B-I-G bravo to Kim Gabelmann on the publication of her beautiful, inspiring new book. Grab a copy or a few dozen for holiday gifts! - Larry Aidem, Media Advisor, Former CEO Sundance Channel.
Part cookbook, part memoir, part manifesto, it’s a reminder that food is never just food. It’s a choice, a connection, a story. It’s how we care for ourselves, each other, and the earth. Just as Sundance showed that creativity and purpose could live side by side, Kim’s book shows how independence and interconnection can thrive together: one meal, one mindful act, one community at a time. I’m so proud to celebrate this launch and to support a friend who continues to live and create with courage, creativity, and care. You are an inspiration!- Monique Frumberg, TV Producer (NY, NY).
This cookbook is exquisite! - Lois S. (Rehobeth Beach, DE)
