I ordered this book first not long after I opened my bookshop in 1988, as I had a lesbian & gay section. I read it, LOVED it, and bought more copies for friends gay & straight. It's about food, about love, about family, about pain & joy, about feeling a failure & celebrating success, about mixing of ingredients of life, as well as of the recipe, which can be spontaneous & magical! Wish I knew Bode! Want to share food with her! WISH this book was still in print - it SO ought to be . . . By the way I don't happen to be gay, but I am a daughter, I am a woman with friends of every kind, and I love this book so much. Often re-read it - it has parts that make me cry, and parts I laugh over, every time. Write more, Bode - & get this one back in print somehow!! Your work is lovely - delicious! ~ Naomi x

Of course I love it...
I wrote it! I lost the few copies I had left in Hurricane Katrina and thanks to Alibris, I was able to replace them (I'm out of print). I reread what I wrote back in the 1980s, and still kind of feel like I did a good job. The book is sub-titled "Recipes for Lesbian Health & Wisdom," and yes, it is lesbian centered, but I really meant it to be for everyone. By the way, Diana Souza's illustrations are brilliant.
