Featured Books
Meals on Lockdown
When food is stripped of care and choice, people adapt.
Meals on Lockdown is a raw and honest collection of recipes created while the author is incarcerated—built from limited ingredients, limited tools, and a deep desire for taste and dignity. These meals weren’t created for perfection or presentation. They were created to survive the day.
Using only what was available and permitted, these recipes document how people inside turn basic items into something intentional. Part cookbook and part record of lived experience, this book shows how creativity and care can exist even in confinement.
Inside you’ll find breakfasts, meals, spreads, beverages, desserts, and simple base methods created under real conditions.
Meals on Lockdown is not a celebration of incarceration—it is a witness to resilience, ingenuity, and the human need to nourish both body and spirit.

The goal of Little Miss Manners is to provide children with an entertaining way to learn the basic concepts of good manners.
