Praise for
Feeding the Hungry Ghost
by Ellen Kanner

“Just what it takes, on and off the plate, to enjoy a richer life today.”

— Mireille Guiliano, author of
French Women Don’t Get Fat

“Beyond being a collection of recipes, this is a book about living. Ellen is like having an elfin, white, Jewish, vegan Oprah whispering in your ear that ‘it’s going to be more than okay, honey — it’s going to be magical!’ ”

— from the foreword by Norman Van Aken, coauthor
(with Justin Van Aken) of
My Key West Kitchen
