Marcia Breece
“The bouquet of assorted meats, onions, garlic, thyme, bay and parsley wrapped around her like a warm, familiar quilt.”
― Marcia Breece, The Last Bottle

“Water carries all the stories. That is why we are made up of water. Our bodies store one continuous story about us, the story of our first ancestors to the present moment.
That is why we carry the battle of the dark and the light.”
― Suzy Valtsioti, Lyra's Kitchen: A Culinary Chronicle of Simmering Secrets
