The Kitchen Healer is a beautiful experience from start to finish. Its magnificent cover showcases exquisite florals, fruit and furnishings surrounding the equally beautiful author. It sets the stage for a journey, unlike any other. Not much of a cook I was intrigued. And thus began my journey. From the second I opened the book I felt a profound sense of peace. The book is filled with warm and inviting photos, which made this reviewer feel I had stepped into the author’s kitchen, and although I was there in spirit only, I felt the warmth of her words and beat of her loving heart touch my mind and reach my soul. I could hear the broth boiling, the kettle whistling, and the sugar beckoning me to reach out and enjoy. Yes, there are recipes throughout this book, but the book is so much more than the garden variety cookbook. It is a recipe for peace, comfort and love. It is an invitation for self exploration and self-care. It is a passport for leisure and joy. The book is a come as you are a party, where you will be welcomed and accepted wherever you are at- the reader will be welcomed with understanding, compassion, and joy. As I continued to read I felt as if I was being wrapped up in a warm blanket of words. I felt peace throughout my body. If you’re looking for this type of experience I highly recommend this journey of mind and soul. This reviewer is grateful to have stumbled upon this precious piece of art. This book is truly a one of a kind.
