Soup is universally loved: on a cold day, it feels good to wrap your fingers around a warm cup of Tomato Bisque; in the sickbed, just the aroma of Chicken Noodle Soup makes you feel better, nurtured and well fed. At the bottom of a ski run, a fall picnic, in a lunchbox thermos or on the table, a bowl of soup brings a warm glow to the body, gives strength and brings a smile and a sigh as the spoon is dipped in the broth. Ginna BB Gordon has spent her lifetime studying the art of soup. From Bonnebrook Farm in Ohio to the Chopra Center kitchen in La Jolla, and in all her professional and home kitchens in between, soup has been on the menu. Not just a book of 77 delicious recipes, The Soup Kit is a map to good soup. It contains everything a cook needs to know about the subject: a little history, a lot of spice and herb combos borrowed from other cultures, notes about thickeners and other additions, the right vegetable cut for the right end result, when to add which ingredient and more for soup that has layers of flavor and is chock full of nutrition.

Honey Baby Darlin' is a multi-volume series memoir about cooking, love and the love of cooking, in which many beloved characters help to develop a young girl's consciousness about food, the art of nurturing, and the kitchen. It tracks the journey of a girl cook on her quest to create beauty, to nurture, to comfort and to please palates: to hear the sighs of the well-fed. The Gingerbread Farm, Farm #2 in the Honey Baby Darlin' Series, follows Glory as she explores the 60s and 70s - from her grandfather's farm in Ohio to the Gingerbread Farm on California's beautiful Carmel Coastline. It is the 70s, and her pantry bulges with whole grains, the windowsills carry trays of sprouting seeds, and chickens once again scratch 'n scrabble in the backyard. Includes 160+ recipes and a few historical nuggets, both culinary and pop-cultural.

The Gingerbread Farm: Farm Two in the Honey Baby Darlin' Series

AUTHOR'S NOTE: 
Sweet Farm is the stage on which our players play. It is a Carmel Valley, California Lavender Farm of some local reknown. It is also the home of a revolving cast of characters all somehow related to the Wyman clan: farmers, artists, writers, musicians. They bond and clash in unusual ways as they create their lives one breath at a time.
The women are restless. The men are nervous. The girls are growing up in the 60s and they and their peers will become known as Baby Boomers, Flower Children, Hippies, Yuppies, the ME generation; they will be affected by the Vietnam War, Rock &amp; Roll, revolutions from sexual to political, and dramatic social change. But, mostly, they deal with their loves, children and homes as they relate to and are touched by those issues described above.
Deke Interrupted, Book Two in The Lavandula Series, begins with Stevie mapping her first sexual encounter and Jolene working out some guilt, while Tate and her mother get a big surprise.
There's more, of course. There's always more...
