    I love your cookbooks, your recipes, the story you tell of each dish, your blog, all of it! I went through intensive rehabilitation this year after having a stroke during surgery to remove a tumor; and through your cookbooks, I re-learned how to cook, rediscovered my love of baking, put my garden to good use, and fell in love with how my body felt eating plant-forward meals. My only request is I want another cookbook from you! 🙂
