Reviews

"Food writing meets true adventure in this book that sees the globe with local eyes. From Canada's west coast to the heart of South Sudan, the Flour Peddler reveals that local eating isn't just about food-it's about the way we relate to the people and places in our lives." -- J.B. MacKinnon, author, The 100-Mile Diet and The Once and Future World


"With their pedal-powered mills, the Hergesheimers show us that a little ingenuity has a big impact. This book shows they can peddle a great story too. Despite the roadblocks on their journey, their experience suggests a positive future for those who go against the grain of conventional capitalism." -- Robin Esrock, author, The Great Canadian Bucket List
