Working with Suki was the beginning of freedom
“Working with Suki was the beginning of freedom from an eating disorder that had controlled my life for years. Her intentionally crafted recipes helped me enjoy food—shame-free—for the first time in a long time. That kitchen didn’t just feed me, it changed me. Her approach to nourishment sparked a lasting shift toward healing and holistic living.”

The voice on the page is unmistakably hers
“I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Jennifer 'Suki', and for anyone who knows her, this book rings true to her spirit. The voice on the page is unmistakably hers: calm, encouraging, and gently guiding you to find your own path to self-care through the joy of food. This isn’t just a cookbook. It’s part memoir, part invitation to a more peaceful relationship with nourishment. Written for the home cook, the aspiring chef, and anyone longing for ease with food, it doesn’t follow the usual cookbook formula. Instead, the stories and descriptions come alive, so vivid you can see, smell, and almost taste each dish as the words dance on the page.”

Welcome to Jennifer's table. Come ready to be nourished in every sense of the word.
“Look, I've tasted plenty of food that looks beautiful but leaves you somehow empty. I've also experienced what Jennifer creates: dishes that hit differently. Food that doesn't just satisfy hunger but actually makes you feel more like yourself. More grounded. More nourished in the truest sense of the word. Her gift is the ability to transform simple, whole ingredients into something that feeds not just the body, but the soul.”
~Chef Chad Kelley

With Soul Nourished, you’ll discover that cooking at home can feel both elevated and easeful—a way to gather, to heal, and to remember the deeper meaning behind the meals we share.
From The Author
I didn’t write Soul Nourished because the world needed another cookbook. I wrote it because I needed to remember myself.
After nearly two decades in the restaurant industry, I knew what it meant to cook under pressure, to feed hundreds, to perform perfection night after night. What I didn’t know was how to feed myself—how to cook in a way that healed instead of depleted. Burnout, grief, and loss finally brought me back to the kitchen in a new way, one where food became more than a career. It became medicine.
Soul Nourished is the collection of recipes, stories, and rituals that carried me from exhaustion back to wholeness. Every dish is healthful by design, built on classic technique but adapted for modern ease. It’s not about restriction or performance—it’s about remembering that food can hold us, connect us, and remind us we belong.
This book is my invitation back to the table. Not just to eat, but to gather. To heal. To rise well-fed.
What you will find inside
This cookbook isn’t just another stack of recipes; it’s a guide to cooking with ease, intention, and joy. Alongside recipes, you’ll learn mindful techniques and practices that turn everyday cooking into ritual, practice how to pause, taste, breathe, and let the kitchen become a place of grounding instead of stress.
Inside, you’ll discover how to simplify your time in the kitchen with the right tools and pantry staples, so every meal feels doable, not daunting. From my now-famous Sweet Potato Mash to my grandfather’s Collard Greens & Cornbread, from the comfort of Soulful Jambalaya to the spice and depth of Coconut Curry Mussels, these dishes carry story, memory, and flavor.
You’ll also uncover the abundance of properly prepared citrus and fresh herbs as ingredients that brighten, heal, and remind us that nourishment can be both simple and elevated.
With Soul Nourished, you’ll find food that’s healthful by design, rooted in classic technique, infused with mindful practice, and always made to bring people together.
