Reviews

An intensely felt and highly personal description of the transformation of a Zen cook's life through cooking. Beautifully written, with flowering prose, this book will inspire anyone who cooks.
*Hilary Richards, Retreat Leader, Western Chan Fellowship*

There are many delicious recipes tucked inside these pages, but the main one is this: in responding to each moment with authenticity, inquiry, compassion and mindfulness, we truly encounter the wonder of our lives.
*Ned Reiter, Zen Practitioner and Registered Medical Herbalist*

Florencia's food feeds not just the body but the spirit.
*Judy Gray, York Steiner School*

Put simply, Feeding Orchids to the Slugs is the best book I've ever thought I'd not want to read.
*Real Epicurean*

The reader cannot help but be affected by this author's ability to see cooking as a joy and by the way her spirit shines through her words as she describes her recipes. She speaks of her cooking as a kind of alchemy - the transformation of basic ingredients into food.
*Green Spirit Magazine*

Feeding Orchids to the Slugs is one of the most honest and moving accounts of an individual's personal journey that we have had the pleasure of reading. This is a book that we would strongly recommend to anyone. It would also make a perfect gift, being a carefully crafted hardback with superb illustrations by Michaela Meadow.
*Buddhist Book Reviews*

I've read a few other reviews of 'Feeding Orchids to The Slugs' on the net to see how other people described it; "evocative" seems to be the word used the most, and I couldn't think of a better one myself.
*Real Epicurean*

A Zen cook's life is transformed through cooking. Beautifully written, with flowing prose, this book will inspire anyone who cooks.
*Hilary Richards, Retreat Leader, Western Chan Fellowship*
