It was probably one of the darkest times in my life and I felt inconsolable. I wasn\u2019t working. I wasn\u2019t eating. I wasn\u2019t drinking. I wasn\u2019t doing much of anything except writing depressing songs and listening to even more depressing ones from my youth. I found it curious that the bands that got me through the general malaise of being a sad teenage goth served as a type of sonic comfort food for me as an even sadder adult. Was I having a midlife crisis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nick Cave was a particular go-to for me during that time, and he became the musical equivalent to my grandmother\u2019s lasagna. I devoured his music and binge listened for months. It was familiar and comforting; I thought whatever feeling emotional eaters gained from consuming a pint of ice cream, I got from blasting \u201cYour Funeral&#8230;My Trial.\u201d As heartbroken as I was, I reminded myself that Nick Cave had been through much worse. I wondered what he did during those trying times and found myself unconsciously doodling pictures of him weeping while eating. Each day the drawings got a little weirder and my mood got a little better. Eventually, these drawings became a zine, and that zine has now became this cookbook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1001\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6436\" src=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchili-1001x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchili-1001x1024.png 1001w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchili-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchili-768x786.png 768w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchili-1501x1536.png 1501w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchili-1320x1350.png 1320w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchili.png 1822w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1001px) 100vw, 1001px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"997\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6437\" src=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchimi-997x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchimi-997x1024.png 997w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchimi-292x300.png 292w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchimi-768x789.png 768w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchimi-1495x1536.png 1495w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchimi-1320x1356.png 1320w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickchimi.png 1818w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 997px) 100vw, 997px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6439\" src=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickicecream-1000x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickicecream-1000x1024.png 1000w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickicecream-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickicecream-768x786.png 768w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickicecream-1500x1536.png 1500w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickicecream-1320x1351.png 1320w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickicecream.png 1815w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/4692\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"999\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"6438\" src=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickonionrings-999x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickonionrings-999x1024.png 999w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickonionrings-293x300.png 293w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickonionrings-768x787.png 768w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickonionrings-1499x1536.png 1499w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickonionrings-1320x1353.png 1320w, https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/nickonionrings.png 1820w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 999px) 100vw, 999px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/microcosmpublishing.com\/catalog\/books\/4692\">Comfort Eating with Nick Cave: Vegan Recipes to Get Deep Inside of You<\/a> <\/em>is dedicated to anyone nursing a broken heart, a beer, and a burrito.
