Thank you for all the support it’s riding high on the Amazon chart and still only £5!

[Ryan Riley @RyanRileyy]

Hey Twitter, my latest cookbook designed for people struggling with mental health is down to just £5 from £22 on Amazon. It’s some of my best work and I’d love it become an Amazon best-seller. 🥹

Solo recipes, science backed flavour.

Goodbye 2024. You were probably top two worst years of my life. I published a best selling cookbook, had a retail range but I struggled with my mental health & so many people died in my life. 2025, it’s time to rebuild myself & my empire. Embracing failure & healing are my goals.

[Ryan Riley @RyanRileyy]

Not sure if there’s any good left on Twitter but my cookbook ‘Small Pleasures: Joyful Recipes for Difficult Times’ designed to help people with taste loss/depression/struggling to cook or eat is only £6.85 today, 70% off on Amazon!

I’ve never had so many amazing offers of support, work, collaborations, opportunities as the last few days. If you want to reach out too just email me [email protected], I’m open to everything ♥️

[Ryan Riley @RyanRileyy]

Thank you ALL for your lovely support!

@LifeKitchen has some exciting new projects this year, ONLY our physical cookery school in the North East is closing, Life Kitchen is still surviving and supporting ♥️

[Ryan Riley @RyanRileyy]

Just a little FYI! @LifKitchen continues on we are only closing the cookery school, more classes, products, books and events to come!

[Ryan Riley @RyanRileyy]

It’s the end of an era, it’s with a heavy heart that I can announce today we close the doors on the iconic @LifeKitchen Cookery School.

It has been our immense privilege to be custodians of such a beautiful building with so much history in our beautiful, home city.

The school ran for 5 years helping thousands of people and has been host to celebrities, politicians, TV crews, parties, celebrations and of course many many of our iconic multi-award-winning cookery classes.

Extremely tough economic times, continued rising costs and lack of funding are just some of the factors behind our decision, the building is Grade 2 listed and is extremely expensive to maintain, heat and insure.

Thank you to everyone who made our dreams come true, the hundreds of you who helped build it, the thousands of you that used our services.

I will never forget our opening party with @Nigella_Lawson and I cherish how far we have come.

Do not fear, Life Kitchen continues. We will continue to provide our service to those who need it and have lots of great things to announce shortly.

But for now, from me @Kimdukee and the Life Kitchen team, thank you and au-revoir..

[Ryan Riley @RyanRileyy]

News outlets around the UK are picking up not only on the Life Kitchen cookbook but also on our world first taste enhancing food range with @holland_barrett.

@LifeKitchen has six years of experience of helping people with taste loss from covid, cancer and so much more and I’m thrilled to see the range getting the love it deserves.

Out now in 1000 Holland and Barrett stores and online.

In today’s Mail on Sunday, @Dr_Ellie writes about King Charles losing his sense of taste during cancer treatment and recommends my Life Kitchen cookbook in the article. Thank you Ellie.
