Editorial Reviews

Review

"With lush photographs and spare prose, Ms. Viljoen has used 66 Square Feet to record her life as a gardener, a cook and an urban forager, harvesting mushrooms from Green-Wood Cemetery, beach plums from Jamaica Bay and century-old glass bottles from the dump at Dead Horse Bay..." 
- The New York Times


"When people call Gotham an urban jungle, they seldom mean anything about flora or fauna. But if you don't think of this city as a living ecosystem, Marie Viljoen will change your perspective forever. This is creative nonfiction, cut from the same cloth as great nature writing..." 
- Gabrielle, Langholtz, Edible Brooklyn

"This book shows you a New York City you will never forget." 
- Wilder Quarterly


"This is an engaging, grounded and gorgeous book." 
- Edible San Diego


"This is my favorite kind of cookbook. Stories on every page with recipes tucked in between, gorgeous photos that make me see the streets of New York in a completely different light, and an emphasis on sharing meals with friends. It's the kind of cookbook that I keep by my bedside to read in the drowsy, restful moments before sleep and then carry with me into the kitchen the next day...This book is the full package!" 
- The Kitchn


"...a handsome hardback, filled with arty food, flower and city photos....offer(s) visions of growing, cooking and sharing fresh food as central to living a good life."- Seattle Times
