"The book is a little masterpiece, a unique collection of thanksgiving blessings gathered with a scholar's insight & a poet's love for the beauty of language. The author has traced the central role that food blessings occupy in the life of the family, from the dawn of civilization to the present. Whether primitive or privileged culture, all races and religions have expressed heartfelt thanksgiving to God for life-giving food as physical & spiritual nourishment."
