This is not a cookbook.It's what happens after you've cooked for everyone else. The Stash Box is a funny, honest, deeply relatable book about food, survival, and the quiet systems women build to take care of themselves when life keeps asking for more. With sharp Southern wit and hard-earned perspective, Angel McHaven explores how something as small as a hidden snack can become a boundary, a comfort, and a form of freedom. This book is for women who: -are tired of being last -have learned to improvise instead of collapse -know that self-care isn't always candles and baths... sometimes it's cheese eaten in peace Through humor, reflection, and unapologetic truth, The Stash Box speaks to anyone who has ever needed a moment that was just theirs and found it in the kitchen, the quiet, or the small rituals that keep us standing. As the author says: "The Stash Box is not food. It is freedom." If you're looking for a book that will make you laugh, feel seen, and quietly remind you that you're allowed to take care of yourself... this one belongs on your shelf.
