This is the first book Ive ever read that I looked for an address to write the author and let her know how much I enjoyed her work. A wonderful story with great information and delicious recipes, it gave me the courage to bake my first loaf of bread (Honey-Oat toward the end of the book) that turned out beautifully. The weekend following my reading of it I went out to look for local food, which is easier said than done in Orlando, Florida, and decided to actually put forth effort to live locally. Inspiring and wonderfully written.
