I absolutely loved this book. I found it while searching for another book on a similar subject. In the past few weeks I have been making a considerable effort to eat mindfully, eat locally and eliminate processed food. This book has been a wealth of information. It also has many, many recipes that appeal and would likely become favorite go-tos. Part memoir and part cookbook, I enjoyed every minute of reading it and will likely reread it again very soon. Very well written with a wonderful sense of place, I loved reading about Ms. Mather's daily life and her neighbors and community, her love of food and the memories associated with it. Very highly recommend.
