A new day is a unique moment, a singular opportunity. No day is like the last, and no day is like what's to come. We have arrived, and we are simultaneously arriving.

In her profound and challenging book, A Recipe for More: Choosing a Life of Pleasure and Abundance, creative, host, and pleasure doula Sara Elise delves into the forces that keep us in a state of survival and limitation and invites us to consider a new way to live. Sara Elise leaves us with the essence of being present to what is unfolding around us and open to the change that is possible in that empty space.

A Recipe for More is a quest to examine the ingredients of our lives, those essential components that make up our days. Have we chosen rest, breath, movement, agency, visibility, play, and pleasure? Or are we trapped in the numbing and violent pattern of self-inflicted suffering? Do we celebrate the unique and precious wiring of our brains? Are our relationships a garden of ever-growing and evolving roots? Do we nourish our bodies with what it requires to sense and receive? Are we liberated, awakened, and alive?

In the tradition of Adrienne Maree Brown and Sonya Renee Taylor, A Recipe for More is a radical argument for dismantling the systems that oppress us. But it begins with the individual, and the simple recipe of our every day.

Groundbreaking, persuasive, inclusive, and warm, A Recipe for More brings the ingredients of an abundant life to all readers so that we might honor ourselves, deepen our communities, and finally be present in each miraculous and life-giving singular moment.

With contributions by Fariha Róisín, Tourmaline, Tatyana Fazlalizadeh, Ryann Holmes (bklyn boihood), Naima Green, J Wortham, and more, this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
