This novel of purportedly found documents, including journals and biographical interludes, takes on this psychological mystery while exploring through its nested narratives the possibilities of fiction. Were you first in line on Super Saturday as your favourite neighbourhood restaurant or local pub reopened?

After fasting, choose either between a high-carbohydrate and high-protein meal first, such as a protein shake and some fruit, or something high in fat and high in protein. Whether your loved one is a fan of Grace (either in the book or TV show format), or just loves a good police procedural, PICTURE YOU DEAD won’t disappoint – this time, Grace is caught up in the cut-throat world of fine art collection. My nexMy friend who frequently eats breakfast out with his girlfriend wouldn’t be able to eat the way I do. In conclusion, the time I spent in the kitchen taught me that with passion, love, hard work, and a little assistance everything can be achieved in life.

My family is loud, crazy and not afraid to voice their opinions so there is always drama at every dinner or family event.It’s also beneficial to engage your “nutrivore” seeking skills (read “Maximize your Health: Be a Nutrivore” here) in this meal as well.

So when breaking the intermittent fast, I recommend consuming smoothies with greens, avocado and/or nut butter, protein powder and low fruit content; or an omelet cooked in a healthy fat with low-starch vegetables and eggs; or a salad with protein and nuts and seeds.

How exotic a sashimi-style raw Cornish bonito with tempura clams and gazpacho dressing seemed, and a simple courgette salad with chilli, garlic and parmesan, components of a meal bookended by the half-a-dozen briny rock oysters I’ve been dreaming about all lockdown, and a richly satisfying crème brûlée.

Eloquently written, Castellanos illustrates the inner thoughts of an educated and independent woman who has to forget all she knows and enter a unknowing world where she must depend on a man and take on the traditional role of a woman; a housewife.
