This book is a great help to anyone too tired to cook something fancy or even on a daily-homecooked-meal level.
It‘s perfect for those who can‘t be bothered to move too much in summer heat, habe low energy after work, are no talents whatsoever in the kitchen or are simply unable to make more than a few hand gestures in the kitchen because of (mental) illness or stress or simply are on low budget but want to not always eat things the same way every day.

In few but in depth chapters Eby shows how an egg or whether a bread is toasted or not can sometimes make the difference. How to use what you have in your kitchen. From canned goods to ramen noodle packages - she takes the shame off low-effort cooking (or assembling) and has many useful tipps (such as how to add extra protein or why mayonnaise and tomatos go together on bread or that miso paste is a great extra to have because it adds a unique salty flavor AND stays good in the fridge for a year).

This book full of recipes looks to simplify cooking, making, and eating food when it doesn't seem quite so simple. The ideas are mostly things that the general person might have around, and even some items that are a little more obscure.
