My Journal, My Cooking captures the life and recipes of cooking instructor and micro influencer John Rocha over 300 days in 2018 and 2019. Based on his encounters with people in his cooking classes and from his travels around the world, every little episode gives him the inspiration to translate his thoughts and feelings into over 40 recipes including the nostalgic Rocha Style’s Borscht Soup, a dish inspired from his memory of New Years’ Eve celebration; Cheesy Minchi Croquettes, a newly creative recipe to remember John’s beloved father; Tofu with Ricotta Cheese, a dish inspired from his temple stay experience in Japan.

This is not just a cookbook. It is a cookbook imbued with love and meaning. We hope readers will join John on his culinary and personal journey through reading his journal entries and making his recipes, and in response experience the joyous moments of cooking and sharing dishes with their own family and friends.
