"... a serendipitous find... Memento... is a small but beautifully produced cookbook.... stuffed with simple goodies that can be locally grown or foraged... made my mouth water. Memento is illustrated in lovely soft... colours by Bly Kaye and makes a delightful hostess gift with an island twist."

"My books are chosen and the hammock strung
All I need is...
June sunshine, a little time,
Maryanna's oysters, a glass of wine."

Andrea Spalding, Avid Magazine
 

"I'm really not able to start a Julie/Julia thing but I want you to know that I have now tried one recipe from your lovely book (Broccoli Cheese Soup) and it was a big hit."

"I truly adore the book. My friend Cath made cookies from your book and shared them with me and I was so full of joy that I almost called you right there and then. Since, I have made the cookies several times and enjoyed them ever so much!!!"

"Thank you so much for your very beautiful book. It is absolutely stunning. Your layout and Bly's drawings are perfect....I've already tried the blackberry vinegar recipe as I had some blackberry juice frozen from juicing in the fall. What a great way to use it."

"I was SO blown away to get the lovely, LOVELY book."

"Thank you so much for the gorgeous book. The recipes sound delicious - mouth watering as I read them and the style and variety of recipes is lovely. Also the art, Bly, is gorgeous."

"You and Bly should be very proud of yourselves! What a beautiful collaboration of food and art. I am looking forward to trying the recipes which sound so tasty. Just the inspiration I was looking for to add some zest to my cooking."
