[Willard's]insights on the role of food in history and how its use can reveal profound truths about different cultures, are fresh and thought provoking.
PATRICIA FIELDSTEEL. The New York Times

Demonstrates....that the best food writing is inspired by deep needs that have little to do directly with food.

Through touching personal stories, Willard also offers support for stressed caregivers. These passages, and her healing discoveries, are presented in an earthy, modest, graceful prose that makes A Soothing Broth a petite treasure. --DANA JACOBI, Amazon.com
