Two Cookbooks. One Mission: Food That Actually Works for Your Life.

Most cookbooks are written for people with time. These two were written for everyone else.

Good Food Fast: The Single Parent Kitchen Solution

Dr. Akua Agyeman wrote this book as a single parent and a physician — two identities that gave her an unusually honest view of what weeknight cooking actually looks like. The result is a cookbook built around a specific, demanding constraint: one adult, up to four children, thirty minutes, real food on the table.

Every recipe in Good Food Fast is nutritious, budget-friendly, and designed to be finished before the third homework argument starts. There are no recipes that require mise en place, no ingredients sourced from specialty stores, no assumption that you have a second adult to hand things to you from the fridge. The book includes printable planning tools because the author understood that the problem is not just cooking — it is the ten minutes before cooking, when you realize you have nothing planned.

This is practical love. The kind that shows up on a Tuesday.

Afro-Fusion Functional Medicine Cookbook

This book began with a question that most nutrition literature refuses to ask: why does eating well require abandoning the food you grew up with?

Dr. Agyeman is a physician trained in functional medicine — the practice of treating the whole system rather than isolated symptoms, using food, environment, and lifestyle as primary tools. She is also a woman whose culinary roots run through West African and Caribbean traditions. The Afro-Fusion Functional Medicine Cookbook is what happens when those two identities stop apologizing to each other.

The recipes in this book are built on principles of cellular nourishment — anti-inflammatory ingredients, gut-supportive preparation methods, nutrient density — but they arrive there through jollof, through fermented sides, through the spice profiles that actually make food worth eating. The book is a challenge to the assumption that wellness cuisine has to be beige.

Dr. Agyeman is not asking you to eat like a patient. She is asking you to eat like someone who knows what their body deserves.

What Both Books Share

They were written for people the mainstream food publishing world consistently overlooks: single parents navigating impossible schedules, and people of African and Caribbean heritage whose food traditions are nutritionally sophisticated but rarely treated as such in wellness literature.
