Food for Thought Reviews
“Just wanted to let you know that I featured your book in my presentation to my two classes over the past three days. To say that it is one of the very few books about food with recipes to dare to talk about the whole cycle - from soil to plate - and with the (your) knowledge and experience of what every step means on that journey. Including history and generations and place. I think/hope some of the students will buy it. I think it is quite an important book.”

“For those who have had the pleasure of meeting Phil you will recognise him in this wonderfully nostalgic book. It’s a gentle read, full of simple, stark facts which truly get you thinking. Numerous friends and colleagues of Phil's have contributed, ensuring that, throughout Phil's story, the book is packed with recipes presented as memoirs of ancestors, therapeutic interventions and other inventive forms, gently illustrating the power of food and how it impacts our lives.
Amongst the memoirs, there are actions and asks for us all to consider how we eat. For example, could we all make changes to eat more seasonally, “knowing we may well not eat a single apple between March and August”?
This book has successfully brought people together to tell a story and to force a message: food and farming is vital to our lives, and there is a better way. If you or anyone in your life is at all interested in any of these issues then this is a must-read!”
Kim Brooks, Managing Director, The Community Farm
“This is an inspirational book. Idealistic, brimming with ideas, and thoroughly practical. The author has been at the centre of the organic food revolution for over 30 years and is a passionate advocate of good, honest food. He has lived the 'good life', grown organic veg commercially, and started one of the first organic wholefood shops in the country. Few people know more about the subject. A book to inform, entertain and lift the spirit. Rare indeed!”
Alan Gear, Amazon Review
“A brilliant read about organic living and the ways that we can bring food to the table, from farming to recipes. This book highlights the benefits of healthy living, while showing that it can be achieved within a healthy planet. Phil’s own story is fascinating and a worthy read on its own, addin the great design and all the recipes and this book is great value for money.”
