The warmth of Kingsolver's life, home, and kitchen is wonderfully translated to the page, as is the notion that if we choose to care, we can reconnect to our bodies, our communities, our families, and yes, the sources of our food. And while the majority of people reviewing this book tend to say something along the lines of… "we don’t expect Kingsolver thinks we'll all start gardening and raising chickens…" I would have to say that I think Kingsolver hopes she has at least ignited our hopes that we could if we wanted to. She, her husband (Steven Hopp) and her daughter (Camille Kingsolver) certainly give us enough inspiring narrative, sidebar snapshots of the current state of food in the world, and seasonal recipes from their year, to encourage action over defeated sighs of complacency. This is a very important book for everyone who eats: those of us with enough money to choose exactly what we want, and those of us on food stamps: we can all benefit from Kingsolver's experience and insight.
