Martina Trommer

I am constantly trying to hold my spoons together (please google spoon theory, if you haven’t heard about it yet, thank you!). I am also writing about living a dis_abled life with multiple chronic conditions in an ableist society. I am carrying a lot of softness inside me, and I strive to become even softer. To pay my bills, I am working as a recipe developer, food photographer and stylist, and food is one of my biggest passions. I love the color pink.

Year of birth: 1990

    Ruby Tandoh’s 2021 cookbook “Cook As You Are”. It is an accessible, inclusive and inspirational addition to any and every kitchen. Plus: there’s also an easy-read version of it.
