[...] I’ve been plenty blessed with fabulous press over the past few months, not least the above mention, along with many excellent blog reviews, as well–see 5-second rule’s take on my grandmother’s minestrone soup, or fall in love with Lori Times Five and her love letter to Nepenthe, as I did, then go ahead and follow her, and be soothed by her words.

This is a really nice write up of the “My Nepenthe” and very sweet interview with Nani. I’m Nani’s cousin and still live on the Nepenthe property. She did a truly phenomenonal job with style, grace, and heart, with respect for past, present, and future. By presenting “her” Nepenthe with no claims to a definitive history, she allows each of us to celebrate its gifts to our lives, and to feel part of something quite extraordinary. I am so proud of her, of the book, and of the whole Nepenthe family. Eccentric or otherwise, the foundation was always love.
