An illustrated collection of recipes and advice based around the experiences of women separated from their families by imprisonment. Beyond Porridge engages with creativity, social interactions and diversity within prison walls. The book explains how women in prison use limited ingredients to supplement their standard prison diet and enjoy a 'minor feast'. It tells of the comfort foods they miss most. In their own words and illustrations the book shows how ingenuity can spring from the most unlikely of circumstances. The book is based on a project led by researchers at the University of Surrey. It introduces readers to Chocolate Pudding in a Mug, a quick version of Callaloo prepared in a prison cell, Mackerel Curry, Pumpkin Seed Fry, Oreo Cheesecake, Kettle Chow Mein and various Midnight Snacks. Beyond Porridge is a book that says as much about the prison experiences of women as it does their inventive recreational activities.
