"Every time I travel to Michigan I stop by Eve’s exquisite restaurant, which makes the long car ride all the more worth it. Eve’s unequivocally divine technique paired with seasonal foods creates the ideal balance of what makes a meal perfect. This cookbook is a testimony to her unfailing devotion to the delicious and all the consistently amazing stuff coming out of her kitchen like a summer storm."
-Mario Batali, Chef/Author
"Eve Aronoff is deeply committed to the Slow Food movement. She buys the freshest, liveliest ingredients from local, organic farmers and cooks with simplicity and spice."
-Alice Waters, Owner, Chez Panisse
"This book is not merely a great cookbook, rather it is a roadmap for legitimate chefs, professional and amateur alike. It communicates clearly the correct combinations of ingredients and techniques, but more importantly it declares the responsibility that we all share for sourcing our ingredients, at home or in our restaurants, from small family farmers whose livelihoods are dependant upon our making the right decisions. I strongly recommend that you buy this book and follow its example!"
-Todd Wickstrom, Co-Founder of Heritage Foods USA
"Eve is a master at turning a meal into an experience that can never be forgotten. From the moment you sit down, to when you depart, Eve caresses all the senses. Everything that Eve does at her restaurant and writes in this book is sure to bring joy to those lucky enough to experience it."
-Patrick Martins, Founder, Slow Food USA
"Eve is a wonderful hostess and an amazing chef. Her restaurant is our favorite in Ann Arbor for the relaxed elegant ambience combined with a truly original menu. Whether our anniversary celebration or an introduction of friends to Ann Arbor, our experience there always surpasses expectation."
-Lisa and Bill Ford
"Eve worked for us as a young chef and it was clear from the very beginning that there was something special here…a real love and caring for her food. It is great that an up and coming chef emerged from our restaurant to become a local success."
