Iron til golden on both sides.

I learned how to survive a Zombie Apocalypse… in prison. You can too.

Dawn de Brantes

Full meals made with a hot jug of water and a clothes iron, mostly from commissary. Funny, salty and real.

Commissary recipes, no kitchen needed

Potato Logs, Sushi Rolls, Cheesecake Balls, Molten Lava Balls, Mexican Lasagna and more. Every recipe works with what's on a federal commissary list, and every one can be made at home too.

Going to federal prison for the first time?

This is the part nobody tells you. Besides the recipes, the book covers:

A gift for someone in prison

People inside can't order books from me. Federal prisons only take books shipped straight from a publisher or a bookstore, so order it on Amazon and ship it to them at their facility. Put their full name and register number on the address.

It's already on its way to 26 women's federal prison libraries, with a note: For your library. Pass it on.

Free gifts for people inside and their families

About Dawn

Dawn de Brantes (TheHippieDiva) did four and a half years in federal prison and came home to build a life from the dirt up: a homestead, puppies, music and this book.

Questions

Can I send a book to an inmate in federal prison?

Yes, if it ships straight from a publisher or bookstore (like Amazon). Every facility has its own mail rules, so check bop.gov for theirs.

Is it only for women?

It's written for women inside, but anyone cooking without a kitchen can use it: dorm rooms, hotel rooms, camping.

Paperback or Kindle?

Paperback for someone inside. Kindle for you, today.
