A thoughtful response

“Sometimes we forget how good simple things can be.”

 What could be more sustainable than cooking a meal at home using fresh, local and organic products?  A friend recently sent me the new cookbook, TENDER farmers, cooks, eaters by Tamara Murphy, and what a treat it turned out to be.  From the scrumptious photos to the mouth-watering recipes and sprinkled liberally with quotes for quiet reflection and simplicity at its finest, this turned out to be too lovely a book to hide on the shelf.  TENDER has earned a spot on my living room table, where I can refer to it often in planning for the next gathering with family and friends.
