Right now, as I write, the coronavirus is spreading across the world and many people are rushing to prepare for long term isolation.

People have gone to the grocery store to buy eggs, pasta and other staples that many of us use on a daily basis, making it hard for people doing their normal grocery shopping to find the food that they usually eat.

The recipes in this book have been created using research compiled from multiple grocery store chains about what foods people are not stocking up on, and are therefore still available to the general public.

This book was created so you can go into a half stocked grocery store and find the ingredients for good, healthy meals.

News about further isolation restrictions or the seriousness of the situation continues to alert us every day, and people are reacting to news in unpredictable ways.

Because of this, among other factors, there is no guarantee that these ingredients will be available at your usual grocery store.

However, based on the buying behavior that many shoppers and cooks have exhibited at the grocery store when the threat became apparent, it appears that the foods used in these recipes have significantly less demand than common staples.
