The Good Food Revolution by Will Allen

This book hardly needs my endorsement, so far it's had amazing reviews from Oprah's Magazine and Former President Clinton. But Since my opinion is clearly as valuable as a former president I thought I'd share my thoughts on it too. ;)

The Book is THE GOOD FOOD REVOLUTION by Will Allen and to say it's inspiring would be an understatement. It was so inspiring it made me feel like a bad person. :) Mr. Allen doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk, grows the food and cooks it too, all while shaping his community!

I originally thought this book would be an Urban Gardening reference book . . . but it turned out to be so much more. Mr.Allen has a passion for making 'good food' accessible to everyone, so much so that he spent his retirement savings on a plot of land in his home town of Milwaukee, a half mile away from Milwaukee's largest public housing project. A plot of land which now employs young local teens, and feeds thousands every year.

If you're interested in Urban Gardening this is a really great book to keep in your library. If you're just looking for a great read . . . this book fits that bill too.  But I think what I loved most about it was that it combined useful information, tied up with an amazing, and inspiring story. One person can make a difference, Will Allen is proof.

I hope you'll consider giving The Good Food Revolution a read!!! It definitely gets Mini Manor's seal of approval . . . which is just as good as any presidential endorsement! ;) hehe
