Quote from the forward by author Scott Sayre: " You occasionally meet someone who is doing exactly what seems most natural to them, an artist who seems boundlessly creative, a healer who tirelessly works to reveal healing, or a singer who gets the notes right in such a way that you could never imagine them otherwise. Enter Chef Valerie Wilson, a plant-based chef who has put in the time to achieve mastery. You can see it in her eyes when she talks about cooking. You can read it in her books, you can sense it when you read what people have experienced with her. This book reveals all those hours, the care and precision, no, really the artistry that she has perfected. Each recipe is like a revelation."
