Grab your knife, fork, and plate and get ready to sit down to one of the most delicious and unusual 'cookbooks' you’ve ever opened with Terrell Jabbarr’s SQUASH THE BEEF and accept your Path & Purpose. Written by a chef, SQUASH THE BEEF isn’t your average cookbook. It’s more. Much more. Artfully written and imminently engaging, SQUASH THE BEEF is a collection of recipes and homespun wisdom. In its pages, you’ll find recipes, techniques, and how-tos from the kitchen and valuable life lessons and relational skills based on their author’s life experiences. Part autobiography, part cookbook, and part inspiration, SQUASH THE BEEF serves up a recipe for life that’s all heart. The manner in which the author weaves food into his personal story and adds a flavorful life lesson or observation onto the plate is masterful. The text is well-organized and easy to follow. In chapter one, for example, the author notes that just as every ingredient in a recipe has a 'unique and distinct profile,' so does every person have a unique personality and distinct qualities. In Lean on Me, the author writes, 'We had each other’s back like biscuits.' He explains that laying biscuits on a sheet pan so they’re touching side-by-side causes them to rise to their highest. (Who knew?) This is used as a bridge to explain that during life’s trials, friends and families must stand back-to-back and shoulder-to-shoulder to 'rise and stand our tallest.' And just as biscuits require closeness, cookies require space. This segues into the importance of personal space and setting up boundaries. Additional chapters include:It’s Gravy -How to fix a broken gravy or repair broken relationships. Balanced meals -Balancing life, work, family, and finances. Breaking Bread - the importance of resting and relaxing in mind, body, and spirit. The writing style is warm and friendly. It’s like your next-door neighbor just opened their kitchen door and invited you in for a chat. Gently faith-flavored, the life lessons imparted offer plenty of food for thought. The food idioms toward the end will make you smile. Get ready to sink your teeth into a book that’s as DELICIOUS as it is perspicacious, charming, & captivating. Much more than a cookbook! You’ll love it!
