“The great part of having this blog is that people write to me! I received an email from a gal who took my Natural Foods Cooking Class in 1980. She had moved to an area with ‘horrid bread’ and wanted to know if I could send her a copy of this bread recipe. For me, the real satisfying part of her note was that she said I was a great influence on her eating habits. She expressed thanks that our store had survived (Believe me, thirty years ago everyone had their doubts!) and said people are finally taking notice. She is right!

This particular recipe comes from The New York Times Natural Foods Cookbook published in 1971. Some one received it in a book club and gave it to me because she knew I was eating natural foods. My English Setter puppy got a hold of it and chewed it up, and with use, it lost it’s cover. My copy looks pretty sad! There are a lot of memories here.” - Sheila Ouellette
