AB  - The article explores the concept of gender and gender roles in a spiritual book titled Jak si uvařit (vlastní) vesmír (How to cook up (your own) universe) by Kamila 'Kamu' Chadimová, a famous Czech chef and Instagram influencer. As the book is based on the worldview of Alternative (New Age) Spirituality, a full understanding of its concept of gender and gender roles needs to be put in the context of Alternative Spirituality's core doctrinal traits. The article emphasizes the importance of the concepts of (spiritual) energy and (spiritual) holism as two of the most important traits of Alternative Spirituality and examines them in the context of Kamu's life story.
