookbook collection, especially for neurodivergent and disabled readers.
