“Recipes for the Soul: Cooking Up Gratitude, One Thanksgiving at a Time” is a lyrical, deeply moving exploration of the human heart disguised as a holiday reflection. Blending storytelling, psychology, and cultural history, Joseph Ejike Ojih (Ph.D.) transforms the familiar Thanksgiving table into a mirror of love, loss, forgiveness, and endurance. Each chapter unwraps a different emotional layer—nostalgia stirred by scent, unspoken grief seated beside laughter, the science of gratitude in hardship, and the quiet redemption of forgiveness. This is not a cookbook of ingredients but a map of emotions—how families mix tenderness and tension, how memory seasons every dish, and how the act of gathering becomes an ancient ritual of survival. Through heartfelt stories drawn from real experiences and timeless research, Dr. Ojih reveals that gratitude is not the product of abundance but the art of finding grace amid scarcity.

The book moves beyond the holiday to illuminate a universal truth: that every table, whether rich or modest, holds the same hunger—to be seen, to be forgiven, to belong. Readers will find themselves laughing, weeping, and ultimately awakening to a new kind of thanksgiving—one that lasts long after the dishes are cleared. Recipes for the Soul is an invitation to taste life differently, one act of gratitude at a time.
