In the beginning the food was not to be had and the diet plans, recipes, and explanations were not to be found. Over the years this has be to change. There are ever-expanding farmers markets, small businesses, and cooperative ventures that are filling the food-availability gap. Hilary's and Mary's book is a valuable addition to the question of what to do with the food and why. This book is another small step in my eventual fading away, as I can finally say 'it's all out there now. Just follow the advice and wonderful recipes; my work is done.'"--Thomas Cowan, MD, author, The Fourfold Path to Healing, and co-author, The Nourishing Traditions Book of Baby & Child Care "The GAPS diet can change your life; the challenge is how to apply it.
