REVIEWS:

“As I read this book, I feel nourished with inspirations from the Tao, served in delicious, digestible morsels of wisdom. Each beautiful paragraph offers up a meditation to be savored. As in the Tao, no word is wasted here. In simple, exquisite lessons, this book guides us to inhabit our whole selves, body, mind, heart, and soul. By doing so, we heal our relationship with food and eating.”
— Alison Shore Gaines, Director of Purification and Sacred Nourishment Retreats, Kripalu Center, Omega Institute

“There are many books out there about diets and nutrition, but very few that really speak to nourishment. Ms. Terp’s writing is simply wise; the kind of advice you would only hope to get from an honest friend or spiritual teacher on the subject of sensibly nourishing yourself. This is guidance for how to eat, rather than what you eat.”
— Donna McKeen Condon, Executive Director of the NOAH Center (New Opportunities of Alternative Healing)

“Elizabeth’s book is great nutrition for the everyday soul.”
— Terry Johnson, APRN, Nurse Psychotherapist
