"Geneen Roth has written an extraordinary book - at once beautiful, moving, funny and searing. Most important, she gives us a practical way to use our bodies - along with some of the most difficult parts of our emotional lives - as gracious and transformative portals to our soul."
--Rick Foster, co-author of Happiness & Wealth and How We Choose to Be Happy
"Women Food and God is daring, dazzling, funny, comforting, wise and profoundly spiritual. It maps the journey from the darkness of obsession to the pure sense of being in prose so insightful and astonishing it left me breathless. Geneen Roth is an international treasure, and her new book is a gift to us all."
-- Gay Hendricks, Ph.D. author of Five Wishes and Conscious Loving
"Geneen Roth does it again! Women Food and God is absolutely mesmerizing. And loaded with insights which can change your life."

In addition, I add herbs to all foods. i.e.
Cinnamon is a good additive to oatmeal in place of sugar.
I add ginger, sage, oregano and other herbs to sandwiches
and soups.
