Here&#39;s an excerpt of what she had to say:<br /><br />"Richardson, who first discovered her talent for writing about food issues here at Daily Kos as <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/uid:40125">OrangeClouds115</a>, has turned in a terrific book in <em>Recipe for America</em>, managing to organize into one smooth narrative information as disparate as employing undocumented workers and the lobbying that goes into the Farm Bill. Under her educated eye, the pieces of the enormous puzzle of legislation, policy, science and environmentalism are woven together in a book that can serve as an introduction to those unfamiliar with the sustainable food movement, while expanding the base of knowledge of those who&#39;ve been reading on the topic for years. <p>"This is no small feat. Juggling the needs of newcomers to a topic without losing the interest of the already informed is a problem that many writers with many more books under their belt than Richardson have failed to solve."</p> <style type="text/css">body { background: #FFF; } </style> http://www.recipeforamerica.com/news/40 http://www.recipeforamerica.com/news/40 Mon, 07 Sep 2009 23:26:43 -0700 <div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n257/OrangeClouds_115/RFAcover.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /><br /><br /></div>I&#39;ve added a new button to my blog (<a href="http://www.lavidalocavore.org">La Vida Locavore</a>) to allow people to order autographed copies of the book.
