Out of this situation only good will come. I am Safe. One of my favorite affirmations.” Louise Hay on twitter I love reading about cookbooks people own, new ones they’ve added to their collections, and often find myself adding books to my wish list. Ottolenghi: The Cookbook was one such wonderful book, and I was thrilled when Hilda presented it to me. The connect was special, and the book worth every printed word.

I couldn’t believe my good…
