I've been reading "Eat up!" by ruby tandoh, and I'm only a little bit into it, like 2 chapters, but this is exactly the kind of thing I was trying to to get at with my dungeon dinners!!! I might try to write up my experiences cooking like she does in this book. it's really nice. also the focus of the book is body neutral and fed is best which is so refreshing to read in a book about food. She'll sooner tell you about the meditative virtue of waiting for the microwave to heat up your chef boyardee than tell you how to make your own Soylent gruel of a meal prep diet. it's nice

Sounds interesting. I'll have to check it out!
I planned on writing about my experiences with intuitive eating/becoming anti diet for my website. Since I've been sick and easing back into eating normally, it felt like a good time to write it!
"Using the microwave timer as a point for meditation" has absolutely brainblasted me. Like, yeah, of course! It's small, it's routine, it's manageable. I'm gonna put my phone down the next time I gotta heat something up.
Edit: Also a fun point - so there's this food & culinary history book called Consider the Fork by Bee Wilson. It basically walks through the creation of various cooking technologies (i.e. bowls, fire, knives, eating utensils), tracking their development across various cultures and how they shape those respective cuisines. In the Fire chapter, where she talks about ovens, she eventually brings up microwaves and makes a genuinely solid argument about using them to cook things in addition to just reheating cooked things. And that was a really interesting reframe to experience.
I'll check it out!!! interestingly enough I don't own as microwave lol but I do plenty of other short timed things like using my toaster oven or kettle
